A THOUSAND YEARS OF ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE!

After kicking off with a special prologue story in Dynamite Entertainment’s Free Comic Book Day issue #0, the long-awaited tale of Goliath’s former love and sworn enemy of the Manhattan Clan gets underway in earnest with a return to the Dark Ages and the aftermath of the destruction of Castle Wyvern!

The year is 1093, and the now-immortal Demona has become a lonely and hunted creature. Bereft of both clan and home after her betrayal of Scotland’s king, she wanders south to Northumberland in search of a safe haven — only to find that her old nemesis, Canmore, is raidi more

    Gargoyles: Demona #1 digs deeper into the origin of its titular gargoyle, while also reuniting the creative minds behind the original series. The only thing that would make this comic better if it was read by Marina Sirtis. Read Full Review
