As the berserker is used to destroy, devastate, and pave the way for the Silk Road, he must battle against his seemingly unstoppable violent urges and break free from the hold the warlord has over him.

In Fallen Empire, a ruined kingdom has a single living survivor. In this tragic story of death and cataclysm, she recounts a fable of lost love, and bloody vengeance.

In A Faceful of Bullets, B. finds himself in the snowy wilds of pre-Civil War Missouri, and caught up in the conflict involving a land baroness’s father and an abolitionist. After a deadly series of events, he's mistaken for an angel, one to be used for vengeful purposes…

Keanu Reeves sagt: Time to go BRZRK! Ein Krieg ohne Ende, ein Mann ohne Grenzen: B – halb Mensch, halb Gott – ist verflucht und kann sich dem Sirenengesang der Gewalt nicht entziehen. Auch wenn dies bedeutet, dass sein Verstand pausenlos auf der scharfen Messerklinge des Wahnsinns balanciert … Nach Jahrhunderten eines Lebens im unstillbaren Blutrausch scheint B nun bei der US-Regierung einen Zufluchtsort gefunden zu haben und kämpft für diese in jenen Schlachten, die für alle anderen zu gewalttätig und gefährlich erscheinen. Im Austausch für seine Dienste wird B die Erfüllung seines größten Begehrens in Aussicht gestellt: die Wahrheit über seine blutdürstige unsterbliche Existenz zu erfahren … und wie man dieser ein Ende bereiten kann. Keanu Reeves dringt mit BRZRKR in ganz neue Gefilde vor und präsentiert uns zusammen mit New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Matt Kindt (FOLKLORDS, GRASS KINGS) sowie dem gefeierten Künstler Ron Garney (JUGGERNAUT) eines der wohl brutalsten, actiongeladensten Comic-Debüts aller Zeiten!

Der Preis der Freiheit B – halb Mensch, halb Gott – ist verflucht und kann sich dem Sirenengesang der Gewalt nicht entziehen … Er macht sich nun auf, ein weiteres Mal die Welt zu durchwandern. Nachdem er die Strapazen einer Reihe von Experimenten und Missionen überwunden hat, werden Bs Erinnerungen an seine Herkunft endlich wiederhergestellt. Nun steht es in den Sternen, was dies für Bs Zukunft bedeuten könnte … und schließlich auch seine Freiheit. Man muss kein Genie sein, um zu erraten, dass die US-Regierung nur ungern eine so wertvolle Ressource wie B und seine Gewaltbereitschaft aufgeben will. So stellt sich die alles entscheidende Frage: Welchen Preis würdest du für die wahre Freiheit zahlen? Keanu Reeves, New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Matt Kindt (FOLKLORDS, GRASS KINGS) sowie der gefeierte Künstler Ron Garney (JUGGERNAUT) liefern uns im zweiten Band ein weiteres Kapitel kompromissloser Gewalt.
