As Alexander Fox Xanatos begins his first magical lesson, we’re joined by the younger generation of the Gargoyles family: Greg Weisman’s children, Erin and Benny Weisman, along with Jennifer’s daughter, Stephanie Scoggins. Together, we discuss what it was like growing up in the home of the creator of the series and one of its most prominent fans. We explore the impact Gargoyles had on them, the impressions it left behind, and the other passions and interests the series may have inspired along the way.

As the countdown to “Hunter’s Moon” continues, we also dive into “Possession,” featuring the return of Coldstone and the introductions of Coldfire and Coldsteel. We discuss the structure and writing of trickster stories, and the performances of Bill Fagerbakke, Brigitte Bako, and Jeff Bennett as they work alongside Michael Dorn, C.C.H. Pounder, and Xander Berkeley to portray characters under magical possession. We also examine the collision of Othello with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and much more.

We also share our First Impressions of Gargoyles Meets Darkwing Duck #4. Spoilers run from 0:50 through 10:00.

Dynamite Comics And Disney Comics Announce Second "Gargoyles" Ongoing Series Slated For This August.

The age of Gargoyles continues!

Bleeding Cool has exclusively revealed that this August, following San Diego Comic-Con, Greg Weisman, will launch a new ongoing series set in 1997, with the Gargoyles #1 comic book to be published by Dynamite Entertainment and Disney Comics.

The new ongoing series will be written by Greg Weisman, drawn by Gerardo Gambone, coloured by Robby Bevard and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry. With covers by Meghan Hetrick, Sebastian Piriz, Drew Moss and Frank Paur.

"GARGOYLES" #1 - WRITTEN BY GREG WEISMAN, ART BY GERARDO GAMBONE

"One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of GARGOYLES! Stone by day, warriors by night, they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect…frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and they live again! They are defenders of the night! They are Gargoyles! Whether readers picking up the new Gargoyles #1 have watched the whole animated series front to back several times, devoured the back in print classic years of comics, and have had every issue of the Dynamite era on their pull list from day one, or if they're just looking for a fun comic series full of deep characters, awesome action, and rewarding plotlines, this is the perfect book!" "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."

We’re back, and we’re thrilled to be joined by Thom Adcox (the voice of Lexington), Jeff Bennett (the voice of Brooklyn), Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Broadway), and—of course—Greg Weisman! It’s a full rookery brothers reunion as the Trio comes together to reminisce about working on the show, collaborating with each other, sharing the booth with the rest of the cast, and interacting with the many guest actors who helped bring the world of Gargoyles to life. The chemistry between these three is on full display and serves as a great reminder of why the Trio worked so well in the first place. There’s a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and a lot of perspective about the show and the business of show business.

Somewhere in the midst of all that, we also manage to talk about “Turf.” We discuss the Trio’s reactions to Angela joining the clan and how the cast welcomed Brigitte Bako into the recording booth. We also talk about how Elisa is somehow still employed after months on the World Tour, Angela putting the Trio in their place, why Broadway ultimately ends up with Angela while Brooklyn does not, and why Lexington participated in pursuing Angela at all despite being gay.

This episode is a blast from start to finish.

We also share our First Impressions of Gargoyles Meets Darkwing Duck #2. Spoilers run from 0:50 through 8:50.

KATANA!!!!!!!!! Gosh, she’s cute. Never drawn a beaked gargoyle in 3/4 view before I started practicing for this, but I’m a convert at this point <3

And with that, I’m finally calling this series of portraits complete. One for each issue of the Demona miniseries, focusing on the major new gargs/character designs. Though, I do still want to color some more sketches of adult Angelika and adult Katana… and at this point, I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing more of Katana in future comics!!
