A New Dimension of the DC Universe: Creature Commandos
James Gunn is redefining the DC Universe yet again. This time, he’s unleashing an army of monsters onto our screens. The first official entry in Gunn’s new DCU, the animated series "Creature Commandos," is set to premiere on Max this winter. The series nods to its roots in the ’80s comic series "Weird War Tales," where a monstrous military squad battled Nazis in World War II. Now, Gunn brings these legendary creatures into the modern era.
Prepare for Monster Mayhem
As anticipation builds for the release of "Creature Commandos," fans can already start showing their allegiance to Task Force M. The "M" standing for "monster," of course. DC has released an exciting range of merchandise dedicated to these oddball heroes. From Funko Pop vinyl figures to McFarlane Toys’ intricate Weasel statue, there are treasures for every collector. A tantalizing variety of T-shirts also pays homage to these beastly warriors. You can feast your eyes on this monstrous collection in our gallery.
