Coming Soon, BRZRKR: Fallen Empire, from BOOM! Studios

By John Freeman on November 16, 2023

Created by the iconic Keanu Reeves, BRZRKR and The Batman Part II screenwriter and Eisner-nominated writer Mattson Tomlin (A Vicious Circle) is joined by hit artist Rebekah Isaacs (Money Shot) and colourist Dee Cunniffe to bring to light a new chapter in the BRZRKR mythos with BRZRKR: Fallen Empire #1.

The lone survivor of Olos, a long-dead–once thriving–empire, tells a tale of B.’s distant past and the death and cataclysm he brought forth.

But what did B. find that could have driven him to such violent ends? The desires of the heart are as much a weapon as any in B.’s arsenal…
