Gargoyles: Bad Guys

Bad Guys is one of six proposed Gargoyles spin-offs, and the first to appear in comic-book form as a six-issue mini-series from Slave Labor Graphics. For the first issue, see Strangers.

Bad Guys is the spin-off that came closest to being created in animated form. A Leica reel for the series was produced, which is shown exclusively at the Gathering of the Gargoyles convention.

In the series, a mysterious personage known only as the Director recruits a series of "semi-reformed" villains from the original series to run missions for him, choosing these people because, as "bad guys," they are expendable. Robyn Canmore serves as the leader of this Redemption Squad; the other members are Dingo, Matrix, Yama, and Fang. In the course of their "Dirty Dozen"-inspired adventures, they will encounter many familiar figures from Gargoyles, such as the terrorists from "City of Stone Part One" (in the course of which we will learn what their cause was), the Pack, Castaway and the Quarrymen, and even Goliath's clan. The Director will be using the Redemption Squad in part as a means of battling the Illuminati. Character-based complications along the way will include Dingo and Robyn developing a stormy relationship, and Yama and Fang taking a strong dislike to each other.
