Brzrkr: A Faceful of Bullets #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBRZRKR: A Faceful of Bullets #1 marks the first issue of the second volume of the BRZRKR: Bloodlines line — a series of standalone extra-length specials designed to flesh out the 80,000-year history of the immortal warrior B. beyond the boundaries of the original twelve-issue maxiseries. By handing the reins to writer Jason Aaron, a decades-long veteran of Marvel's most demanding franchises, BOOM! Studios signaled that the BRZRKR universe was mature enough to support outside creative voices exploring wholly new genre territory — in this case, a pre-Civil War Western set in 1800s America. The issue also arrived during a deliberately orchestrated franchise-expansion year that simultaneously included the first BRZRKR prose novel and the first Bloodlines collected edition, cementing 2024 as the moment the property pivoted from a creator-driven limited series into a multi-format, multi-author publishing line. Selling out at the distributor level and earning a second printing within weeks of its July 2024 debut, the issue demonstrated that reader appetite for B.'s historical vignettes extended well beyond the core creative team.

The parent BRZRKR series was co-created by actor Keanu Reeves and writer Matt Kindt, with art by Ron Garney, and launched via a 2020 Kickstarter campaign — becoming the highest-funded comic book crowdfunding project in the platform's history and the best-selling original comics debut in over twenty-five years — before completing its twelve-issue run at BOOM! Studios in March 2023. The Bloodlines spinoff format grew out of that success as a vehicle for guest creative teams to dramatize individual chapters from B.'s vast history; A Faceful of Bullets was announced in February 2024 as the opening installment of Bloodlines' second volume, with Jason Aaron attached as writer. Between announcement and the book's final July 24, 2024 street date, the interior artist credit shifted from Francesco Manna (named in the original press release) to Salvador Larroca, with Manna ultimately appearing only on the Cover A; colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Ed Dukeshire completed the published creative team.
