Interview: David Dastmalchian - to talk DC Horror Presents: Creature Commandos #1 and DC Horror Presents… #1

1. David, thanks for chatting with us about Creature Commandos! With multiple Count Crowley titles under your belt and a busy spooky season up ahead with even more comics, tell us: how’d you get attached to this project?
2. Jesús Hervás’ art is so pulpy, what is it about his work you dig the most for this series?
3. It’s rude of us to ask, but do you have a favorite monster in the commandos now that you’ve scripted a few issues?
4. This is an eclectic bunch of monsters, were there any monster types you wanted to fit in, but maybe are saving for later?
5. We understand Zatanna will be popping up in this series! Are you a Zatanna fan, and can you tease how she fits into this tale?
6. Gotcha question: what are your feelings on Bauhaus?
7. You have the unique pleasure of BEING a Suicide Squad member, how might you describe the differences between that team and this one?
8. As an actor and writer, do you read your dialogue out loud to get a feel for each character?
9. No spoilers here, but do you have a favorite moment in Creature Commandos and if so, which issue does it take place in?
10. If a reader wanted to brush up on any horror classics for this series - comics or otherwise - would you recommend any?
11. You also have a story coming up in the DC Horror Presents anthology! What can you tell us about that?
