McFarlane has announced another license agreement for their Action Figure line with a deal struck with Boom! Studios and their BRZRKR comic book series.
BRZRKR is written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt and follows the story of 'A War With No End' and the man known only as B, a half-mortal half-god.
Keanu Reeves makes his comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt and acclaimed artist Ron Garney in a brutally violent new series about one immortal warrior’s fight through the ages.
A WAR WITH NO END. The man known only as B. is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence…even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the world for centuries, the Berzerker may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B. will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.
The new line will see its product launch in December 2024. Read the full press release below

“Having been in the Comic Book industry myself, for nearly 40 years, I’m constantly looking for new characters that seem to be gripping the readership within the comic genre. A few years back a new title called BRZRKR burst out in a huge way, adding yet another high-level character to the pantheon of ‘must-read’ stories. Publisher BOOM!

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
