“BRZRKR was such a large scale project that I think we all needed to recover afterward…but I think we all had a feeling we’d be back,” said Matt Kindt in a statement about the new comic. “This one is bigger and crazier than anything we’ve done before. Whatever you’re expecting, flip it upside down and multiply it by a thousand.”
The new series will once again flash back to a period in B’s life, this time focusing on his exploits in the 13th Century serving alongside Genghis Khan.
“I’m a huge fan of period pieces visually and, better yet, getting to tell this story - which feels as though it truly was almost lost to history only to be recovered as if it were found written in scrolls in an ancient tomb. Or like reading Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey,” said Ron Garney. “This story is so rich in texture, nature, and lore. I’m having a blast and can imagine any new readers and long time fans will too.”
The first series of BRZRKR was a major success for BOOM!, selling over 600,000 of #1 alone. A BRZRKR novel, The Book of Elsewhere, is publishing in July, this time co-written by Reeves and the celebrated science fiction author China Miéville. A feature film and anime series are also in various stages of development.
BRZRKR: The Lost Book of B #1 is published by BOOM! Studios on August 21.
