Peacemaker Season 2 was a mixed bag for me. While it had some great action, comedy and heart, like the first season, it also has some huge missteps. The pacing was all over the place, and the series kind of ended on a whimper with all of the big moments in the penultimate episode. Plus, having the first DCU follow up to the family friendly Superman feature an X-rated orgy scene was a head-scratchingly bad decision in my opinion. The cliffhanger that the show was left on was interesting, but who knows when it will be resolved?
That's why I'm glad I still don't have streaming TV.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note maybe Sonic the Hedgehog and He-Man could share a cover remeninsing about when they were toys before becoming legends.
ReplyDeletePreferably while taking on the Legion of Doom's Toyman!
DeleteIf Peacemaker is so hot to make war on weapons-makers, he should try invading the planet Qward!
ReplyDeleteThis would also be a good time for Tintin (from STF #5074) to return the Mark One armor "in one piece."
DeleteAt the very least, he could also keep the Sub-mariner from making sushi out of Juan "the Man-Fish" Vallambrosa (from SEA DEVILS, v.1/#22 circa 1965). I can just see Namor's word balloon, now.
ReplyDelete"You were the inspiration for that insipid cinematic incarnation of me? Now, you will know why I'm called Prince of the Blood...as I shed yours!"
On another note, although I know you probably have the next few days' worth of covers planned out, perhaps you could do a tribute to Sam Kieth, who passed away this past weekend. Perhaps The Maxx meets DC 's The Sandman.
ReplyDeleteAnd, maybe someday down the line, you could do a homage cover to Chuck Norris? Like, say, his 1980's animated series self teaming up with Shang-Chi?"
ReplyDeleteChuck Norris has died. He is expected to make a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like one of those good-for-nothing deep-fake obituaries from Youtube. :P
DeleteTragically true.
DeleteRIP, Nicholas Brendon ("Xander Harris"): 1971-2026.
This made me wonder how Peacemaker would get on with the Punisher, so I checked; and sure enough, the last time we saw Peacemaker, the two were working closely together. They should meet here again some time, either continuing their partnership or having a falling-out.
ReplyDeleteSplit the difference; have them become allies of convenience against Judge Dredd!
DeleteOr, even better, the three of them teaming up against Checkmate!
DeleteIt could be (tentatively) titled: "Jurisdictional Dispute!"
DeleteLove the Gil Kane cover, basically anything Gil Kane, but when did Kane ever work on Peacemaker other than an occasional cover?
ReplyDeleteDigressing a little; how about Peacemaker turning out to be Red Skull's son, Kristoff Schmidt? That would certainly make for an interesting team-up with Capt. America! Especially the Sam Wilson version.
DeleteDon't see Tony being concerned much by the peace making tech he has.
ReplyDeleteIf those bullets are made of spent-kryptonite, he should be.
