Peacemaker By Kupperberg & Smith Part 2 | The Comics That Inspired the James Gunn Series | Back Issue Show #790
Can Peacemaker get his shiz together long enough to defeat Doctor Stereotype?!
In this episode, Joe and Matt conclude their 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. Will Doctor Tzin-Tzin succeed in... *checks notes* ...blowing up Russia? Will Chris Smith's Ghost Dad ever shut up?! In Part Two, the Nerds discuss the final two issues because FOUR comics full of Nazi-daddy trauma is too much for one episode!
