Gargoyles is a comic book produced by Slave Labor Graphics and Creature Comics starting in 2006. It continues the storyline of the animated television series Gargoyles and is written by series creator Greg Weisman. As the first two issues had a substantial delay, the series was changed to a bimonthly schedule.
Storyline
The first two issues of the comic translate the only third season episode Weisman considers to be canon, "The Journey" (which he wrote), with issue #3 beginning the new storyline. Weisman has confirmed that the comic starts in 1996, just after the conclusion of the final episode of the series. #10 will be the first issue set in 1997.
Production notes
In June 2005, it was announced that a series of Disney-licensed, bi-monthly Gargoyles comic books would be created by Slave Labor Graphics in association with CreatureComics.com. Gargoyles #1 was released on June 21, 2006 and promptly sold out, ensuring a second printing. After an extended delay, Gargoyles #2 was released on December 13, 2006. Following another unfortunate delay, Gargoyles #3 was released on March 28, 2007. Issue #3 contains the first all-new canon stories in ten years. Gargoyles #4 is scheduled to appear on May 16. Gargoyles #5 is tentatively scheduled for a July 2007 release.
SLG has a three-year license from Disney, and president/owner Dan Vado has stated that he currently has "every intention" of renewing. Greg Guler, character designer for the original TV series, has produced the cover art for each issue thus far. Story art is primarily being produced by David Hedgecock. Weisman has also talked about possibly using the unpublished script he wrote for the Marvel series.[citation needed]
Spin-offs
Greg Weisman has confirmed that one of his planned Gargoyles spin-offs, Bad Guys, is set to debut as a black-and-white six-issue limited series in the latter half of 2007. The series will be written by Weisman and drawn by Karine Charlebois, with tones by Stephanie Lostimolo.
Should Gargoyles: Bad Guys turn out to be successful, Gargoyles: Pendragon would be next in line sometime in 2008, followed by "Gargoyles: Timedancer".
