Gargoyles #5
SCORE: 70
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the
Gargoyles #5 comic book. I am also thankful I had the time and mental
fortitude to read and review Gargoyles #5. There is a major aftermath
from what happened at the end of the last issue. There are also some
things explained in Gargoyles #5. There will be spoilers in this review.
Goliath goes to jail, and this brings up all kinds of interesting legal
issues.
Does Goliath a gargoyle have human rights? Why is Goliath held at a
human jail if he does not? Shouldn't Goliath be at a zoo? Someone gave
the GTF all kinds of money to be able to hunt down the gargoyles. We are
not sure who did that though. Maybe I should say Gargoyles #5 does not
reveal that. There is also a storyline in Gargoyles #5 about two gang
leaders about to go to war because their children are seeing one
another. A definite Romeo and Juliet scenario.
Hudson want to go and save Goliath in Gargoyles #5. Matt Bluestone is
head of the GTF and he talks Hudson down. Later in Gargoyles #5 the
gargoyles do go and try and spring Goliath from jail. The problem is
Goliath refuses to leave. Goliath decides to stay in jail. Honestly I
expected that outcome. It is how this story has been flowing. There are
many legal ramifications of this incarceration. Is it even legal?
The main issues families will have with Gargoyles #5 is some violence. I
am not a big fan of the art style used in Gargoyles #5 personally. A lot
of it is too dark. The lawyers debating the freedom of Goliath is very
interesting indeed. It really got me thinking after reading Gargoyles
#5. I hope this is explored fully. The attempted jail break does not
help Goliath. Since Goliath decided to stay in jail that should be some
help in my opinion.
Gargoyles #5 contains twenty-two pages of content, next month's cover
and information, ads, and then the cover gallery. They make quite a few
different covers for this comic books. The GTF was no match for the
gargoyles when they came to spring Goliath from jail. They also made
sure to not kill any humans in this mission. There are certainly more
secrets to share in future issues of this comic book. I still feel like
this series is doing a good job of making readers want more.
