BRZRKR Vol I Review

The man known only as Berzerker is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence…even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the world for centuries, Berzerker may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, Berzerker will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.

General Impressions

Full honesty: I requested this because of Keanu and Keanu only.

I enjoyed reading this even if it was the introduction to the world and so storywise, it was mostly flashbacks. It reminded me a bit of The Old Guard in how it followed an immortal warrior tired of living but it didn't grab me as much.

It's already confirmed to be adapted, so there's that to look forward to because if there was one thing that this was, was VIOLENT! There was blood, guts and brains flying around in half the frames and I loved it. The art was definitely my favourite part.

I also appreciated how this was a book set in the Stone Age and yet there were characters of all kinds of races (see it's not difficult!) and it addressed, genocide, imperialism, children exploitation and power.

Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for this DRC.
