Garney takes over for originally-announced series artistꦛ Alessandro Vitti. No reason was given for the change.

💛BRZRKR was co-created, conceived by, and sorta stars Keanu Reeves, who co-writes the series with Matt Kindt. ꦯColorist Bill Crabtree and letterer Clem Robins round out the previously announced creative team.

"I'm thrilled to have been asked to join Keanu, a♋nd Matt, Bill, Clem, and the whole team on BRZRKR," says Garney. "I've started collaborating with them and am really digging diving into this."

"In my over-30-year career I've w🎶orked on so many projects, and this feels like a fresh, new, unique, and cool character in an action-packed world that is like something we've never experienced before," Garney continues. "It's adventurous, and exploring the fascinating conflict behind the mysterious hero B is a trip I’m excited to be on."

Garney𒁃 is known for his work on characters including Captain America, Daredevil, and Wolverine. BRZRKR marks Garney's first non-'Big Two' work in decades.

"Ron Garney has been delivering sღpectacular work on Marvel's top characters for years and we're thrilled to have him join BRZRKR as series artist," ad♍ds Matt Gagnon, Editor-in-Chief of Boom! Studios. "Ron and Keanu's influences in comics, and vision for the series, couldn't be more in line. Ron Garney is a perfect match to bring the visceral world of BRZRKR to life."
