Creature Commandos Review: The DCU Breaks New Ground With James Gunn's High-Octane Animated Monster Series

Read our review of Creature Commandos.

Creature Commandos is the first official DCU project to be released under that banner, and James Gunn has started things strong with a hilarious animated show aimed at a mature audience. While Creature Commandos introduces several lesser-known characters from DC Comics, Gunn has proven his strength at turning obscure characters into fan favorites, and he does the same here.

As always, Gunn's strengths appear in the music selection and the economical and strong writing. On top of this, the voice actors give a lot of personality to each character, making them distinct, and the animation for the show is a beautiful style that matches the monsters and storytelling. Creature Commandos Episode 2 Establishes A Strong Pattern For Season 1 Close &#x2715 Remove Ads While episode 1 sets up the overall plot and delivers some quick introductions to the monsters that form the team, episode 2 takes some huge steps in the right direction for the quality, engagement, and excitement of the show. With some time to interact, the team is beginning to establish themselves and connections between the members are beginning to be formed.

Gunn's writing provides an incredible foundation for both sides of this story to be told simultaneously. The result is an incredibly articulate and exciting episode that does more in 20 minutes than many TV shows accomplish in an entire season. In addition, there are important beats delivered by other characters, like Flag, Doctor Phosphorous , and Nina . This immediately heightens the stakes and takes the series from something fun and irreverent to really worth watching.
