BRZRKR Volume Three

If you read my review of BRZRKR Volume Two you’ll know I went into this final part of the trilogy with really low expectations. Expectations that were, in the event, barely met.

On the plus side, this is a really fast read. There isn’t a lot of talking, and what there is can be ignored, so you’re basically just flipping the pages looking at Ron Garney’s explosive art. And by that I mean there are lots of explosions.

Our hero B (or Unute, or Keanu Reeves) is feeling tapped out, so now’s a good time to introduce a Lady Berserker, a scientist guy who turns himself into a Berserker, and finally a pair of Berserker twins who are heading off at the end to grow and plant their seeds. Which sounded kind of creepy, but what do I know. Meanwhile, Unute becomes mortal but then is reborn so he’s immortal again and at the end he’s back on another planet or in another dimension or something.

No, none of this makes any sense. It might mean everything and nothing. And of course the story is left open-ended. I guess the Berserker twins could go on to have further adventures and the bad guy could re-assimilate and come back to haunt them. But I’m out. Some readers (especially if they’re fans of the Tao of Keanu) might still find the elevation of an action hero into a god interesting or even deep, but I feel like it’s been done to death and overall this struck me as one of the laziest comics I’ve read in recent years. So even if they do go on I won’t be hanging with it.
