Yet it’s only when the series ventured into its epic fifty-two episode second season that Gargoylesreally let loose and started to build something much more intricate, largely pieced together under the creative guidance of producer Greg Wiseman. Ostensible villains were put in place – wealthy industrialist David Xanatos and Goliath’s former mate Demona – and a few brief flashbacks filled in more of the clan’s past. Opening with an engrossing origin story stretched across five episodes, the first series laid the groundwork for the swirling narratives to come, introducing us to Goliath and his clan of gargoyles, sent to sleep in 10th century Scotland and woken up in 20th century Manhattan. Time has been kind to Gargoyles, even if it never was to its stony protagonists. You'll obviously get more out of it if you look at the entire tapestry that makes up the Gargoyles universe.But as with many seeming “failures,” Gargoyles was merely a success in a rather different way than the moneymen might have imagined – namely a creative sense, producing a show filled to the brim with mythology and layered characterization, one which seemed a world away from Goof Troop and Duck Tales. "But if I'm doing my job right, you don't need to have seen or read anything previously to enjoy the new stuff. "Yes, the new Dynamite Gargoyles series is canon to the cartoon, as was the series," Weisman said.
At the same time, he also insisted that the comics' story would be accessible to franchise newcomers, as well. In an interview prior to the release of Gargoyles #1, Weisman reiterated that the series should be considered part of official Gargoyles continuity, despite being told in a different medium. The series launched later that year and incorporates plot points that Weisman first conceived back in 1993, prior to Gargoyles' debut. There's currently no indication that a revival project is in the works, however, Weisman unveiled plans to present Gargoyles Season 4 as comic book series published by Dynamite Entertainment in July 2022. Despite this apparent lack of studio support, the show earned a dedicated following, who continue to lobby Disney to revive the franchise on either the big or small screens. Gargoyles debuted in October 1994 and ran for three seasons without the Disney name.
