Issue #3:
(1) It was hard to choose art from this issue to show. Nearly the entire thing was burst skulls and beating people to death with torn limbs.
- Far too graphic to post on my feed.
(2) At this point, the bloodbath gimmick's already been done to death. This series is quickly revealing itself to be a one-trick pony. Each issue is a pinch of story and a pound of gore.

Issue #4
(1) You know, when they do the inevitable Netflix version, either they're going to have to cast a young Keanu, or else really lean into deepfake technology.
- His character spends nearly the whole book in only a skirt.
(2) Speaking of which, his skirt looks strikingly like a jacket tied around his waist.
- How very Bill and Ted... wonder if it's intentional?

Issue #2:
(1) I don't really know how seriously to take such a comedically large stone axe.
(2) Impregnation via lightning bolt seems a better idea on paper.
- In silhouette, if I hadn't known it was lightning going in, I'd have assumed stuff was coming out.
(3) Apparently, 80,000 years ago, stone-age people played a form of rock hockey.
- We get it, Keanu, you're Canadian.

Issue #1:
(1) Right off the bat, this feels like the opening scene to a film.
- From the calm, clinical voiceover juxtaposed with mindless death and destruction, to the non-specific banana republic they're fighting through.
(2) I'll admit, I'm decently enthused about the start of this. Brain-splattering action isn't really my cup of tea, so I wonder why I'm not hating this.

Notes:
(1) Remember O magazine? The gimmick was Oprah that was on the cover of every issue. I wonder if Keanu Reeves has the same sort of deal. This 5-issue series has over 40 different covers, and all are just portraits of Keanu.
- I understand he's the title character, but not even Batman's on the cover of every Batman.
- These are all deliberate likenesses.
