DC's new Peacemaker comic takes place in the universe of the show – and James Gunn was its story consultant

Peacemaker and Eagly.

DC has revealed new art for its upcoming five-issue DC Black Label limited series based on the hit Peacemaker TV show, as well as confirming that James Gunn served as a story consultant for the new series.

Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1 is published in March and features two new stories featuring the morally-ambiguous (to say the least) antihero, his avian chum Eagly, and fellow "hero" Vigilante. The first story 'Peaceful Vacation' is written by Rex Ogle and illustrated by artists Matteo Lolli and John Kalisz. In the story, Eagly and Peacemaker head to Alaska for a vacation, only for their flight to be hijacked. Can the deadly duo save the day?

While Peacemaker and Eagly are dealing with all that, Vigilante becomes convinced that they've been kidnapped by the Controller in 'A Time for Fables' by writer Tim Seeley and artist Mitch Gerads. Cue "big trouble for the criminals of Evergreen, with knives, axes, and gore galore," according to DC's official synopsis.

Each issue of the series will also include "How to Be A Super-Hero" diary entries from Vigilante written by Freddie Stroma – the actor who plays the character in the streaming show. DC has also confirmed that the series takes place within the continuity of the show, which returns for its second season in August.
