New Peacemaker Comic From The Boys Co-Creator Announced

By Adam Barnhardt

Now that Peacemaker has become a household name thanks to the popularity of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, the character is once again having a resurgence in the world of publishing. He's currently starring as a member of the Suicide Squad and come January, he'll have his own comic to lead from the wonderful mind of Garth Ennis.

Announced as part of DC's January 2022 solicitations, Ennis will write Peacemaker: Disturbing the Piece #1, a one-shot drawn by Garry Brown. According to the information released by the publisher, the book is a 40-page book featuring Peacemaker as he breaks down his tragic childhood with his psychiatrist.

Conveniently enough, the comic is expected to hit shelves at comic stores on January 25th, just two weeks after the character's show starts on HBO Max.

"Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero/supervillain/and world's biggest douchebag," Gunn explained when the live-action series was first announced. "I'm excited to expand The Suicide Squad and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake."

DC's full solicitation for the comic can be found below.
