New readers and longtime fans are going to be absolutely thrilled.' With so many people passionate about the franchise working on the new Dynamite Comics series, fans of the original Disney animated series are likely to love what this Gargoyles comic has to offer. As Nate Crosby, the editor of the comic said, ' Maintaining Greg’s vision of this world is a responsibility and an honor that I take seriously. For all their hard work and effort to keep the story relevant, Dynamite Comics aims to reward their wishes. The legions of the franchise's fans are even more excited about the return of a Gargoyles comic book series. Goliath was the coolest dude and the rest of the clan were SO. I still remember waking up all excited, flustered even, every Saturday and Sunday morning to catch the next episodes. Kambadais who happens to be a long-time Gargoyles fan is ecstatic to be working on the project. Weisman and Nakayama are not the only ones excited about the series return. I've been wanting to get back to these characters for some time now and having this opportunity rocks! (Pun intended). It's just a joy to be exploring a world populated by Goliath, the entire Manhattan Clan, all their friends, and every single one of their enemies. I literally can't articulate how thrilled I am to be writing Gargoyles stories again, both for returning fans and newcomers.

Disney agreed and in 2006, Weisman worked with Slave Labor Graphics to produce a new Gargoyles comic series.

The outpouring of interest eventually led him to ask Disney if it would license the story to him so that he could continue developing it. As Weisman stated in Gargoyles (2006) #1, the story took on a life of its own as fans kept the Gargoyles alive through fan fiction, Gargoyles conventions, and constantly asking for him for insight into the story and characters. However, despite the cancelation of the cartoon and comic, the popularity of the story did not die out. During Gargoyles' original Disney run, Marvel began a comic series that was based on the animated series, but it was canceled after eleven issues. Disney picked up the story and ran it as an animated series for three seasons from 1994 to 1997.
