BOOM! Studios has announced the continuation of their brilliant Pen & Ink collection: a deluxe art-focused format of select first issues featuring stunning black and white interior artwork and cover with artist commentary of the record smashing BRZRKR #1: Pen & Ink by Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney, available October 2023. This newest issue follows Something Is Killing the Children: Pen & Ink #1, by Eisner-winning creators James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera and the multiple award-nominated The Many Deaths of Laila Star: Pen & Ink #1 by Ram V and Filipe Andrade in August 2023.
For those that couldn’t get enough of Keanu Reeves’ record-obliterating jump into the comics world, BRZRKR returns in a new format while fans eagerly await the Netflix feature film, the Netflix anime series, the novel, and more comic books! In addition to enjoying the brutality in the refreshingly bleak black and white of BOOM! Studios’ Pen & Ink line, series artist Ron Garney brings some method to the mayhem with brand new exclusive commentary!
“We were excited to bring the Pen & Ink program back this year, and thrilled to see how our retail partners and fans responded to our first offering with thunderous support,” said BOOM! Studios President of Publishing and Marketing, Filip Sablik. “This fresh presentation of some of our biggest debuts in recent years paired with incredible insight from the amazing artists who drew them is a must have for any fan, especially when that insight comes from a legendary storyteller and draftsman like Ron Garney!”
Every Pen & Ink issue will feature a premium cardstock cover and luxuriously thick wood free interior paper, alongside a gorgeous Spot UV variant cover and a blank sketch cover.
More exciting news on BRZRKR will be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con later this month!
BRZRKR #1: Pen & Ink will be available October 2023 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one) or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, and Google Play.
