Writer and Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and artist DREW MOSS continue their epic origin tale in this 40-page issue, which includes a new text story from Weisman and all cardstock covers featuring art by CLAYTON CRAIN, ALAN QUAH, MIRKA ANDOLFO, KENYA DANINO, and ERICA HENDERSON!
Moss delivers some fantastic art in the issue. I love the vibrant tone of the imagery and how it creates a compelling visual story. Read Full Review
Gargoyles: Dark Ages #5 is a good continuation to this series and introduces new characters that expand upon the gargoyles lore. This issue shows us things mostly from a childs perspective, which makes the dragon all the more terrifying. There isnt much of Angel/Demona and the Archmage this issue, besides her learning to read, but they may end up using the dragon for nefarious purposes. Aside from the dragon's awakening, the action in this issue is lacking. Hopefully it will pick up a bit more next issue now that the dragon has been let loose. Read Full Review
