What can’t Keanu Reeves do?
Written by CBW Staff on July 17, 2020
Beginning October 7, Boom Studios brings us Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR with co-writer Matt Kindt and illustrator Alessandro Vitti.
The story goes, according to USA Today, Reeves met with Boom! sometime last year about creating material for live-action vehicles, and he pitched them on “this character who was born 80,000 years ago, half man, his father’s a war god. It’s a little fantasy in reality,” Reeves says. “I had this image in my head of a guy fighting through the ages because of his father’s compulsion to violence” but with the pathos of a man “trapped and trying to figure it out.”
What we can expect is action-packed and hyper-violent. BRZRKR (assuming it’s pronounced berserker) centers on a warrior who looks a lot like a certain beloved actor and has walked a blood-soaked path across the world for centuries. In present day, the Berzerker does dangerous jobs for the U.S. government in exchange for the truth about his existence.
