Warning! Preview pages ahead for Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1!Fans of Peacemaker's hit, live-action show may have to wait a bit longer for a new season, but DC Comics is giving them all the action they can handle with a brand-new special. In a story consulted by DC Studios head James Gunn, Peacemaker and his allies return for a double feature chock-full of comedy and violence.

DC Comics has just provided its first look at both stories featured in Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1.

The preview for Peacemaker and Eagly's story, “Peaceful Vacation”, by Rex Ogle, Matteo Lolli, and John Kalisz, on the other hand, is more over-the-top and hilarious.Peacemaker and Eagly fight a group of Nazi lizardmen before deciding to take a trip to Alaska to unwind.

Peacemaker, Eagly, and Vigilante Return For a Hilarious and Brutal Double Feature

New Limited Series Takes All the Right Cues from the Show

Peacemaker practically became a household name overnight thanks to his appearance in the 2021 film, The Suicide Squad, before spinning off into his own self-titled series. Portrayed by John Cena, James Gunn’s incarnation kept the character’s dedication to achieving peace by any means necessary, but also added facets to his character, making him an incredibly complex and flawed character. But Christopher Smith wasn’t just in the spotlight in films and television. He got his own Black Label comic, Peacemaker Tries Hard!, and later played a supporting antagonistic role in the DC Comics 2024 event, Absolute Power.

It should be pointed out that this story is not meant to serve as a bridge between Peacemaker's first and upcoming second season, but it is inspired by the Max series and Gunn does serve as a story consultant for this double feature limited series and, while there's no dialogue in these preview pages, it does seem to have all the comedy and violence fans have come to expect from Peacemaker and his buddies. It might not be canon, but it looks like something that’ll satisfy fans until season 2 drops.

Peacemaker Double Feature Gives Fans Exactly What They Want

Forget About Canon and Just Enjoy the Ride

While fans of the Peacemaker show are going to have to be patient until the television series returns, this book looks like it's got a very familiar tone that they're going to love. Aside from having a killer creative team attached to it, James Gunn consulted on the story, so it's undoubtedly going to match the energy the audience has come to expect from his take on Peacemaker, Vigilante, and Eagly. As long as this double feature doesn't skimp on the violence, comedy or surprisingly insightful perspectives, this limited series could be the best Peacemaker series in years.

Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1is available on March 26th from DC Comics.
