October 10, Mt. Laurel, NJ: In time for the holidays, the beloved Gargoyles must trudge through a fearsome blizzard in the new Winter Special coming this December from Dynamite Entertainment and franchise creator Greg Weisman.
A massive storm has blanketed a snowy New York City, bringing the city that never sleeps to a frigid standstill. As night falls, the Gargoyles awaken to find their adopted city transformed into a silent winter wonderland. Crime doesn't take snow days though, so the Manhattan Clan commence their patrol.
The dog-like fan-favorite Bronx is eager to explore this new landscape though, running and jumping through the piles and falling crystals of beautiful and refreshing snow. While on his own, his peaceful night is rudely interrupted when he witnesses a family get separated. It's up to Bronx to sniff out this mission himself, and before the missing family member is trapped under ten feet of snow!
Franchise mastermind Greg Weisman reunited with original flagship Gargoyles artist George Kambadais (Hercules), and they're assisted with writing contributions from Nate Cosby, typically in the editor chair. This special extra-length 40-pager features a set of stunning covers from Kambadais, Jae Lee, Trish Forstner, and Chris Eliopoulos that capture the winter wonderland and Bronx's wonderment among it all perfectly.
"Bronx has been needing to stretch his legs for some time,” said writer Greg Weisman. “And who doesn't love to see a Gargoyle beast frolic in the snow on his very own solo adventure?"
Writer and editor Nate Cosby added, “Gargoyles is one of my favorite TV shows of all time, and Bronx is my favorite Gargoyle. To be able to work on a story with the big blue guy as the star, and co-write it with Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman, means a great deal to me. And to have the great George Kambadais returning to the Manhattan Clan one more time makes it even more special!”
Last but not least, artist George Kambadais chimed in, "Working on another issue of the Gargoyles, alongside Greg Weisman and Nate Cosby feels like coming home. And what could be better than coming home during a snowstorm in December to meet the best boy there is: Bronx!"
This Bronx tale is set to warm the hearts of even the most jaded of seasonal cynics. Grab a cup of cocoa, slip on the fuzzy socks, and enjoy the latest Gargoyles gem!
