Our Mission: helping you read comic books in order!

The DC Universe (DCU) officially starts now with the launch of the animated series Creature Commandos on the streaming service Max on December 5, 2024, with its first two episodes.

The animated show is the perfect time to take a closer look at the different iterations of the team since its creation in the '80s. And also, to take a look at some less-ordinary teams in the world of DC superheroes!


Creature Commandos,

Created by writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Pat Broderick, the Creature Commandos made their first appearance in Weird War Tales #93.

It all started in the Midwest, on a spring day in 1942, where Lieutenant Matthew Shrieve introduced the Creature Commandos to various generals, admirals, and senators as part of the mysterious Project "M"—one of those classic World War II government projects creating specialized soldiers.

The original team didn't last long, but the group came back later and found more success under the leadership of Frankenstein. Learn more about this back op teams and discover all their comic appearances with our guide!
