In this edgy DC animated series, a secret team of incarcerated monsters is the last resort for missions deemed too dangerous for humans.

Critics Consensus

Bearing writer James Gunn's trademark penchant for kooky humor and lovable characters, Creature Commandos marks an auspicious debut for the DCU.

For anyone who has some stamina left for metahuman fare, it’ll likely do something truly remarkable: leave them eager for whatever comes next.

Now he’s at it again with Creature Commandos, and while the third time isn’t exactly the charm, its easy-going, character-first approach to another story about incarcerated criminals thrust together to save the world largely works to its advantage.

... A fun, endearing start to a new cinematic universe that offers gore, thrills, laughs, and emotions galore.

As a project that’s announcing Gunn’s new vision for the DC Universe, Creature Commandos feels like a tired formula rather than a bold new concept. And that’s a problem.

Neither a monstrous misfire, nor a monster hit. It’s a generally enjoyable animated series that, like Frankenstein’s monster, feels cobbled together from multiple parts.

While its scale and scope make for a modest intro to the new DCU, Creature Commandos still delivers a devilishly entertaining first impression.

Creature Commandos is a fantastic start to the DCU, with brutal action, dark humour, and surprisingly emotional storytelling. The characters are unique, the animation is gorgeous, and James Gunn delivers another great mix of heart and chaos. A refreshing take on DC’s darker side!

A whole lot of nothing, shocking stories for no reason, it’s the James Gunn formula all over again

I loved the surprisingly adult edginess as well as how quickly you connect to some of the characters. That being said, Eric Frankenstein, G.I. Robot, and Rick Flag were disappointing. The first, radically changed from the comics and the other two just came off as flat. That being said, everything else was top quality. So the strengths greatly outweigh the couple of mishandled characters, hence the high score.
