First, thank you BOOM! Studios and NetGalley for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

BRZRKR Vol. 1 is an incredibly violent, gritty story following an immortal being who has been seen and used as a weapon his entire life - all 80,000 years of it (and counting).  I think this first volume explored enough that fans of Reeves will be invested in what's to come, but I don't think it did enough for the average comic reader to want to continue.  

There's a neat concept in all this gore, but we only get a hint of it here.
