The New GARGOYLES Comic Book Series Gets a Collection of Cover Art and Details
Disney's Gargoyles is coming back as a comic book series thanks to Dynamite Entertainment and franchise creator Greg Weisman, who is returning to write the series. The comic series will pick up after the events of Season 2 and will ignore the third season of the animated series.
We still don’t have any story details to share, but we do have six comic book covers for the new series for you to check out below that were created by various talented artists. The art below comes from David Nakayama, Amanda Conner, Lucio Parrillo, Lesley "Leirix" Li, Jae Lee, and Tony Fleecs.
Weisman is working on the comic with illustrator George Kambadais in reintroducing the Gargoyle Clan which includes Goliath, Demona, Angela, Elisa, Brooklym, Broadway, Lexington, Bronx, and a couple new characters.
Weisman said: "I literally can't articulate how thrilled I am to be writing Gargoyles stories again, both for returning fans and newcomers. It's just a joy to be exploring a world populated by Goliath, the entire Manhattan Clan, all their friends, and every single one of their enemies. I've been wanting to get back to these characters for some time now and having this opportunity rocks! (Pun intended)."
Kambadais added: "I still remember waking up all excited, flustered even, every Saturday and Sunday morning to catch the next episodes. I just loved them. Goliath was the coolest dude and the rest of the clan were SO... MUCH... FUN."
Editor Nate Cosby went on to say: "Gargoyles was a huge influence on me," shared editor Nate Cosby. "It's incredible that I get to help tell new stories about these characters that I love, written by the person that created them. Maintaining Greg's vision of this world is a responsibility and an honor that I take seriously. New readers and longtime fans are going to be absolutely thrilled by what Greg, George and Jeff have in store."
One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled in the old world and the "Age of Gargoyles." By day, these beings were solid stone, but came alive at night as powerful warriors. At least until they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect – frozen in stone by a spell for a thousand years. Until today in modern Manhattan, they have risen again to become Defenders of the Night!
The first issue of the comic will debut on December 7th. We’ll keep you updated on any new developments in regard to the comic series. I’m just curious about learning what the story will be!
