BRZRKR, co-created by actor Keanu Reeves, follows the adventures of a mysterious immortal mercenary who undertakes black ops for the government. Reeves co-wrote the series with Matt Kindt, and served as the visual inspiration for the mercenary known only as B. A Kickstarter campaign was launched for the collected edition of the series and raised over $1 million dollars during its run.

To capitalize on the success of BRZRKR's Kickstarter campaign, BOOM! Studios also launched a series of variant covers for the first issue. The covers will be illustrated by a variety of artists, including Mark Brooks (Star Wars: Han Solo) and Dan Mora (Go Go Power Rangers). One of these covers, by artist Jonboy Meyers (Spawn), even features a signature from Reeves himself.

Written by Keanu Reeves & Matt Kindt and illustrated by Ron Garney, BRZRKR #1 goes on sale on March 3 from BOOM! Studios.
