If you ever wondered what would happen if Disney’s Gargoyles teamed up with the Fantastic Four, wonder no longer, as Marvel Comics announced a new one-shot crossover that answers the questions you’ve been contemplating for decades.
Fantastic Four/Gargoyles is written by Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman, with art by Enid Balam.
MARVEL’S FIRST FAMILY UNITES WITH THE MANHATTAN CLAN!
Danger strikes when the super villain Diablo learns stone gargoyles may hold the secret to eternal life…but the Gargoyles aren’t about to let him leech the blood of his own! Fortunately, they’ve got the help of expert Diablo-bashers – the Fantastic Four! Plus: Tony Stark and David Xanatos compare facial hair, Marvel’s own Gargoyle, Isaac Christians, bonds with his new kin, and more!
On bringing the Gargoyles to the Baxter Building, Weisman said, “It just feels perfect to have the First Family of the Marvel Universe interacting with the First Family of the Gargoyles Universe, i.e. the Manhattan Clan. These two sets of heroes, both operating out of Midtown Manhattan – one from the Baxter Building and one from the Eyrie Building – just have so much in common. And, let’s face it, in ways big and small, Stan & Jack’s Fantastic Four was a clear influence on the creation of Gargoyles back in the early ‘90s. Getting to work on this project really brought out the gleeful kid in me. SO MUCH FUN!”
Now, if you are concerned that Dynamite Entertainment, current holders of the Gargoyles license, got the short end of the stick – fear not, as Dynamite will release their own Gargoyles/Fantastic Four one-shot in October as well.
