Comic books by Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves, the Hollywood action man, has teamed up with New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Matt Kindt to produce a 12-issue comic-book series, “BRZRKR.”

Illustrated by Alessandro Vitti, the comic centres on a violent demigod who has been wandering the earth, searching for answers about his existence.

“After wandering the world for centuries, Berzerker may have finally found a refuge — working for the US government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else,” the synopsis reads.

“I have loved comics since I was a young kid and they have been a significant influence on me artistically,” Reeves said in a statement. Reeves also revealed that at one point he harboured dreams of playing Wolverine and now he would ‘love to play Berzerker.’

The first instalment of BRZRKR is scheduled for print and digital publication on October 7.
