Gargoyles #1 — Greg Weisman and Gerard Gambone wake the Manhattan Clan in a new chapter that honors the 1997 timeline
Greg Weisman and Gerard Gambone have returned to the world of the Manhattan Clan with Gargoyles #1, picking up the thread of the 1997 timeline with a story that feels both familiar and newly urgent. As the clan searches for a missing egg and confronts a waking ancient evil, this issue marks a triumphant continuation for the stone warriors.
There's a specific kind of magic that happens when Greg Weisman steps back into the world he helped build, and Gargoyles #1 captures that spark immediately. This isn't a retread or a nostalgic cash-in; it's a story that understands exactly why we fell in love with the Manhattan Clan in the first place. Weisman and Gerard Gambone are here to deliver a continuation that respects the history while introducing a fresh urgency, proving that the legend of the stone warriors is far from over.
The story finds the clan in 1997, right where the animated series left its mark on our hearts, but the peace has been fractured. A Gargoyle egg has vanished, and the search is on, but the stakes are escalating beyond a simple rescue mission. An ancient, all-powerful threat has stirred from the depths, carrying a centuries-old grudge that demands attention. We're looking at a clash of eras, where the ancient magic of the past collides with the modern streets of Manhattan, and the clan must rely on their bond to survive what's coming.
If you've been following the Dynamite comics, you know this run has always been the definitive continuation, ignoring the missteps of later TV seasons and focusing on the rich lore Weisman established. With Gerard Gambone on art, the book gains a kinetic energy that brings the city and the gargoyles to life in a way that feels incredibly alive. The cover by Meghan Hetrick sets a gorgeous tone, but it's the storytelling that will keep you turning pages. This is the book that bridges the gap for new readers while rewarding the longtime fans who know every name and every detail.
A quick note on the covers: Meghan Hetrick's art is gorgeous, and these variants tend to move fast, so just so you know, the shop page is the best way to check what's still in the stack.
