Just as a notice if this is a turnoff, battlebeast was written by the same guy that wrote the invincible and walking dead comics. Anyways…
I love this cartoonishly over the top comic. I love the medieval sci fi aesthetic, the extreme animalistic-martial artist-like viscerality of the action, and the entire setup of battle beast being a deliberately shallow protagonist. It really is like berserk with the self insert lonely stuff about guts removed and it works.
Funnily enough, Battle Beast is the name of a heavy metal band, members of which split off to become Beast in Black which is basically a Berserk tribute band.
>>29120I my thank you for telling me this.
>>29120Many of Battle Beast's songs are about Berserk, too. (Or maybe just in the early albums, before the split? I have not kept up with them.)
Kirkman also wrote Marvel Team-Up 20 years ago which I thought was fun.
