GREG WEISMAN INVITES FANS BACK TO 1997!
“For me, this is a story thirty years in the making. One I’ve been longing to tell,” said writer Greg Weisman. “So longtime fans are seriously not going to want to miss this. At the same time, it’s also a great place for new readers who know nothing about Gargoyles to jump aboard. We’re making sure that everything you need to know is right there on the page. Your Gargoyles addiction begins here and now!”
As each season of the original show progressed in relative real time, then despite being released way later, each comics phase picks up from that point and continues on, the Gargoyles saga has reached the pivotal era of 1997. Fans are invited to flash back in time to the electrifying fun of the 1990s and the brilliant energy that cartoons of that era brought to the table, with Gargoyles first and foremost in its class.
The titular Gargoyles only have eggs every 20 years, and the Manhattan Clan at the center of the saga have been keeping care of one playfully nicknamed “Egwardo.” The only problem is — it’s been stolen by arch-enemy Demona! As the Defenders of the Night try desperately to track down the egg, they’re also faced with an awakened ancient, all-powerful evil with a vendetta against the entire world. All that and more can be expected each and every month in this new blockbuster series.
Following an all-star team of incredible illustrators like George Kambadais, Drew Moss, Ciro Cangialosi, Pasquale Qualano, and even peers from the era of the show Frank Paur and Tad Stones, this new series brings the gregarious Gerardo Gambone to the forefront as Weisman’s latest collaborator. The two are joined by colorist Robby Bevard and letterer Jeff Eckleberry as well.
To match the thrilling tales from Weisman and Gambone inside the book, longtime Gargoyles comics editor Nate Cosby has assembled a squad of superstar artists for jaw-dropping covers featuring everyone’s favorite characters. Meghan Hetrick and Sebastian Piriz are joined by aforementioned returning franchise artists Drew Moss and Frank Paur.
Editor Nate Cosby added, “Welcome to the first new ongoing Gargoyles series in years! It’s a new day (night?) for our heroes. New characters, new stakes, new adventures! If you’ve ever been Gargoyles-curious, thid is the perfect jumping-on point to be introduced to the Manhattan Clan. And if you’re a Day One fan, Greg Weisman’s got you… he’s beautifully threading centuries of Gargoyles lore through this new tale, and grounding the emotional stakes for Goliath and all of his brethren!”
Fans can also ask their Local Comic Shop about the premium mystery blind bags, which offer three copies of the issue featuring limited edition and exclusive variations on the cover pieces like lineart, foil and metal variants, and more surprises.
