    Graphic Policy - Brett Dec 7, 2022

    Gargoyles #1 is an excellent start. Not only did it leave me wanting more, it has me wanting to go back and watch the original animated series to see what I missed. It's surprisingly "adult in what it talks about catching me as a new reader off guard but also sucking me in. This isn't the "kids series I thought it was, and partially dismissed it because of, and has me excited to discover more. Read Full Review

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Dec 7, 2022

    GARGOYLES #1 recaptures the fun, imagination, and excitement of the original Gargoyles cartoon by (re)introducing the entire cast and setting up the big villain to come. The pacing, dialog, and character representations are on-point, and Kamadaiss cartoonish art style is a suitable match for the property. Read Full Review

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Dec 12, 2022

    Quickly getting readers up-to-date with a show that ran for 78 episodes nearly 30 years ago is no easy task, but Elisa's narration works well with short introductions of the show's mythology, quick intros for the main characters, and cluing us in to major events such as the gang war that is brewing in New York since the Gargoyles helped put both local crime bosses behind bars, all while hopefully not boring longtime fans. As the issue concludes we also learn Maggie is going into labor to deliver a child several characters have a keen interest in, leading into next month's issue. Read Full Review
