‘Gargoyles’ Gets New First Issue, Ongoing Series From Dynamite

Gargoyles is going back to the start with Gargoyles #1 from Dynamite, an ongoing series continuing the continuation of the animated series from writer Greg Weisman and artist Gerardo Gambone.

“For me, this is a story thirty years in the making. One I’ve been longing to tell,” said Weisman via press release. “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!”

Added Editor Nate Cosby, “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, THIS 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!”

Pushing that this is a continuation of the comic book series that Dynamite has been putting out for the past few years, as well as a jumping on point for fans of the animated series, we’re moving the real-time action forward to 1997. Will they discuss the premiere of South Park, or go to see Titanic in theaters? Honestly, maybe.

More seriously, check out the covers and synopsis below, and Gargoyles #1 when it drops in shops in August.

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.
