Ryan. Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Surprised to not see more conversation around here considering how high the preorders were. I don't think there's much spec potential here except for some of the high ratio variants but the story was surprisingly strong. The premise is kind of weak (unstoppable killer, mysterious past, government secrets ops, etc.) but the narrative worked really well on top of the action-focused art. It was definitely a quick read but the first issue ends with an intriguing setup for future issues. I'm in for the whole twelve issues.

I plan to grab a copy today to read, which will provide some background for when this becomes a movie. Like you said, no spec here, but I think the story has been brewing for a while, so nice to see it come to life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWOslave Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 the initial solicit led me to believe this is similar to john wick. but since Keanu is directly involved i hopped on it because he is breathtaking. Mirkinator and djzombi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it and will at least give the 1st 3 a chance to see where it goes. If it keeps my attention I will grab all 12. I passed on the 1-per store and only going for the main cover.

Terry JSA Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I’m surprised as well, there’s not much talk about this book but I don’t don’t see it going anywhere either aside from the ratio variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
followtheleader Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Flipped thru it and put it back. Thought the artwork was poor. Kindt is intriguing, not so much w/ Reeves. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotKey Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Talked to the LCS manager earlier today about this as he just got his 1/1000 back as a 9.8. Beautiful book. He said they are allowing full returns while keeping variant covers, he is expecting to send 500+ back, so while 600k may have been ordered, most of those are getting the covers ripped off and sent back for credits while keeping the variants. Long term this may have some actual potential if 400k+ get returned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Kids, Comics! Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 One of my LCS just posted this pic on Facebook. So I guess they ordered 10k copies to get 10 variants. I don't know the math of ordering that many or how returns work, but I know they should get at least $25k for the 10 slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflown41 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Anyone else concerned about this ongoing trend here where new books are now being ordered in excessive quantity for investment purposes similar to the 90s? I visited several shops this past weekend and they all had HUGE stacks of this book on their shelves. One store even had a dedicated section for BRZRKR where they labelled it as a "Great Investment Opportunity" and offered discounts of buying them in bulks of 10 and 25 copies lot. This is something I haven't seen since the market crashed back in the late 90s. Second Blight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I cant believe the discussion over this book. The print run is enormous. Great for a retailer with the incentive covers. Other then that even if they rip up 400k copies there is still 200k out there. As long as you convince another sucker great, but don't try to kid people here this book is very plentiful.
