The first couple of episodes of James Guns new series Creature Commandos are up and while they werent bad, I'm not sure it was a good choice for rebooting the DCU unless this is a sign of what James Guns vision of the DCU is going to be - irreverent, violent, frenetic and definitely not catering to the "general audience".
Creatures Commandos is a "secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions" and featuring both Amanda Waller and Richard Flag Senior is a direct sequel to both Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, referencing events from both.
I think that Creature Commandos is far too much like its predecessors - the mission to Pokolistan parallels the mission to Corto Maltese, The Bride has the sass of Harley and GI Robot essentially has the same shtick as John Cenas Peacemaker, so while those who enjoyed Peacemaker will enjoy this, it doesnt really show much range (yet). Not sure what nicking 'Borat' jokes was about either.
That said Indira Varma is excellent and the other characters do have clear personalities, even if the male members (Weasel, Phosphorus and GI Robot) are a largely chaotic atm, leaving the females (The Bride and Nina) to be the rational foundation that the viewers can engage with. Its gonna be interesting to see where this goes ...
