Shoooweeee this was a fun little romp. A nice T.V. show tie-in mini series, and definitely what you’d expect from the Peacemaker’s Adrian Chase. Stupid, laugh out loud funny and crazy as hell. (Single issues)

September 19, 2025Tying in with the best geek TV of the moment*, and with James Gunn credited, vaguely, as 'story consultant', the two stories here take place firmly in the world of the show. Or at least I assume they do, I don't think I've read anything with the non-cowboy Vigilante since the Alan Moore issues and DC must have reset the continuity a dozen times since then. Anyway, this feels a lot like the questionable neurodiversity representation of screen Adrian, overly literal and a bit clueless, which only makes him more insanely dangerous, so that when Peacemaker fobs him off with a voicemail he interprets it as a hurried warning and goes after a robot conspiracy he's more or less invented from whole cloth, eventually sending him up against two crime lords who were genuinely trying to go straight. It's all delightfully ridiculous to start with, and ever more so as it goes along.
In the other half of the comic, Chris Smith** comes in shouting "Eat peace, motherfuckers!" while punching right through the face of a Nazi lizard, so you know there's the same commitment to being at once gloriously stupid and quietly smart which the programme does so well. But the story of the nice relaxing holiday he takes after that felt, for me, a little thin next to the Vigilante stuff. Though not without its laughs, for sure, especially given the prominent role for Eagley taken in conjunction with the guy I know who reckons he could beat an eagle in a fight.
*And it's not even close.
**Nobody except me seems sufficiently amused that this is also the name of the new head of Cambridge University.

A fun tie-in to the show Peacemaker that puts Vigilante front and centre. The story is as zany as the show and the dialogue is just as edge-lord/ cringe as the show but it has the charm. The second story centred on Peacemaker is fun and pushes the point of his sexuality a lot.
Mitch Gerads provides the initial art and as always it’s great.

This was SO fun after finishing Peacemaker and needing some new content.
This comic explores parallel plots for the anti-heroes Vigilante and Peacemaker (although the focus of Peacemaker's section is supposed to be on Eagly, but let's be honest... they're a duo). With the story supervision/consult of James Gunn, the tone and personality is mostly kept for these characters with their TV show adaptation versions.
The art is outstanding. Although each section has their own artist (Vigilante is illustrated by Mitch Gerads, and Eagly by Matteo Lolli), I might be biased when I say I admired more Gerard's art. Not because the characters had the same faces as the actors (sometimes it's a bit scary), but because the pencil and watercolour mix is usually a great choice. I can also see some details that break the watercolour line, I just love the colour choice and anatomy.
As for the writing, it is not easy to explore Vigilante's psychology. In my opinion, this comic might've leaned on a reading on him being autistic, when part of the beauty of the psychology is being unsure. I interpret Adrian as autistic too, but sometimes "songs heard are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter." And why did I quote Keats' "Ode to a Grecian Urn" out of the blue? Because a detail I absolutely adored is the writing and character design through speech. It is not an easy task to make each character distinguishable, and although most of the work goes to visual design on a comic, the personality is distinctive with how they speak, and most importantly, how they process information. Although I am aware that, these details being all over different characters, it is probably Seeley's style to mention other pieces of media, I still love that detail. Li'L mentions plot for films that already exist, A24 (although this isn't as surprising or innovative, after all it's a brand), but then Peacemaker mentions The Lord of the Flies? And he's replied with "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson? And the cyborg resembles Terminator. I'm sure that, in this sea of references, I might have missed many. The League of Assassins is not missed tho! Although that's just context from the DC universe, a bit random to just put that there.
I want to focus now on the section on Vigilante's plot, because that's the one that surprised me more (and I think Seeley actually wanted to write on Adrian, instead of Eagly). I already mentioned Adrian is obviously autistic here. He mentions many times (I don't get why it is repeated like 3 times) that Adrian doesn't understand people. We can tell. But he's so out of the blue it's funny. The writing does an amazing job at handling that thin like/dislike line for the character. Because you can't agree with Adrian, he's just crazy and would do better medicated or in therapy (as much as I love him, he probably needs meds); but you can't help but liking him. He's honest, authentic, and tries hard, which is something many people respect, me included. After all, all he does is for his friend Chris. Even so, I have to admit that Adrian probably would do all the violence and poor decisions if he wasn't friends with Chris. It's also something we cannot really know. If we take the TV show and the other-dimension Adrian, he seems like a better person, thinking for himself, more caring, and even self-sacrificing for people he doesn't know, albeit still weird. In my opinion, Chris has been a bad influence for him, which resulted in a sort of cognitive/personality inheritance. Chris is first to mention sex at first chance, and Adrian just knows a lot, but it's not his first though (as it can be seen with his relationship with the girl who flirts with him).
On another line, and I cannot ignore this point, the sex mentions become boring. I get the critique/irony through exaggeration, and after all, Chris is a parody of the patriot, which includes masculine stereotypes. Chris might have good intentions, the medium and the words are not right. What I do not like is that the story follows this parody, but does not maintain it at the end. If you want to build something, unless it's a key element of your critique, you can't just drop it at the end. Both anti-heroes are rewarded with, guess what, sex. STOP IT, we just read a fight at a condom factory while Vigilante mentions knowing the flavour of the condoms and Chris criticises words like "delayed gratification" being "definitely a sex thing." We get it, PLEASE we get it. It made me drop the final star from the rating, and I hate it because it's been years since I've laughed so hard at any story (film, show, book, comic...). It felt like trying to keep the tone from the show, but overdoing it. Or maybe I'm a puritan, pick your venom.

