Gargoyles #8
SCORE: 71
Every month there are a few comic books that are a breath of fresh
air to me. I never know until I am reading a certain comic book series
if it will become that or not. Gargoyles #8 is one of those that feels
like a breath of fresh air to me. In fact there are some parallels
within Gargoyles #8 to the Holy Bible. More on that later in this
review. I am very thankful and blessed to have been able to read and
review Gargoyles #8. There will be spoilers in this review.
Different story threads are moved along. There are also some mysteries
mentioned that may have something to do with the Gargoyles Dark Ages
comic book series that recently started. I am a bit confused how two of
these Gargoyles got into robotic bodies. There is definitely more to
that than I am aware of. I hope it is explored somewhere. Maybe it was
in the cartoon. I still have not seen it to know for certain.
The Pack attacks the prison in Gargoyles #8. They are there for Goliath
and to free this prisoner. The trio that makes up the pack seems
formidable at first. They scare a guard pretty badly that had just been
abusive to Goliath. In a moment that reminded me of Paul and Silas in
prison - Goliath asks the guard to free him to fight off The Pack.
Goliath wins the fight and stays in prison. This is that Biblical moment
I mentioned.
Gargoyles #8 contains twenty-two pages of content, one of next months
covers, some advertisements, the cover gallery, and then some more
advertisements. Gargoyles #8 has a lot of different front covers. In
fact I have noticed that about Dynamite comic books. They go all out in
terms of all kinds of different front covers. I personally am only going
to purchase one so it does not phase me they do so many. It nice to see
all of them in the comic book though.
Gargoyles #8 does contain a bit of violent content within it. There are
also a few other threads that are given a page or two in Gargoyles #8.
It is interesting how Gargoyles #8 is slowly bringing along so many
interesting plot threads. This is part of the reason I am enjoying this
series. According to the end of Gargoyles #8 Goliath will have his
hearing in the next issue. That has been dragging on for some time now.
