Peacemaker By Kupperberg & Smith | The Comics That Inspired the James Gunn Series | Back Issue Review Show #788
He loves peace so much he's willing to kill for it (a LOT)!
In this episode, Joe and Matt dive into the madness of Paul Kupperberg and Tod Smith’s 1988 Peacemaker miniseries from DC Comics, exploring where James Gunn may have found inspiration for John Cena’s tragic character. And hey—if you thought your dad was bad, just wait until you meet Chris Smith’s old man! In Part One, the Nerds discuss the first two issues because FOUR comics full of Nazi-daddy trauma is too much for one episode. Stay tuned for Part Two!
