Solicitation

For Elisa Maza, December is bittersweet. She loves the snowy streets of New York City and the bustle of the holiday season - and having a Gargoyle boyfriend who carries her above the skyscrapers to see all of the festive lights is a pretty great perk.

But the month also reminds her of an unsolved mystery from her first year as a detective - a baffling break-in that featured odd clues, a stolen family heirloom, and vague descriptions of a lumbering "thing" that was seen only in the shadows. As she tells Goliath one icy winter night, the fact that she was never able to crack the case still gnaws at her, even after all these years.

And that's all that Broadway needs to overhear to convince him to don his private eye trench coat and reopen the investigation - accompanied, of course, by Bronx and his bull terrier pal, Lance!

Co-written by Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and NATE COSBY, and illustrated by GEORGE KAMBADAIS, this 40-page one-shot uncovers a chilly new chapter in the saga of the Stone Guardians - frosted with crystalline covers from KAMBADAIS, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, ROGER LANGRIDGE, and ALESSANDRO RANALDI!
