Doctor Strange and The Creature Commandos

 

I really enjoyed the Disney+ Werewolf by Night special, but I had to think that once again, Marvel has beaten DC to the punch in bringing the horror corner of its universe to the screen.  The Creature Commandos recently made an fun animated appearance, and I'd love to see a version of them in live action.  Then again, they are just the type of obscure, oddball characters that James Gunn seems to like to work with, so maybe there's a chance now that he's calling the DCU shots.

Someone has to beat Bob Greenwade to the punch. Might as well be me.

Dr. Strange: "Hair snakes! Why did it have to be hair snakes?"

I can hardly wait to see tomorrow's much-promised cover. :-)

Who knows? Maybe there will be a Creature Commandos special for Halloween in one of the upcoming years.

I also enjoyed the Werewolf by Night special, especially the film noir styling, though I had to deal with distractions when I watched it so I think I'll have to watch it again.

@Cary: I would not have thought of that line at all. My thoughts would run more along the direction of saying that Stephen needed some help to get a head.

Now if Harrison Ford had played Nick Fury (as the one-eyed, cigar-smoking Caucasian veteran of World War II), he probably would have said: "Flerkens! Why did it have to be flerkens?"

Another great Halloween cover Ross! Reminds me of the classic Ray Harryhausen movies. Doctor Strange and the Commandos have really run into a snarl. But I'm sure this Medusa will show them a rockin' good time!

Did anyone bring a mirror?

Brilliant pun!

Ross said...

Thank you Ken and Tony!

@Ken Roskos: That Glaswegian gallowglass who works, part-time, for the Suicide Squad tried to bring them one. But, he got hijacked by Per Degaton. ;-)
