The latest and greatest from Keanu Reeves’s BRZRKR universe is now here! It’s the Bronze Age and B. is dead. Again. Not for long, of course. But two rogue scientists have siphoned off a tiny portion of his protoplasm before he can fully reconfigure, and something else has been born anew…Something that must learn what it is, what its powers are, how to be in the world—and how to fight those who would try to control it.Drawing on real historical figures and events, and the secret histories of alchemy, award-winning writer Season Butler, NYT-bestselling author China Miéville, and seasoned artist Alessio Avallone craft a story that’s at once grim and funny, poignant and touching, about what it is to be human in this all-new, oversized one-shot.
