Betrayed, bleeding, and broken, Peacemaker drags his finely toned body to a local watering hole where he can existentially question his violent pursuit of peace from the safety of a barstool. But his wallowing is short-lived. He’s going to get his dog back…but he’s going to need some help. Lucky for Peacemaker, his parole officer, Richard, has a colorful costumed past…
Pugh's work in this issue is nothing to sneeze at, either. A barstool never felt so lonely. The little details, like a bloody handprint or a tampon plug (you'll get it) are a nice touch, as well as the flavor text accompanying some of the heaviest hits in the issue. “Everybody cries, dammit!” is probably the best panel in the issue. They sure do, Peacemaker, they sure do. Read Full Review
Brutal, hilarious, and often brutally hilarious, Peacemaker Tries Hard! #3 is drenched with action and humor. Although this book slows the story's pace to a crawl, it is also some of the most fun I've had reading in a long time. The creative team is clearly firing on all cylinders as humor permeates nearly every sequence with each line or dialogue or panel of artwork. That's not to say that it's all fun and games, as Starks' dark opening sequence presents a theme for the story to follow. However, this issue is at its best when finding the perfect marriage between action and comedy. Read Full Review
This story has shades of John Wick and other "don't mess with a man's dog stories, but with an absurdist edge that could only come from the mind of Kyle Starks. It's a great follow-up to the work Gunn did with Peacemaker. Read Full Review
There are a couple of instances in which tall panels result in a confusion reading order, but overall Peacemaker Tries Hard! continues to present itself in outstanding fashion with some of the most expressive characters in DC Comics' current line. Read Full Review
This series continues to be exciting and funny at the same time.
Another pretty enjoyable issue was we get to the halfway point of this miniseries. Despite some of the more "forced" humor I mentioned in my review of the first issue being present, I think this run has found its stride. Hopefully the next issue doesn't prove me wrong, as I've been really enjoying this so far.
