Following the events of Gargoyles: Quest, Dynamite Entertainment and Disney present a comic series unveiling untold secrets of the life of Demona. Original show veteran Frank Paur joins his fellow co-showrunner and supervising producer Greg Weisman for one of the most pivotal tales in franchise history! "This new epic event series chronicles a thousand years of adventure, as Demona and those close to her change through time, and she evolves into the character that fans know from Gargoyles stories set in the more recent era of 1998. Much of this time, the core Manhattan Clan cast were frozen in place as statues, so this lengthy era of Demona's wandering has not been delved into as deeply. The first issue flashes all the way back to shortly after the year 994 amidst the "Dark Ages," starting Demona's quest for vengeance against Canmore that will last for centuries. Demona has a thousand years' worth of backstory that our other leads flat-out don't have," said writer Greg Weisman. "That creates a lot of opportunities for storytelling — and we have a monumental story to tell! Blessed, or more aptly cursed, with immortality, each issue will jump to five key glimpses into Demona's turbulent life. Fans will, for the first time, meet Angelika, Demona's other, mysterious daughter. Not possessing the same immortality as her mother, the duo's lives will intertwine in beautiful and tragic ways. What happens when a mother is frozen by time and is forced to watch her daughter age past her? And as the series reaches its conclusion, fans will get to see how Angelika and Angela compare, as well as the larger tragedy of Demona's life." [1]
