You’d expect a comic book series headlined by Keanu Reeves to be pretty chill, but in the case of BRZRKR, you’d be very wrong. Created by Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney, BRZRKR tells the story of B, an immortal warrior with a death wish who has been cursed to fight in a war with no end. If you’re interested in checking out BRZRKR, a Deluxe Limited Edition hardcover collecting the first 12 issues released last month.
BRZKR’s Deluxe Limited Edition is currently discounted by over $20 and eligible for Amazon’s B2G1 Free Book Sale. Multiple BRZRKR trade paperbacks are buy two, get one free, too. And since it fits the Keanu Reeves theme, it’s worth noting that The Book of Elsewhere, which Reeves co-authored with China Miéville, is up for grabs in the sale. The Book of Elsewhere was published in July.

The 400-page hardcover collection includes the entire run of BRZRKR so far. The story follows B–who bears a striking resemblance to Reeves on a high-protein diet–throwing himself into suicide missions on behalf of the US government. As you’d expect, the art gets incredibly gory, and Garney’s illustrations hold nothing back as B gets stabbed, shot, burned, and blown up in each mission. Self-preservation is for mortals, after all.
Here’s the official pitch for BRZRKR from publisher Boom Studios:
“The man known only as B is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence, even at the sacrifice of his sanity,” the official synopsis for the series reads. “But after wandering the world for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge–working for the US government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires–the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence and how to end it.”
