Art

The art from Salvador is gorgeous. This is just one example of the beauty they’re able to capture in their art. Everything in this photo is palpable. I can feel the dryness of the pasture, the wind, the heat radiating off the sun. I can hear the birds swooping and cawing waiting for the mysterious figure to bite the dust.

A man with a bag over his head swings from a noose with chains around his body. Black birds can be seen circling above through the glow of the sun.

Story

I absolutely love this short story. I wish there was more about the bride and her father, as that would really round out the background for me. But, if you have read the initial BRZRKR story, it’s not entirely necessary. You already know who and what BRZRKR is, and why he exists.

I think what Keanu and the folks at Boom have done with this character is actually pretty genius. They’ve set themselves up to tell as many short stories as they want, in any setting they want, and nobody will question it if they’ve read the original stories. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next, and I’ll continue to buy and read every story about our friend B.
