Keanu Reeves Wrote A Comic Book Called BRZRKR And It's Out Today
Written by Andrew Reiner 
Last year, actor Keanu Reeves, New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt, and artist Ron Garney launched a Kickstarter campaign for BRZRKR, a comic book series about an immortal warrior who is drawn to look like Reeves. The campaign was embraced by over 14,000 people who combined to pledged a whopping $1,400,000 to get this project made.
Supporters of that Kickstarter receive the full story within three hard or softcover books. If you missed out on that campaign, and are interested in this comic, which Reeves co-writes (and kind of stars in), you can pick up the first issue today at your local comic book store. Published by Boom! Studios, BRZRKR is worth tracking down, as almost every page shows Reeves in action, being brutal and effective much like John Wick. Reeves' wavy black hair and low-key attitude are also delivered in almost every frame.
The action takes center stage, and there's little story progression until the final pages of this first chapter, but big reveals are delivered, one of which is tied to Reeves' character, Berserker, eating a pill that is both red and blue in color. Berserker is a half-mortal, half-god with regenerative powers much like Deadpool's. He's lived and battled for centuries, yet ends up working for the U.S. government as the person who tackles assignments that are too dangerous for any ordinary human.
If you ever wanted to read a Keanu Reeves story written by Keanu Reeves, you now have a chance to see how wild it can be. Reeves' comic book persona is reminiscent of many of his on-screen roles. It's quite cool to see how well it plays in print.
The first issue features many covers to choose from, with the standard edition created by the great Rafael Grampá (which you can see below).

Animal Crossing: New Horizons St. Patrick's Day Update Is Coming Soon
Written by Liana Ruppert 
While many island dwellers are currently getting their Super Mario on with the latest event in Animal Crossing, Nintendo just revealed what fans have to look forward to with the upcoming New Horizons St. Patrick's Day update.
While not a full-on event like some other seasonal activities, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons St. Patrick's Day update does add a few themed items for players to enjoy as they live out their island fantasies. From furnishing that home with a special shamrock rug to chugging down tankards of shamrock soda, there are quite a few ways to celebrate the luck of the Irish while still disappointing all of the villagers that trust you to run the island.
Oh, is that just me? Alright...
The Shamrock soda, shamrock doorplate, and shamrock rug items will be available from 3/10 to 3/17. One item in the series will be available each day, with selection changing daily. Shamrock day fashion items will also be available at Able Sisters during this time! #ACNH pic.twitter.com/AJpEc7phx5

The new items shown above will be available from March 10 through March 17, with one new item being available each day and a few variants thrown in here and there. For those who are suckers for fashion like myself, the Able Sisters shop will also have a few St. Patrick's Day-themed clothing options available during this time as well.
Want even more themed goodness in your island life? There is a special Sanrio crossover also going on right now which gives Hello Kitty, My Meloy, and Keroppi fans something new to enjoy. There are also a few returning villagers from Animal Crossing: New Leaf with this particular update which begs the very important question: Who is worth kicking someone off of your island for and why is it Marty?
Interested in learning even more about what's currently going on in the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons? You can check out our game hub right here to see all of the latest and greatest when playing this charming simulator.
