BRZRKR is a fast-paced, action-packed series that shows the high cost of immortality. Reeves is joined by co-writer Matt Kindt and artist Ron Garney for a story that isn't afraid to show how deadly immortality can be. The first collection by BOOM! Studios contains the first four issues of the decade's best-selling comic and is tailor-made for fans looking for a thrill.
