Peacemaker Tries Hard! #2

Gushing with more vulgar humor than you can reasonably rinse off with a hose, Peacemaker Tries Hard #2 will leave you smiling. Starks' impeccable ability to capture the tone and humor of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and the subsequent Peacemaker series is a perfect match for DC's Black Label. Read Full Review

Peacemaker Tries Hard! captures the incredible action and comedic tone fans of Peacemaker loved and distills them into the comics form as only Starks and Pugh can. Read Full Review

Peacemaker ends up being pretty useless this time, and it makes for a well-done story of betrayal, misunderstanding and dog-napping. Read Full Review

The issue has some of the funniest bits in a book I've seen in a long time, such as the bizarre collection of helmets that Peacemaker keeps in storage. However, while the issue was a lot of fun, the predictable downer ending knocks it down a little and sort of means the events of this issue were just spinning its wheels. Read Full Review

A definite step-up from the opening issue, in my opinion. Some of the dialogue wasn't my favorite, but I found myself enjoying the humor more here and I really liked the dynamic between Peacemaker and Mallah. One of the things I was getting ready to say in this review as I got closer to finishing this issue was that I wanted a series of just the two of them, but that seems highly unlikely after the ending of this issue. Either way, I enjoyed this more than the first issue and I hope the rest of this miniseries continues to get better and better.
