A show named "Gargoyles" premiered on Disney Afternoon. One that was unlike any other animated show at the time. Great art, and storytelling. One where the end of each episode was not the status quo, or a reset. The characters learned, grew, and aged. And had quite a bit of Shakespearean influence.

The first show where I felt a certain connection, and could empathize with the characters. Having been a military brat, it had an impact on my life at the time I needed it the most. And helped connect me to a fandom that helped break me out of my shell.

There had been a convention for the show called "The Gathering of The Gargoyles" that ran from 1997 to 2009. I missed the first 3, but went to other 10 of them. Met many folks that I consider to be friends to this day. And is also where my handle "BrooklynX" comes from. Couldn't think of a good one, and decided to tack a X on the end of Brooklyn for something that was supposed to be temporary at best. But here I am, 24 years later, still using it.

And if you were a fan of the show, it is still be continued in comic form by Dynamite Comics. They did a 12 issue arc called "Here in Manhattan," and 6 issue arc "Dark Ages," which was a prequel of sorts. Issue 4 of the current arc "Quest" comes out November 6th, and the show creator is the one writing the stories. And many more issues are planned...


And along those lines, yes, I am still open for questions for my characters Chaos, and Gadget. Or Eagle, Titmouse, Falcon, Woodpecker...
