How can two fan-favorite stars share the spotlight? With a double feature, of course!<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacemaker\u2019s two (arguably) best friends team up in this in-world extravaganza!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today DC announced the new five-issue comic book series\u00a0Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante\/Eagly Double Feature!<\/em>\u00a0by creators Tim Seeley and Mitch Gerads (on the Vigilante story), and Rex Ogle and Matteo Lolli (on the Eagly story), with James Gunn as story consultant. Set between seasons one and two of Max Original series\u00a0Peacemaker<\/em>, the comic will give fans and readers a taste of where the hit television show will go in 2025\u2026with two of its fan-favorite characters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In DC\u2019s upcoming Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante\/Eagly Double Feature!<\/em> comic book series (Ages 17+), Peacemaker \u201cstars\u201d in two in-world stories with his two best friends\u2014Eagly and Vigilante! Each storyline picks up right where the Max Original show ended\u2026with Peacemaker missing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Eagly story, we see exactly where Christopher has been: in the Alaska outdoors to get some fresh air, with his real<\/em> best bird-friend, Eagly. On their small-plane trip, they and the other passengers are gassed and knocked out. When they wake up, they find themselves being hunted for sport by a dangerous group of Super-Villains\u2026a far cry from the peaceful vacation Chris had in mind! But little do the hunters know they\u2019ve bitten off more than they can chew\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen [DC editor] Katie Kubert asked me to do a short for DC\u2019s Strange Love Adventures<\/em>, I was stoked to write a Peacemaker story,\u201d said writer Rex Ogle on the Eagly (and Peacemaker) half of the double feature. \u201cSo getting to dive back in and play with this iconic antihero again (and in a miniseries this time!) is a total dream. Part of what makes him so great is that at his core, Peacemaker is a hopeless optimist. He wants the world to be a better place, not just for himself, but for others. He doesn\u2019t always go about achieving peace in the right way, but he brings an incredible levity to the violence that is already ever-present in our world. And sometimes we need to laugh at the bad\u2014so we don\u2019t break down and cry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBringing Peacemaker and Eagly to life in a comic is like unleashing chaos and heart on every page,\u201d said artist Matteo Lolli. \u201cRex was able to both capture their funny bond and make for a perfect mix of action and humor. Drawing Peacemaker is obviously a blast, but capturing a character that doesn\u2019t speak? Not easy. And what if this character happens to be a bird to whom nature gave by default a stern and angry look? That\u2019s a whole other challenge, and I wasn\u2019t sure I could deliver it without the right kind of script. Luckily for me, Rex did a fantastic job with it. It\u2019s pure fun to see their unpredictable dynamic unleashed in this new adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI write a ton of books and graphic novels for middle grade and young adult readers, which I love,\u201d continued Ogle, \u201cbut there\u2019s nothing quite like returning to my comic book roots to work on something where I can unleash my inner creative beast. Writing Christopher Smith lets me do just that\u2014go buck wild\u2014not just with some good ol\u2019 fashioned violence, but with humor and unnecessary nudity. Peacemaker lets me live the dream of writing stories I wanted to read as a kid.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante\/Eagly Double Feature!<\/em>\u00a0#1 interior art by\u00a0Mitch Gerads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Vigilante story, Adrian goes to Peacemaker\u2019s house for beers and blowing things up, but finds Chris and Eagly gone. Immediately assuming they\u2019ve been kidnapped or worse, Vigilante suits up for a vengeance-filled spree against the local criminal community. Meanwhile, Chris and Eagly are on their bromantic vacation to Alaska, with Chris having completely forgotten to ask Adrian to go\u2026or even tell him he was gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m in my Vigilante era,\u201d said artist Mitch Gerads on the Vigilante (without Peacemaker) half of the double feature. \u201cI have 100 Taylor Swift friendship bracelets to trade\u2014they\u2019re in Vigilante colors and say \u2018Vigilante Shit.\u2019 Come find me at NYCC and join the fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAwkward. Clueless. Possibly psychotic. Obsessed with destroying furniture. That\u2019s Mitch Gerads,\u201d said writer Tim Seeley. \u201cOh\u2026wait? You mean you want me to describe Adrian Chase, Vigilante? Oh, sure. He\u2019s the coolest dude ever and he smashes so many chicks. Also, he\u2019s a great friend, and definitely not a serial-killing busboy. Peacemaker is lucky to call him \u201cbro,\u201d and Mitch and I are lucky to continue his horrifically violent adventures at DC Comics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
