Creature Commandos is the latest animation from DC that will bring there monster squad to life. The most recent trailer brought us closer the characters. Thart said many noticed an Easter Egg spotted when they started talking about the Bride.

In the trailer we can see looking at the magazine young love. Not much to her satisfaction but she is checking out. The comic isn’t just a placement but a call back. Young Love is a play on Young Romance a successful magazine.

[Originally published by the magazine publisher Crestwood/Prize beginning in 1949, Young Love was introduced as an attempt to capitalize on the success of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s massively successful Young Romance. The spinoff title ran successfully throughout the 1950s and 1960s, before Crestwood/Prize sold their catalogue of comic titles to DC. The publisher then carried the torch of Young Love for almost fifteen years, before shuttering the series in 1977. In that time, a number of beloved creators were involved with the series, including John Romita, Sr., Robert Kanigher, Mike Sekowsky, Gene Colan, and Barbara Friedlander. More recently, stories from Young Love have been reprinted in facsimiles, and the title inspired the 2017 Halloween-themed one-shot Young Monsters in Love (which, coincidentally, starred The Bride on its cover).

Just based on the snippet from the Creature Commandos trailer, it appears as if the in-universe DCU version of Young Love is more in line with a tabloid magazine. Either way, the inclusion of it in the series could have some interesting implications — for starters, it could allude to The Bride’s complicated romance with Eric Frankenstein (David Harbour). The Easter egg also illustrates the breadth of the DCU as a whole, with the ability to homage or include the publisher’s titles that aren’t just part of the superhero space. The modern acknowledgment of classic romance comics has been few and far between across the industry, outside of the enduring popularity of romance heroine-turned-superhero Patsy Walker / Hellcat.]

So if this Easter Egg goes that far back imagine what else lies waiting in the show.
