"Service is it's own reward"

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."

The voice of Angela, Brigitte Bako, returns alongside Series Creator Greg Weisman as we dive into this pivotal episode of Gargoyles: “The Reckoning”!

We discuss Brigitte’s move to New York and how her own family background helped her connect with Angela as a character. We explore Angela finally meeting Demona and her desperate desire to love her biological mother despite the harsh reality of who Demona truly is. We break down some of the episode’s incredible dialogue (including Fang’s unforgettable one-liners), and discuss why Demona ultimately does the right thing here… and why that still doesn’t redeem her in the way many other shows might have tried to frame it.

And for fans who have long questioned why the Manhattan Clan briefly considered that Demona may have perished despite knowing about her immortality, we tackle that as well.

We also catch up with Brigitte about what she’s been up to, including her award-winning podcast, Lies My Vagina Told Me, where the show has been, what’s next for it, and her ongoing connection to the Gargoyles fandom — including the guest appearances from Greg Weisman and Thom Adcox-Hernandez on her show.

This episode gets a little raunchy, so mature listeners — and immature listeners — are all welcome.

We also share our First Impressions of Gargoyles Meets Darkwing Duck #3. Spoilers run from 0:55 to 6:40.
