The Rundown: Goliath and the clan face betrayal from inside as they band together to stop Demona.

Demona has gathered all of the items necessary to enslave all of the humans in the city. An act that will bring her face to face with Goliath and the rest of the clan. As Goliath confronts Demona about what she’s done to Elisa and the other humans, she uses her new power to plan her escape. At the same time, Coldstone tries to convince Goliath that Demona might be right.

Angela attempts to confront her mother as well as the rest of the clan chase her to the airport where she attempts to escape before daylight. As the gargoyles try to stop the rampaging humans under Demona’s control, Goliath and Angela go after her directly and another member of the clan is revealed to be a traitor.

The Story: Weisman delivers a fantastic conclusion to this storyline. The action and story are immediate and brilliantly executed to bring in all of the characters in unique and interesting ways. The stakes are thrilling and Weisman delivers on everything that I love about the world of Gargoyles including how uniquely layered and complicated it is. There is a rich and engaging story in this series and everything beautifully comes to a head with a fantastic twist that I cannot wait to explore.

The Art: Qualano and Gambone offer some fantastic art throughout the issue. The action is visually thrilling throughout and I loved the expressive faces of the characters as they go through complicated and interesting emotional states.
