New Look at DC's CREATURE COMMANDOS Series Thanks To Comic-Con Exclusive Comic Book
San Diego Comic-Con is just two weeks away, and we are starting to see schedules and exclusives roll out ahead of the event. One such exclusive is a piece of art that features DC’s Creature Commandos, on the cover of a Comic Con-exclusive edition of Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1, which you can pick up at the show.
Similar covers reveal the DC Universe's new Superman movie logo and a Silver Age throwback cover for Absolute Power #1. The Frankenstein issue will also include the first appearance of the Creature Commandos in Weird War Tales #93.
James Gunn recently shared the first story details for DC Studios’ upcoming animated series, saying, “The new series picks up directly after our Peacemaker season one finale, which leaves Waller with her hands tied operationally, meaning that she’s no longer able to get away with putting human lives on the line to carry out her clandestine morally questionable missions. Instead, she recruits a ragtag band of misfits, not unlike the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.”
The filmmaker went on to say that the Creature Commandos roster is made up of “actual literal monsters, and I can’t wait for you to meet them. Creating this series has been one of the absolute joys of my life.”
The team consists of a human, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein's monster, and a gorgon. Gunn previously said that he believes that this series is "Some of the Best Stuff He's Ever Written.”
It was previously explained that the story for the project is so big that the only way it could be told is through animation because it would be way too expensive to pull off for live-action.
Many of these characters, “will also play the roles in live-action later on in the DCU,” and it was recently confirmed that some of these characters will appear in Superman.
The voice cast includes David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Sean Gunn as Weasel and GI Robot, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, with Steve Agee reprising his role as John Economos from Peacemaker.
Creature Commandos will premiere on Max in December 2024. Check out the art below.
