THEY GIVE PEACE A BAD NAME! DC Studios' James Gunn steps in as story consultant for 5 issues of insane $%&!@#$ calamity when two fan-favorite characters share the spotlight (and equal page count!) The Vigilante story starts when Peacemaker has disappeared! It's up to Adrian Chase, the Vigilante and Peacemaker's Bestest Friend to find him! The crime bosses of Evergreen must pay! BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED! (oh, wait, you say Peacemaker is just on vacation? Oh. uh. Don't tell Adrian.) Meanwhile, Eagly and his sidekick, Chris Smith (aka Peacemaker), are exhausted! After kicking the #$%@ out of a buncha Nazi lizard dudes, it's time to head to the grea more
This first double-feature issue is immensely fun, and the action is fast-paced and intense. Peacemaker and Vigilante are captured so well and their personalities are shining brightly through the page in this issue. I cannot wait for more from this crew! Read Full Review
This is a much more broadly funny story than the first, but they both fit into the anarchic, ultraviolent tone that we love from Gunn's earliest DC works. Read Full Review
Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1 delivers all the bloody chaos and humor you'd expect from Peacemaker, while building out DC Studios' new universe. Read Full Review
Finally, even if Gunn is always careful not to over-glamorize violence and deal with the nefarious consequences of vigilantism, we cant deny part of the fun with his previous DC projects comes from the well-designed R-rated violence. The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1 stays true to these expectations and spends some solid pages showing both Vigilante and Peacemaker/Eagly mowing through enemies. The blood and guts sprayed over the paper is a spectacle, helping the issue be more entertaining despite its storytelling shortcomings. Read Full Review
Gerads’ dynamic art transcends a puerile, but extremely entertaining and tv-accurate, script.
