![]() As much as this Charlie twist is weirdly true to DC’s multiple intelligent ape villains like Gorilla Grodd and Monsieur Mallah (though Charlie is neither of them), it primarily carries the important revelation that Butterflies aren’t limited to possessing human hosts. In a strange, but delightfully funny twist, the plant is run by a Butterfly-empowered gorilla as well, that being Charlie, the silverback gorilla that the previous episode revealed went missing from the local zoo. must fend off waves of attacking Butterflies with their weapons. This once again delivers a higher quantity of action for this episode, as Chris and co. As Peacemaker previously hinted, there are actually quite a lot of Butterflies all around the DCEU’s Earth at this point! Does this mean that the world is in big trouble, or is something greater at work here?įor now, the show’s protagonists seem to be assuming the worst, something not helped by the Butterflies attacking them on sight. Not only that, but the entire plant seems to be dedicated to preparing the mysterious amber liquid that the Butterflies consume, essentially serving as the Butterflies’ distribution hub for the entire U.S. What initially begins as a routine investigation quickly heats up as well, after Chris activates X-Ray Vision in his latest helmet, only to discover that every employee at the factory is a Butterfly. Regardless, before that can be sorted out, the team discovers a lead that points them to a nearby bottling factory, where Chris’ late hook-up, Annie Sturphausen supposedly worked. Is Adebayo being Amanda Waller’s daughter something that will eventually drive a wedge between her and Chris, not to mention the rest of the team, once the truth comes out? I have to say, the bond being formed between Chris and Adebayo is pretty great, especially with Adebayo’s secret mission to frame Chris with a fake diary seemingly hanging over her head. Adebayo theorizes (no doubt correctly) that Chris is simply being a dick as a defense mechanism, and that if he simply turns that off and acts like a regular person, he would do a better job of winning friends. One character interaction that comes to a surprising head in this episode is Chris’ apparent animosity toward Economos, after Adebayo tips Chris off that Economos doesn’t like Chris’ disparaging comments, particularly about his beard. ![]() This, paired with the revelation that Murn is a Butterfly, would appear to lead into the next major threat facing Peacemaker’s eponymous anti-hero and his crew. “Monkey Dory” sees the team undertake another comical mission, one with a truly outrageous payoff, while Detective Song receives intel that would suggest Auggie is innocent of the crimes he’s been framed for. Peacemaker’s middle chapter syndrome improved a bit during the series’ fifth episode, one that still primarily revolves around team dialogue and character growth, though at least the show’s pacing and excitement has picked up again. With Monsieur Mallah at his side, Peacemaker breaks into the secret base of General Immortus to steal some super-villain DNA.NOTE: Full spoilers for this episode of, “Peacemaker” are present in this review The Brain has given Peacemaker no choice but to complete a dangerous mission on his behalf, but he won’t have to kick bad-guy butt on his own. ![]() $4.99 US | 32 pages | 2 of 6 | (all covers are card stock) PEACEMAKER TRIES HARD! #2 Written by KYLE STARKS So in other words, genius is all around…enjoy!
