The other two covers that I wanted in my collection was the nostalgic action figure and video packaging variants. I decided to get a few of the variants of that cover which include the main cover, black and white, virgin edition, and premium metal.

My favorite cover was the A cover by David Nakayama. I was going to try and get all of the covers, but I quickly discovered that it would not be possible with 78 total covers just for Gargoyles #1. I do wish Dynamite Comics could have hired my favorite artist, James Silvani, to do a variant cover.

I am a sucker for variant covers, and this series is full of fantastic covers by fan favorite artists. I can’t wait to hear the final sales number. I am not the only Gargoyles fan excited for Gargoyles #1 as the issue has sold over 179,000 copies. Not that I am counting, but that was 138 days ago. I have been thinking about this comic every single day since it was announced at SDCC on July 22nd, 2022. *STOP READING HERE IF YOU WANT TO AVOID ALL SPOILERS* But their bonds will be tested, when nefarious factions from all across the world attempt to steal that rarest, most precious of possessions…an unhatched Gargoyle egg!

Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and they live again! They are Defenders of the Night! THEY ARE GARGOYLES! Stone by day, Warriors by night, they were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect…frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. Official Synopsis: All-new ongoing series, in continuity with the epic GARGOYLES television classic!
