BRZRKR: a comic book series by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt, featuring an immortal warrior fighting through history.
BRZRKR is a comic book series that has been generating a lot of buzz since its debut in March 2021. Created and written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt, with artwork by Ron Garney, the series follows an immortal warrior named Berzerker as he fights his way through different eras of history. The first issue of the 12-issue limited series was published by Boom! Studios and raised over $1.4 million USD in its funding campaign on Kickstarter.

Netflix announced in March 2021 that they would be developing a live-action film adaptation and an anime series based on the comics, with Reeves cast as the lead. The live-action film adaptation is being written by Mattson Tomlin, writer of Project Power and one of the writers on The Batman. In July 2022, it was announced that the anime series adaptation will be produced by Production I.G and will have two seasons.
Overall, BRZRKR is an exciting addition to the comic book world, and fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the remaining issues in the series. With the upcoming film and television adaptations, the popularity of the series is only expected to grow.
