The Rundown: Demona enacts her boldest plan yet and the entire city is at stake.
Demona has finally gotten all of the items she and her minions have been searching for. After activating the items, she reveals that they will allow her to control the minds of all humans in the city. At the same time, the rest of the Gargoyles plan for a Thanksgiving meal while Hudson invites an old friend to the castle.
As Demona begins her plan and Goliath meets with Elisa to discuss his hunt, Coldfire looks for Coldstone who is working with Demona. As Coldfire lands in the city, she begins the see the effects of Demona’s spell as Demona herself makes her way to the castle to see Xanatos and bring someone special to Goliath.
The Story: Weisman crafts an insanely tense and entertaining story in this issue. I continue to love the expanded world he is creating in this series and how the characters continue to grow and evolve throughout the story. I really like seeing the relationship between Goliath and Elisa grow and that evolution adds some interesting drama to the next confrontation between him and Demona. There is some great tension throughout this story and I cannot wait to see where it goes next.
The Art: Qualano delivers some beautifully detailed and visually immersive art throughout the story. I love the art style and how it captures the visual thrills and wonderful character moments.
