The man known only as “B" is half-mortal and half-god, , cursed and compelled to violence… even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the earth for centuries, B 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, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.
  
  
• The anime series will further expand the BRZRKR universe by exploring different elements of the story. In the series, Reeves will reprise his role and voice his character.

I was hoping this would go to Netflix. I read the first issue today and it was pretty good.

This whole thing has bothered me from the start. Why do millionaires need to do a kickstarter for a comic that would no doubt be turned into a film that's going to make millions.

I don't quite understand it either.

The lead character was certainly drawn for Keanu.

This show needs to buy a vowel.

Sounds a great concept, count me in, have they announced a director yet?

This sounds right up Zack Snyder's street.

Read the first 2 graphic novels in this series and it's pretty damn good so far. Hope we hear more news on the movie version soon.

Any word on the book/novel yet…?

Yeah I collected the first few issues but then had to cut back on some comics but those books were pretty good.

It's definitely going somewhere interesting. The 3rd TPB is out at the end of this year so I will be getting it. Really hope the movie can deliver.
