Peanut Butter

A five-issue miniseries from Dynamite (2016–2019), Peanut Butter is a darkly comedic crime saga centered on a hapless hitman whose code name—and the titular sandwich spread—becomes his strange, sticky obsession. The series, written by Richard Rivera with art by Mike Deodato Jr., blends noir tension with absurdist humor as its protagonist navigates a world of double-crosses and messy violence. It stands out for its offbeat premise and Deodato’s moody, cinematic visuals, offering a brief but memorable detour from superhero fare.
