Related: REVIEW: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #130Īrtist Ron Garney and colorist Bill Crabtree play a great part in the allure of this franchise, and BRZRKR #9 demonstrates their mastery quite nicely. ![]() The transition from ambiguous, floating blueness to military bloodbath is seamless and satisfying, and the latter half of this issue makes up for the slow pace and lack of clarity in the beginning. Rather than answering questions, Reeves and Kindt leave many of the audience's questions unanswered. The scene is so brief that it leaves readers wanting more. There is plenty of the latter here, and the former, an exploration of B's character and origin, is only hinted at in the beginning sequence. BRZRKR's strengths stem from B's complex character studies and the high-speed action scenes rife with bloodshed, gore, and suspense. It might be surprising to hear that this is its main weakness. Considering the lengthy pause between issues, BRZRKR #9 features a lot of action and little talk. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ryan dedicated his book for all the men of D-Day.

Even reading in the heat of summer, you can feel the cold seeping in, along with a steadily growing dread, as you come to realize the Wrights are not alone. The location only increases the suspense: a rumored-to-be haunted, converted chapel in the middle of nowhere, isolated and cut off by an incoming snowstorm.

When Amelia wins a weekend getaway to the Scottish Highlands, what begins as a potential romantic weekend to save their marriage instead kicks off an eerie, unsettling sequence of events.
