So the wholesome 100 Keanu Reeves himself decides to write a comic book, and the results are... About what you'd expect: Kind of shallow, but still fun. BRZRKR tells the story of an immortal soldier that -between all the berzerking he does- is actually a depressed guy that's looking for a cure for his immortality.

This book is surprisingly similar to John Wick. Aside from the fact that the main character is literally just buff Keanu Reeves, it holds the same principle of shallow story with tons of action and long scenes of the main character just brutally killing a lot of people. I say the story is shallow because there's so little of it, but what's there actually isn't bad.

I had fun with the first volume, but I think the big question is whether this story warrants 3 volumes or not. I guess I'll find out.

Night of the Ghoul is an amalgamation of all the horror cliches you'd come to expect. I keep reading Scott Snyder's work thinking this might change my mind on him, but like his other works it's sloppy and uninspired. It's a 4/10 horror flick in comic form.

Well, this was a great surprise! Kroma is a wonderful fantasy tale about a world where color is evil and everyone is forced to live in the safety of the monochrome pale city after the king of color declared war on humanity. The lore is straightforward but very rich and creative. The story and art definitely don't disappoint either.



The less said about the story is better, so I won't elaborate much on it and you can go in spoiler-free. What I really love about Kroma though is that it doesn't overstay its welcome at all. At about just 180 pages, you can read it all in one sitting. It surprisingly doesn't feel rushed either, there's just enough story for you to be satisfied.

I'm torn. This book had fantastic art, a very neat ambitious story, and a very interesting world. But it also has serious issues with the story that take away from the whole experience. The second half is kind of repetitive and leads nowhere for a while, then we get a very abrupt ending that had little to no build up.

It was a fun read and I'd recommend it, but the ending was pretty disappointing, so it's more of a 3/5 than a 4/5.

Tom King is very hit or miss for me, and this one just ended up being not bad. The story definitely thinks it's smarter than it actually is. For a story about The Riddler, I was hoping it wouldn't be that simple.

Also, Tom King does his thing where he makes the characters unnecessarily edgy. Not a fan of his version of Gordon.
