James Gunn has taken over DC, and though he is set to create an overarching universe that will contain films, TV shows, and video games — the famed creator is also set to serve as a story consultant for a brand-new "Peacemaker" comic series.

Peacemaker was brought to life by Gunn in his DC film, "The Suicide Squad," with the hilarious and violent hero being portrayed by WWE legend John Cena. The popularity of the character led to a solo series on Max, aptly titled, "Peacemaker."

The series is set to return for a second season, but now fans will get to see the characters brought to life in a brand-new original story for DC Comics.
A new "double-feature" comic series is set to be released, which follows Eagly, Peacemaker, and the beloved Vigilante.

According to a release on the new series:
"Today DC revealed the artwork and covers for 'Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature!' This five-issue DC Black Label limited series is inspired by DC Studios' James Gunn's visionary Peacemaker series on Max and features two original stories: one spotlighting Peacemaker and his avian sidekick Eagly, and one his crime-fighting friend Adrian Chase, a.k.a. Vigilante.
Gunn also serves as story consultant for the series, which debuts at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on March 26.
In 'Peaceful Vacation,' writer Rex Ogle and artists Matteo Lolli and John Kalisz take Eagly and Chris Smith (a.k.a. Peacemaker) to the great outdoors of Alaska for some well-deserved rest and relaxation from doling out peace in their own over-the-top style. But when their trip is interrupted by a group of masked hijackers (and an annoying flight attendant), it's up to a certain eagle and his pet human to save the day."

The new double will be released at local comic shops and digital retailers on March 26. The new series is also inspired by Gunn's "Peacemaker" series, but they are not tie-in stories that will bridge the gap of the new series.
The series writers and artists are as follows:
Eagly/Peacemaker in "Peaceful Vacation," written by Rex Ogle, with art by Matteo Lolli and John Kalisz.
Vigilante in "A Time for Fables," written by Tim Seeley, art by Mitch Gerads
