Editorial Review: Product Description: The hit comic book series gets collected in trade paperback form just in time for the holidays. Gathering together the stories from issues #1-6, Gargoyles: Clan Building Volume One promises to be one of the best selling trade paperback SLG puts out this year. The series is still seen on the various Disney channels and the fan base remains as passionate about this book as it was during its initial run in syndication. Written by Greg Weisman, who created and produced the animated series and who is now producing the SPIDER-MAN The Animated Series for Sony, the stories presented in the comic book series represent the first additoins to the Gargoyles canon since the series ended almost 10 years ago. Presented in full color, this is going to be a must buy for all Gargoyles fans. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Gargoyles - the story continuesWhile rewatching episodes of the TV series with a friend (and thus checking online for news on any more episodes coming out on DVD), I found out that Greg was writing a comic series, and there were already several issues out. Needless to say, I was overjoyed. I find trade backs more manageable long-term over individual comics, and easier to display on a bookshelf. This book is made well, containing issues 1-6, and includes the cover art from each issue... which is wonderful, since Greg ... Read More Rating: - Gargoyles are still awesomeI was really excited to find out that the creator of Gargoyles was continuing his story in comic form. I used to watch the show when I was 13 and loved it. This comic is just as cool, Weisman makes the transition from T.V. show to comic form really well. He packs in story without skinting on dialogue. This is a way better continuation of a television show than what Joss Whedon has attempted with Buffy. Maybe that is because animation lends itself to comics better. I really enjoyed it. ...

But now, in the new millennium the spell is broken... and they live again! A must own for all Gargoyles fans. Gargoyles fans need to get this book, get their friends into the series, and get them to buy their own copies of the book and DVD. That's how the fans of Firefly were able to make Serenity feasible. This is a great book and a must ... Read More Rating:  - Needs WorkAs far as the tangible product itself goes, the book is durable and well constructed. The text is easy to read, colors vibrant, and printed on high quality paper. Each chapter is drawn by a different comic book artist, ranging from very detailed artwork (Goliath having actual muscle tone, visible tendons, veins bulging, etc.) to very "I shouldn't have chintz'd out on studying correct anatomy" bad. Now for the content of the product: For those of you looking for a continuation of ... Read More Rating: - Pretty goodThe stories are good! I'm relieved that the quality of the characters and stories didn't change. Hurrah! Watch the TV series if you haven't, before buying this. (Certain story elements won't make any sense otherwise.) The reason I don't give this a full 5 stars is because the art quality dropped around half way through. The stories remained good, but as this is a visual medium, the art quality needed to stay consistent. It didn't. I will purchase the next one, whenever it comes out. ... Read More
