First two episodes have dropped and it pretty much slaps.
Following the continuity of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, the Creature Commandos are Amanda Waller's replacement Suicide Squad.
She's told she can't recuit people anymore, so she recruits monsters instead.
Based on the characters from Weird War Tales #93 in 1980:
Frankenstein's Monster, a vampire, and the Wolf Man killing Nazis in WWII. They were later joined by a gorgon.
The animated series updates the lineup... Frankenstein's Monster, Bride of Frankenstein, Weasel (from The Suicide Squad), Doctor Phosphorus (1st appearance Detective Comics #469), G.I. Robot (1st appearance Star Spangled War Stories #101), and mermaid, Dr. Nina Mazursky (1st appearance Flashpoint: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown #1).
Great start and I can already tell 7 episodes aren't going to be enough, so looking forward to seeing these characters in future seasons and/or live action.
I've read other folks though the first episode didn't do enough but they were hooked by the second, but I thought it was a nice way to establish things before kicking off the core of the show.
Also one time reminder we're doing weekly discussion threads over in !dcstudios@lemmy.world , https://lemmy.world/post/22780551
