‘X-Men ’97’ so far has been widely successful. The show was praised for its authenticity and similarities to the original show while keeping up with the current sensibilities and storytelling techniques as well as animation.
Ever since the first episode aired, the show received consistently high ratings. It’s been already renewed for season 2, and season 3 is currently in the plans with Marvel execs likely to keep it going for as long as possible.
It’s truly been a breath of fresh air, especially after a series of flops for the studio, which prompted them to change their whole strategy and turn toward more animated content in the future. People seem to like it, and it seems to be impervious to superhero fatigue, surprisingly James Gunn agrees with it.

Chapter One of James Gunn's new cinematic DC Comics universe is titled "Gods and Monsters." This phrase goes back to a line of dialogue from Dr. Septimus Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger) in James Whale's "Bride of Frankenstein." How fitting then that "Gods and Monsters" kicks off with a Frankenstein-inspired animated TV series: "Creature Commandos."
The premise is simple: A World War II comic in the vein of Marvel's "Sergeant Fury and his Howling Commandos" but with Universal Horror monsters. The original line-up was Lieutenant Matthew Shrieve (a normal human team leader), Sergeant Vincent Velcoro (a vampire), Private Lucky Taylor (a Frankenstein-ian homunculus), Private Warren Griffith (a werewolf), and team medic Dr. Myrra Rhodes (a Medusa-esque Gorgon).
The team was created by legendary writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Pat Broderick; the Creature Commandos debuted in 1980's "Weird War Tales" #93. Now, an updated version of the team will make it...

We’ve lost count of how many times we wrote about Dceu ending and Dcu kicking off to replace it soon. We are all very familiar with the situation, and right now, we can only wait to see what Dcu has in store for us once Dceu releases the last two movies on its slate; ‘Blue Beetle,’ which is only a few days away, and ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ which will be released this December. In 2024, we can expect an Elseworlds movie ‘Joker: Folie à Deux.’ But, before Dcu kicks off with ‘Superman: Legacy’ in 2025, the first of many projects that Gunn announced earlier this year, ‘Creature Commandos,’ will also premiere in 2024.
The upcoming animated series will depict the homonymous team of superhumans, which first appeared in the source material in ‘Weird War Tales’ #93, by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick, in November 1980. The team consists of a human team leader,...

Being someone who’s covered conventions of varying sizes around southeast Michigan for the past five years, I’ve been clamoring for another big event aimed at the comic book crowd to come to Detroit. Like many of you, I feel that just one hasn’t been enough, and though the small and mid-sized shows are certainly lots of fun, there’s just nothing like a sprawling showroom floor populated by vendors, writers, artists and healthy amount of celebrities.
Well, soon enough, that’s going to change once the first ever Michigan Comic Con arrives in downtown Detroit this August, which is sure to satisfy our geeky needs for the summertime. And seeing as how it’s brought to us by the same folks behind Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Indiana and Atlanta Comic Cons, I think it’s safe to say we’re all in for a weekend to remember.
