Greg Weisman, creator of the Gargoyles animated series, has been waiting for over a decade to expand on his vision. With this graphic novel (a collection of more-or-less monthly comics) he threw away Season 3 of the series, picking up where Season 2 left off. The Clan is back at the castle, and humans know they exist. Alliances have shifted. Enemies, such as the Xanatos family, have become protectors, and the Illuminati is up to something, as usual. Throw in the standard Gargoyles mix of Magic, Mythology, and Mad Science, and the reader is thrown into Weisman's deeply-layered universe. No, seriously, this was a kids' show! But it ages well. Enjoy. http://reviewingwhatever.blogspot.com/2009/08/assorted-graphic-novels.html no reviews | add a review

Although I feel those first two issues were intended to open up the readership to new members, make no mistake--this is a comic for the fans of the show. We start with mountains of backstory and development already in place, and with only a few missteps, we get the first few episodes of the Season 3 that should have been. The artwork was serviceable, with more emphasis on characterization than action. I generally prefer that in my artwork, but the action scenes were a little too muddy for my tastes.
Recommended for fans of the show. Those new to the mythos should buy the DVDs, and hope that (eventually) the 2nd half of the 2nd season gets the release it deserves. ( )
