Steve Skroce Joins Keanu Reeves’ ‘BRZRKR-Verse’ And Takes On Eldritch Horrors This Summer
by Brendan M. Allen
Keanu Reeves is joined by writer and artist Steve Skroce and colorist Dave Stewart for the first-ever BRZRKR one-shot special that pits the immortal B. against a Lovecraftian nightmare in BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness this July from BOOM! Studios.
“A sea of gore and devastation awaits as B., through a fateful chance encounter, safeguards the advanced and ancient realm of Atlantis as its unstoppable protector. But a sickly king serves as a symbol for the rot inside the kingdom, as the security and bliss created through B.’s violence is shallow… The cracks created by a secret cult might spell a monstrous end for the legendary city, one beyond even B.’s ability to save.”
“I loved the original BRZRKR series and I’m thrilled to be helping Keanu craft a tale of high fantasy and adventure in his creation’s singular, blood soaked style. It’s action horror on a scale you can only get on the comics page,” said Skroce.
“How can you say no to ‘B. versus Cthulhu’? You can’t. And instead you ask Steve Skroce and Dave Stewart to make the most heavy metal, moody, action-packed one-shot of the summer,” said editor Jon Moisan.
Featuring covers by Steve Skroce, Travis Charest, David Aja, and David Mack, BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness will be available in comic shops July 2023.
