Writer Matt Kindt ( MIND MGMT) and artist Ron Garney ( Ghost Rider) suggest their Hollywood collaborator threaded B’s story with his own personal history, but what the trio has literally put on the page is viscerally satisfying - if B isn’t ripping people to shreds in a ancient battle zone, he’s stewing in a violent history of his own creation, frustrated by the answers offered by the mortal plane. government, the book is a high-impact, blood-soaked character study with graphic ambition. Dividing time between the past, where a half-god child is born to a tribe of prehistoric people only to grow into a murderous, unkillable savior, and 80,000 years later in the present, where “B” exists as a contract killer for the U.S. There’s little room to read between the lines of BRZRKR, John Wick and Matrix actor Keanu Reeves’ first stab at a comic book. ![]()
