Looking Towards the Future of Gargoyles.....

This comic book was great. If you're a gargoyles fan, you've already seen this first issue in cartoon form for the show. I could go on to talk about the show or about this comic book, but I figure you can look at the other reviews to get a good sense of those things. What I want to tell you about is what comes up after this first issue. The next one should be about the second part of the episode it takes after. After this, the third issue is going to start in a new direction. It will have new characters introduced and new story lines that have not been seen on television. While doing this, Greg Weisman (creator of the series) still keeps all the old characters and themes, and puts them together with the new ideas for the series. I highly recomend that you get this comic book so that you are not lost in the dark when the next comics come out. They've started this first issue off so that even though you haven't seen the gargoyles episodes on tv, you can understand everything that is going on. Trust me, you'll never find another show/comic book as great as this one. And if you ever get confused with the comic or you want to know more about the show, you can always talk to the producer of the show on line at [...]. It's all explained there. Enjoy!

I loved the start to this new series. Gargoyles have long been one of my favorite paranormal denizens; the mythology of gargoyle as protector lends itself so well to fantasy/romance adventures. This book had an engaging primary couple, particularly the gargoyle; he was utterly charming, as well as strong and loyal and sexy. Interesting secondary characters, which makes looking forward to the upcoming books fun...although Fallon was almost a bit too abrasive at times. Wulver was very hot and intriguing and I hope we learn more about Shadow!

Really great toy figure series from the game should do more of these series backgrounds and street with figures and others creatures figures that they could as well. There's whole lot more in the game with zombies and creatures with adding background atmosphere, rooms you go to and scenery that they can add from capcom. That's what would I would like to see more of. M

This fast paced tale moves the reader through a world populated by gargoyles, evil druids and ancient Celtic gods all battling it out in the Manhattan of 2013. As someone who watched the Gargoyles cartoon, the novel clearly draws inspiration from the show but manages to do its own thing. One major difference is that this is about someone who willingly transformed into a monster to defeat the bad guys.  The story plays up the lost humanity angle as the darkness of the gargoyle threatens to take over our hero. The ending wraps up all loose ends but I wonder if the writer plans on doing a sequel. Would be cool to revisit this world/mythology.

I haven't had a pair of Gargoyles in quite a while I have had the same pair of Oakleys for many years and have even sent them in to be refurbished a couple times. I wanted a new style and just couldn't justify the cost for a new pair at this time. So I looked into Gargoyls as I hadn't even thought about them for as many years. These looked great even fit well and I was told they looked good on me. I went on a trip recently about a 7 hour drive from early morning to late afternoon and about 2 to 3 hours in my nose began to hurt as if the glasses were brusing my nose. I'm not a little guy by any means and had adjusted the nose bridge to fit just right and they were comfortable for a while. The visual quality was great and I really wanted to keep them but couldn't have a pair of glasses that hurt after wearing them for many hours as I drive about 3000 miles a month.

Final thought... if you can handle the weight of these they are awesome.

I hope this helps you decide!

The more that I learn about Carron, the more despicable he becomes.  Unfortunately, I also find that I respect Gregor less the more that I learn about his dealings as alpha.  Keeping the four former slaves in what basically amounts to the same thing was, at the very least, immoral.  I'm glad that they are able to find that they haven't been abandoned by their gods, as they had assumed.

A Lord of Hell shows up at Dante's door with an invite from the Prince for a contract - she fulfills and she'll be allowed to live with riches beyond her dreams. The Prince, Lucifer, wishes an escaped demon executed and the Egg, a demon artifact he's about to break, brought back to him. Jaf, the demon assassin of Lucifer's is to go with her and keep her alive until the job is done. The demon - Santino - is a dangerous serial killer and Dante and Jaf have personal vendetta's to settle with him. Why Dante? Because the demon was granted immortality years ago. Lucifer hopes since Dante is neither human or Demon she will be able to do the job.

One thing that stuck out in a huge way to me, the world building. Lilith is a pro at it. This world is similar yet so different to what we know. There is an advance in tech here, as demons do love tinkering. There are hover trains, plasguns, holovids, AI pilotdecks on hovers and freight fliers. Magic exists here strongly and is accepted, mostly. There's an Academy to be accredited in area of expertise. But people are still nervous of some of the areas, necromancy being top of the list. Such an interesting creation with psi and even demon intervention in the world.

Demons aren't all that bad. Err, lack of a better word? They are not angels, but they are interesting in humans and the way of the human world as well. Demons are not looked upon with any love by many. But then there are many that don't know there are Demons walking around. But people sure know there are Necromancers and Shamans and others of magic walking around by their living tattoo on their face.

Dante just wants to be left alone to get through her days the best she can. Pay off her Academy loans and buy a house sooner than most her kind. She dabbles in bounty hunting of small things, not an assassin though, to get ahead. And she is. She's a tough shell though. She has a softer side, but hides it well. Then we have Jaf...I...I think 40 pages in and I was falling for the demon.

We meet other friends of Dante as well. They show a broader verse to the world. More magic present and what they can do. Cool. Gabe and Eddie and Jace. And...I think I really like Jace as well. But I doubted the friend relationships a few times as we went. Well done by Lilith.

I will be reading more of this series. The world and magic has caught me. And, seeing Dante as she is now, I want to know what she'll do next.

