Keanu Reeves takes B back to the past with BRZRKR: Bloodlines

BOOM Studios and Keanu Reeves are set to return to the world of the BRZRKR with a brand new collection of stories set within the characters 80,000 year history…

BRZRKR: Bloodlines Vol. 1 sees Keanu Reeves joined by writer/artist Steve Skroce, writer/director Mattson Tomlin, fan-favorite artist Rebekah Isaacs, and colorists Dave Stewart and Dee Cunniffe for two unforgettable, violent tales:

In Poetry of Madness, B. safeguards the ancient realm of Atlantis as its unstoppable protector. But a sickly monarch symbolizes the rot within the city and the cracks created by a secret cult might spell the end of the legendary kingdom, one beyond even B.’s ability to save.

In Fallen Empire, a former kingdom decimated by the BRZRKR has a single survivor…one who must have her story heard and recorded else the same fate befall another damned kingdom.

“BRZRKR is a wide, ever expanding sandbox that Keanu and I like inviting other to play in,” said Executive Editor Eric Harburn. “Bloodlines Vol. 1 is our first look into many more years of BRZRKR storytelling.”

BRZRKR: Bkoodlines Vol. 1 is set to hit comic book shelves in March 2023

Crafting the Apocalypse with Kek-W

Rob takes a trip to Deadworld with 2000 AD writer Kek-W… ‘ The Fall of Deadworld: Redemption ’ made its return to the 2000 AD Prog this week. While the battle for Sector 13 and the wider city rumbles on, I spoke to curator of chaos, Kek-W about Deadworld past, and more importantly, its future. Looking back, what first attracted you to writing what’s essentially the Dark Judges origin story? KW - Well, the first four DREAMS OF DEADWORLD stories that Dave and I did were well received, so rather than just doing more of the same - stories that showcased the individual Dark Judges - I pitched the idea of telling the back-story of how the four of them destroyed an entire world. How did that happen, how might it work? I figured it was a landscape ripe with dramatic story-telling potential. 'Ripe' being the operative word! (laughs) I also thought it might be interesting to focus in on a ordinary family, to see and experience the collapse of civilization from their point of view and

Comic Book Review - The Best of 2000 AD Vol. 3

Rob reviews The Best of 2000 AD Vol.3… The ‘Ultimate Mix-Tape’ of 2000 AD’s greatest hits is back for its third volume. Packed with an array of specially curated strips, The Best of 2000 AD series does its very best in introducing you to the world of Tharg, and his Thrillverse. Much like its predecessors, this volume offers up an enticing mixture of strips and feature that draw across all corners of the wider 2000 AD mythos. While we do get a couple of standard trips to Mega-City 1 with Judge Dredd, series Editor Owen Johnson shows us the anthologies more “Tales of the Unexplained” side as things get a little bizarre. Personally, this third volume has been my favourite out of the series so far. Not only does it feature a Judge Dredd written by Michael Carroll, we also have the debut of Ian Edginton and D’Israeli. While you’d think that Johnson would of opted to include the duo’s phenomenal Scarlet Traces, he’s instead swapped the Earth/Mars war for the Atlantic Ocean, as we get a mu
