* Will this one unlock the mystery that is his existence? Or will B. be cursed to wander the Earth forever?
Garney and Crabtree have crafted a gruesome, emotionally stimulating issue that visually brings this tale to life. The detailed artwork and muted colors are eye-catching. And the changing color palette ebbs and flows with the intensity of the story in a way that is extremely engaging. Read Full Review
BRZRKR #4 puts the capstone on Bs origin and builds things for the future. This story isnt exactly a new story- Kindt and Reeves are sort of telegraphing exactly where the book is going, with the government trying to create more of him, the object that will make B normal, and how his powers came about- but its well told. Garneys art is the icing on the cake; it works with the script very well. This book may not be re-inventing the wheel, but its still great. Read Full Review
It's clear that Keanu Reeves first foray into the world of comic books has created something special, and teaming with the talented Matt Kindt has created a story which at first glance is just an action filled comic, but on closer inspection is surprisingly nuanced and subtle. The art is fantastic and does a great job of capturing both the over the top brutality and the quieter moments as well. Read Full Review
BRZRKR #4 spins its narrative wheels for half the issue, with the series' intense action sequences covering up a lack of plot advancement. With the issue ending on a surprising meeting between B and Diana, I hope that this series pushes the narrative forward in the next issue or manages to justify its twelve-issue run in the end.

Action needed to be it's base, and that's been the case, but none of the action has gotten readers from point A to B " in all honesty, we should be even further along than point B through BRZRKR #4, yet it feels like the plot has hardly developed since the first issue of the series.

Overall, this issue kind of feels like a decision point for the title. Either it's going to kick fully into gear or it's going to fizzle. In either case, things are just okay. Read Full Review
Overall, I was hoped that when I read BRZRKR #4 for review, it would be the saving grace of this first volume and finish on a solid, strong note. Sadly, this issue is not what it needed to be at all and just seems like such an anticlimactic way to end the first story arc of a brand new comic series. Read Full Review
BRZRKR Issue #4 is simply wow! I thought that the last issue was an improvement but this latest chapter pushed the pedal to the metal. The paramount aspect was the gore which was just bloody brilliant – no pun intended.
I also admired how writers Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt handled the transitions between vast time periods with such finesse. Ron Garney’s artwork could use some gloss, but for what it’s worth, really helped bring the adrenaline-pumping, gut-tearing, horse beheading action to life.
It usually takes me 20 minutes on average to finish a general-length comic-book issue but with this chapter it took me only a whopping 10 minutes! I was so disappointed when I saw the 24-page issue come to an end with the more
I really liked the resurrection, I think this will be the starting point for many interesting things.
Large number, solid, without missing a beat.
I mean its pretty good. But the lasts few issues have been pretty similar. It does have a good premise though, and the visuals are great.
Issue 4 of BRZRKR feels the same as the rest. The story is moving forward, but it feels like it is going to go in a new direction soon. At least I hope. The writing is still good, and the art isn't too bad. I just want more out of this title, and hope they aren't using a big name like Keanu Reeves to just grab people's attention.
Ron Garney’s art is still great, his bloody carnage is always impressive to look at. Unfortunately this issue pretty much covers the same ground as the previous 2, more repetitive fighting in the past as B tells it to Diana. Thankfully the ending seems to be sending this in a more exciting direction because his origin has taken longer than it needed.
Honestly I'm pretty deceived by where the story's going!!
