Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck #3 (Dynamite Comics)

Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! This week I'm going to be reviewing the 3rd issue of Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck crossover from Dynamite Comics!

Goliath & his gargoyles have teamed up with Darkwing Duck and his crew in an effort to stop Demona from another plan of ruling the world. But just how are they going to stop her? Let’s jump into it!

*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

The Story

Greg Weisman & Tad Stones pick up right where the previous issue left off, and it hits the ground running with a furious pace. Demona is hot on the trail of the Qwackronomicon, all the meanwhile our heroes are playing catchup and trying to stop her. Greg & Tad do a great job continuing the pace and hitting some of the familiar beats longtime fans of both series would be familiar with.

I really enjoy how both casts blend together so effortlessly because the tone of both shows is very different. Yet somehow they come together in such a way that feels like they were almost destined to come together. The way both teams bounce off each other in their own whimsical ways that was such a joy to read.

I really enjoyed the frantic chaotic pace of the story of the issue and the way it built to the ending. It’s a great page turner and it works in such a way that builds in a natural way with a perfect blend of comedy & action. If you’re a fan of either series, or both, you’re going to absolutely love this.

The Artwork

Ciro Cangialosi & Agnese Eterno phenomenal work continues with this issue. With two classic shows, they both do a fantastic job capturing the look and feel of both shows. The artwork is a love letter to an art style that we haven’t seen in some time. It also helps make the issue very accessible to long time fans.

FINAL POINT: The issue is a must read if you’re a 90’s kid, and it’s a series that continues to impress with how perfectly they work together. An incredible story, and phenomenal artwork make this a series you do NOT want to miss out on.

Overall Grade: 9/10
