Gargoyles Marvel Comic – Issue 1: “Fiends in High Places” Review

ss

We rip into Marvel’s attempt at Gargoyles. Disney wanted more money, so we have this. It’s not canon, per Greg Weisman, the series’s creator. Thank goodness, because the characters don’t act like they should. It’s like a parallel universe. These are actually pretty fun to mock because they aren’t “real.”

In this issue, Demona and Xanatos are up to a nefarious and inefficient scheme to…do something. It doesn’t matter what. Point is, there’s action and snark. Well, the comic supplies the action and I supply the snark.
