Keanu Reeves made his debut as a comic book creator this month with the release of BRZRKR #1, the first issue in a new series from Boom! Studios about an immortal warrior’s 80,000 year fight through the ages, and now comes word that Netflix has snapped up the rights to the comic for a feature film adaptation and subsequent anime series spinoff.
The official description for the comic reads:
The man known only as “B” is half-mortal and half-god, cursed and compelled to violence… even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the earth for centuries, B may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.

Also producing are Ross Richie and Stephen Christy of Boom! Studios and Stephen Hamel of Company Films.
