Comics have been around a long time now. Some of the original characters are closing in on eighty years of history, if not longer. The ones who have stuck around have, as a rule, have their histories rewritten, their personalities and motivations changed. Black Adam’s history began with his first appearance back in 1945, and…
The season finale of the insane ride that has been Peacemaker is here. There have been all sorts of twists and turns and few losses along the way. Now the team, and they’re finally starting to act like one, comes together to try and end the menace of the Butterfly invasion.

Now things are building up to the final confrontation, and it’s getting ugly.
John Cena’s Peacemaker was an odd but entertaining part of 2021’s The Suicide Squad. Apparently writer/director James Gunn thought so too, creating a spinoff series for the character, despite his apparent death near the end of the movie. Now back and with a team of misfits on a special mission we’re learning very little about, Peacemaker is out of his depth and flailing around in “Best Friends for Never,” his show’s second episode.
Although he seemingly died at the end of the movie, no one dies forever in comics, and that includes the comic book-based movies. Now Cena is back as Peacemaker in an 8 episode run on HBO Max, written and directed by James Gunn (Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy). The chaos starts off with “A Whole New Whirled.”