Chaotic from the jump, this kicks off with a story about Adrian hunting down some mobsters who he thinks kidnapped Chris and also being very #relatable in terms of autism (I know Adrian isn't technically canonically autistic but I and many others think he is and based on what I've read it seems like James Gunn does consider Adrian to be autistic or in some way neurodivergent but doesn't feel comfortable confirming it due to, you know, the murders), especially when he literally convinces himself he must be some sort of robot. Adrian Chase I love you SO much. It was fun to see Cannon and Sabre, though I prefer Savant and Creote in terms of gay guys who kill people, and I'm frankly really impressed with how well both this double feature and Peacemaker Tries Hard! capture the feeling of the show and balance chaos, gore, horniness, and genuinely well-done emotional moments.
The Peacemaker story was also fun, and it's always nice to see Eagly...claw? some League of Assassins ass. Although I feel like filming a porno in your superhero costume may draw unwanted attention to your real-life identity? Ah, whatever. I'm sure Chris can handle it.
Also it's really funny to be that both Chris and Adrian get stabbed and then use the weapon stabbed into them to stab someone else. Truly sharing a singular brain cell.

Such a good comic!
Vigilante and Peacemaker are some of my favourite characters - though for very different reasons. Of course, I love the TV show and I'm sad that we aren't getting any more seasons, but this did fill the Peacemaker and Vig sized hole in my heart.
I preferred the art style in the first comic (Vigilante's) because the characters looked like their actors rather than cartoonised, but that is a style preference I have and not at all a criticism of the artwork.
Vigilante's comic lets you see more into how he thinks and operates. I gotta say, I adore him! I also liked the additional hand-written notes with Vig's hero tips and the fact that they were written by Freddie Stroma (Vig's actor in the TV show). In Vig's thought bubbles / narration, I could really feel the character shine through true to form.
It made me sad how Peacemaker treats poor Vig. Vig deserve a friend who actually likes him!
The Peacemaker comic was cool. Lots of gore and violence (just like Vig's comic).

Shout out Clare for being the first friend to ever buy me a comic book for my birthday that wasn’t premeditated. Other friends who follow me on Goodreads, please take note. Clare gets 5 stars. This comic, less stars. I expect more from the writer of Local Man and the artist behind Strange Adventure. This was playful but way too aggro-sexual. The characterization of Vigilante felt off vs especially season 2 of the show. Sort of the way an animated tv show of a popular movie felt in the early 2000s. Still a lot of charm and I enjoyed the Peacemaker side story a lot more but this was generally a miss. Felt like mostly shock value and that’s not why I read comics.

Por supuesto que me encantó porque este es mi Vigilante, mi Adrian Chase. Ridículo, exagerado, cringe, violento y muy gracioso. Van 4 porque la segunda parte del recopilatorio es una historia de Peacemaker solo y me sonó medio tramposo, la verdad. Aunque tocan bastante el tema de su sexualidad, y eso estuvo bueno. Gracias, Fefu <3

The Vigilante story was pretty fun, a lot of the jokes landed and the premise was pretty nice. Mitch Gerads' art elevated it, it was gorgeous.
The Alaska holiday story with Peacemaker was shit though, aside from the first scene with reptiles. Nothing but a string of lazy sex jokes, which I don't mind, but they just weren't ever funny.

It was alright. The Eagly story had its funny moments and I liked that one a lot more. Vigilante’s story was messy and I didn’t like the art for it at all. Eagly’s saved it for me whereas Vigilante just kinda was meh. Not outstanding but enjoyable-ish

this is two stories in two halves: the Vigilante half is amazing, the Eagly half is... okay.

The Vigilante story was pretty stupid in a bad way. Oddly disjunct.
The Eagly story was highly entertaining.
Both get an A+ for graphic violence
