DC is going balls deep in its Peacemaker character development at the moment with the TV Show and this new Black Series comic.

As for the art, Brown is a great fit. This character isn't a hero, and this is very much a dark story. You need an artist whose style reflects both of those qualities " enter Brown. And Lee Loughridge's colors help readers comfortably make the jump between Peacemaker's ridiculous past and the cold conversation taking place in the present. Read Full Review
Furthermore, this isn't your Jon Cena PEACEMAKER. Ennis' version isn't goofy or weird. Sure, he's awkward, direct, and silent. But to those looking for something humorous or fun from the character, that's not in this week's PEACEMAKER: DISTURBING THE PEACE #1 nor does it fit Ennis' style. However, there isn't a better pick for a writer to legitimize PEACEMAKER and separate him from the own screen, goofy Cena version than Garth Ennis. Read Full Review

The result is an impressive one-shot that applies elements of horror and action to create one of the most twisted reintroductions of a DC Comics character in many years and, despite the terror and ugliness on the page, it's hard to resist wanting more Peacemaker for the first time in the character's comics history.

If you’re this to be similar to the tv show, you are in for quite a surprise. Completely opposite in tone and attitude throughout the story. Extremely dark, but a fantastic story nonetheless
Ennis had some amazing commentary in this one, great writing, nice art and a very interesting take on the character
PICK OF THE WEEK!
Holy shit this was amazing but very dark. The tonal opposite of the HBO Max show.
This is a very cool one-shot. It's so very different from the show, but that's totally fine. I'm just surprised that it is so different. But Ennis can either be very funny or very dark, and I'm glad he took the dark approach this time around.
Yeah, this was indeed very dark and not the joke of a show on HBO. This was seriously disturbing while that show just takes two very dark characters, Peacemaker and Vigilante, and makes two Deadpools out of them. Admittedly Cena is decent at his job but the other guy is just bad. I didn't like the art here and Ennis has his usual eye-rolling rantings but in terms of character development, he sold Peacemaker as a very disturbed individual with a very weird definition of peace, something the show doesn't manage to do at all. Honestly, James Gunn's star has started to fall some time ago, he's just not funny anymore, DC shouldn't have attached themselves to him at this point in his career.
Did not read any story of Peacemaker, but isn't his characteristic extremely different from the one on HBO MAX? Both characters are antihero and with a tragic childhood, but completely different feelings I got when I was reading the book and watching the show.
Just in the half. Not good not bad.
