Two legendary universes are about to collide in a crossover decades in the making. This October, Marvel Comics and the iconic ‘90s animated series Gargoyles will join forces for the very first time in FANTASTIC FOUR/GARGOYLES #1. Fans of both franchises can expect a thrilling fusion of worlds as ancient stone warriors meet Marvel’s First Family in a pair of epic one-shots, each telling a different side of the same universe-spanning adventure. You can check out the official covers and details below.
THE MARVEL UNIVERSE COLLIDES WITH THE WORLD OF THE EPIC ’90S GARGOYLES CARTOON IN FANTASTIC FOUR/GARGOYLES #1!
Marvel Comics and the beloved ‘90s Disney cartoon Gargoyles will crossover for the first time this October in FANTASTIC FOUR/GARGOYLES #1, an all-new one-shot by Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman and artist Enid Balám!
Critically acclaimed for its rich mythology and complex characters, the beloved television series followed a group of ancient Gargoyles who reawakened in modern New York City and became defenders of the night! The character’s adventures continue today in new comic series published by Dynamite Entertainment. Dynamite Entertainment will produce their own Gargoyles/Fantastic Four one-shot, also on sale in October and set in the same continuity as Marvel’s upcoming one-shot. Across both sagas, fans will see Marvel’s legendary super hero family team up with Goliath, Elisa Maza, Brooklyn, and the whole gang against villains from both team’s respective universes.
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!”
