*** POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING ***

First & foremost, how incredible is the cover by Lee Garbett… WOW! Amazing work!

Readers start off with B on a routine mission that goes a bit sideways in the Ukraine. During this mission, Jim, his ally, gets seriously hurt when they’re leaving the battle. Trapped behind enemy lines, they have to find their way to international territory to be extracted. During this time, there is a great deal of conversation breaking down B’s past & perspective. From there, readers gets some new insight on B & Jim but they also are witnesses to how they were both pawns in a greater scheme.

The writers really went into some different directions with this issue. From crafting an amazing battle sequence (check out the promo art featured here) to taking a trip through B’s past, Reeves & Kindt really show different layers to B. There is so much to this character that new readers will have much to take in. It’s not something we see in most characters with the complexity shown here.

Garney’s art knocks it out of the park again this issue. The tank scene alone really pops off the page. It’s a wild scene with B & Jim trying to recover the artifact in the Ukraine. Garney’s depiction of this is absolutely incredible. Even with the quieter moments between Jim & B, Garney makes the most to show B opening himself up without going into a full confession. There is so much strong work between these pages. Absolutely stellar work with this issue.

BRZRKR #6 continues on its’ complex tale of B. Being Half man/half god is more layered than readers might thing. Reeves & Kindt bring that to the forefront with this issue. Garney’s art absolutely crushes as well. Where else will you see a tank get flipped over & the missile shot grabbed one handed? This book has a lot of things to be excited for as a reader. Make sure to grab a copy from your local LCS.

Let me know what you thought of the issue on Twitter. As always, thanks for reading!
