Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature! #1, published by D C Comics on March 26, 2025, is a tie-in comic to the Peacemaker TV series on Max, set between its first and second seasons. The issue features two parallel, action-packed stories inspired by the show's over-the-top, violent, and comedic tone.
Storyline Overview
The comic is a double feature, offering equal page time to two separate, yet connected, narratives.
The Vigilante Story ("A Time for Fables")
- Plot: When Adrian Chase (Vigilante) discovers Peacemaker is missing, he immediately assumes the worst: his best friend has been kidnapped by a supervillain called "The Controller". Unbeknownst to him, Peacemaker is just on vacation. Fueled by a hilarious misunderstanding and a desire to "save" his friend, Vigilante goes on an ultra-violent rampage through the criminal underworld of Evergreen, ripping faces off of guards and brutally dispatching low-level goons in search of information.
- Themes: This story captures Vigilante's social awkwardness, cluelessness, and psychotic tendencies, allowing readers into his unique, unhinged thought process through the art style and included diary entries written by actor Freddie Stroma.
The Eagly Story ("Peaceful Vacation")
- Plot: Peacemaker (Chris Smith) and his majestic bald eagle sidekick, Eagly, decide to take a much-needed vacation to Alaska after a grueling mission against "Nazi lizard dudes". Aboard their flight, they are interrupted by masked hijackers and toxic gas, which knocks them unconscious. They wake up stranded in the wilderness and are forced to fight for survival against assassins from the League of Assassins.
- Themes: This narrative is more broadly comedic, focusing on the dynamic between Eagly as the true hero and Peacemaker as his "pet human". It showcases intense action sequences with a high body count and the crude humor familiar from the TV show.
