BRZRKR is one of my favorite ongoing series. This run seems to have a lot of different elements that made me laugh. The main character has excellent lines that I was not expecting. Just like the original BRZRKR series, it has some world-building immediately. This mostly does not focus on the main character, but on the two scientists. These scientists are so smart and willing to take chances when it comes to experiments. I really didn’t know where the story was going at first. I suddenly realized that it was taking a comical approach to the entire lore.

It does have some world-building, as the scientists play a major part in all of it. I like world-building because it sets the standard as to what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised that there was not a lot of gore in this. Maybe I am being impatient, and have to wait for the next issue. BRZRKR is most notable for the gore. That is one of the many reasons as to what keeps me coming back to this world.

To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with this one. I was waiting for a lot of action, and it just wasn’t there. I am willing to give it a chance for later issues. Maybe something far more sinister is coming for the beloved anti-hero. As far as the art, it’s always nice. Both Ribic and Avallone did a wonderful job with the cover art and art in general. I love seeing the textures in each comic page, and that engages me to read more and more. Overall, this first issue was just okay. I really want them to ramp it up the next time that I read BRZRKR.