Finally, with issue #3 "Inviation Only" comes brand new storyline from creator Greg Weisman.  The story continues as Xanatos begins "Phase 1" of his plan to have the Gargoyles become socially acceptable by throwing a Halloween party.  Of course, there is no party this issue.  Feelings need to be sorted out between Goliath and Elisa first, while the Illuminati has their hand in the police's plans, Xanatos' plans and John Castaway's plans.  Their true motive remains a mystery.  Their presence and Thailog's appearance leave us with the suspense of wanting more!  This comic is a must have for any fan and now is the perfect time for those new to the series to grab this issue, as well as issues #1 & #2.

Okay,so the Honor worship can get redundant and then what happens to the Bad Penny made me a little sad. However,life goes goes on even if that means Honor gets a desk job. Do you really think that after escaping from Hades,the Manticoran Navy would put her back in a ship(Especially if they want it to come back in one piece,but in all fairness its never her fault).I do have one suggestion for Weber,could you include more ground combat that is as in-depth as your space battles?

I love this series and had been anticipating this installment coming out for awhile. I thought that it was good, but not up to par with the first 2 books, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of the 5 stars I gave the other two. The storyline continued evolving and I genuinely liked where the story is going, but two issues bothered me.

*slight spoilers follow*

First, I did not like the the time jumps that the author employed. It left me feeling a little robbed of what was likely a critical time in Endrance's development. Frankly, I think there should have been another complete book between the 2/3 mark and the end of the book. After the first two books spanned the course of a couple months, this book spans the course of years? Something about it just did not sit right with me. That and I genuinely wanted to learn more about the elves too.

Second, I wanted Endrance's relationships with the Draugnoa to play a more important role in the story. It felt like they took a backseat in this installment, when in the previous books they were critical pieces of Endrance's success. I especially did not like the development in Selene's character. It felt forced and just not right to me. On top of that,I do not feel like Endrance gives Bridget and Tanya enough attention or love. They are his wives too and I want him to start acting like it. The scenes with Endrance and the Draugnoa in the tents were my favorite ones of the entire book. Endrance's relationships with the Draugnoa are honestly my favorite part of all of these books, something about the characters and their interaction is just perfect for me. That is why the changes in those relationships in this installment bothered me so much. I hope in the next book that Mr. Cruz goes back to making The Draugnoa's happiness one of Endrance's priorities again and that they come together to help deal with his increasing power.

Overall, this was a great installment in the Spellscribed series that kept me craving to know what happens next. Mr. Cruz if you are reading this please take my critiques to heart! I genuinely love your books and I care a little too much about what happens to the characters! I cannot wait for the next book,so keep up the great work! Read this series guys, you won't regret it.

I miss the original full novels and these little novellas aren't too filling, but I have to read them because I <3 the world and characters.
I will say that the introduction of a new realm/characters is interesting but puzzling at the same time. I didn't think that there needed to be anymore, but I understand a bit about how the demon stuff is pretty much taken care of, so to speak, and a new world would open things up for some more interesting pairings for sure.
Gem elves ... are interesting I will just say that.

I liked it, didn't all out love it, but I liked it.

Is this the distant future. Maybe and it seems pretty dark but maybe realistic as well.  Maybe it is a re play of the past aka Briton after the Romans left. Or it could be our future as we leave the rest of the world to fend for itself as we decline. All I can say is that I want to read the rest of the books and see where the vision of the author take me.  The excerpts from different books before each chapter set the tone of the chapter. They also provide some commentary on the author's current world view.  One I happen to agree with a lot.
  There are also some very interesting characters that I want to see developed as well as the growth of a world with a mixed technology base. I liked this book and gave it four stars because I can not put it up there with my favorite authors as it has a little way to go in character development and descriptive writing. It is also  a little short.

I am really wanting Anita to keep working her way back to being kick ass, not just romantically available to any man/monster that catchers her eye or needs "saving". It would be really interesting if this series took a 180 and made the monsters less lovable and more in need of killing. It would be great if Anita got back to some of her original "human" internal conflicts, but also  really had creatures to work against that seriously needed killing, and have her do it without her posse of beautiful men. Just one humble long time fan's opinion... Too many characters, too many pretty men, to much concentration on everything but how Anita's world (and all the humans in it) are affected by all these monsters and their internal politics.

Way too many demons/gargoyles flying/leaping/floating around and destroying each othe. Lost interest, likely due to battle fatigue.

Absolutely fantastic!  I loved the story and can't wait for more gargoyles!  What a fantastic concept, taking something so inanimate and give it not only life but emotions, feelings, power and of course magic.  The characters were so well developed and believable.  This is really going to be an awesome series!

Are you bored of zombies and vampires?
Well, it is time for the fight between the demons and the gargoyles, and the inevitable
involvement of a unique creature on the side of the good in the fight against evil.
Although the plot is simple, yes the fight between good and evil, the depiction of the
two sides is interesting, especially the ascending and descending parts (must watch the movie, i don't want to spoil it).
The special effects are quite good but I wish that martial arts were not involved. I mean how about some straight
dirty fighting and not choreographed fighting scenes. Really, all creatures learn martial arts? I mean there must
be a super sensei somewhere out there!!

It is a good movie, fun to watch, and it adds something to your sci fi knowledge!
