BRZRKR
This week, I started reading BRZRKR, a brand new comic-book series co-written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt. When the cashier at the store recommended it to me, she pitched it as “JOHN WICK, but even gorier,” to which I replied, “Is that possible?” Turns out, it is. Imagine this: A super-soldier punching through an attacker’s body, ripping out one of their ribs, and stabbing another assailant through the throat with it. But while it’s gory, it’s also magnificently illustrated by Ron Garney and tells a fascinating story. The central character is an invincible anti-hero on a quest for mortality, and the comics explore his mind through conversations with a psycho-therapist. Think of it like JOHN WICK meets THE SOPRANOS. If you’re interested, hurry to a comic-book shop soon—they’re selling out fast.
