More Disney Gargoyles Than Meets The Eye! A Long-Awaited Ongoing Series Begins This Summer!

And we got a list on what’s been published in comicdom so far! After years of loose ends and unanswered threads, Disney Gargoyles returns with a new ongoing series that finally taps into Greg Weisman’s long-promised vision, picking up where the story truly left off.

Disney GargoylesDynamite Entertainment is fully invested in continuing the adventure of Disney Gargoyles, self-proclaimed protectors of Manhattan City and the new guardians of Avalon. After watching the animated series for the upteenth time, that’s one of Oberon’s decrees that still lingers. As for the fate of the robot clan, where the spirits of Othello, Desdemona, and Iago were finally separated from the Coldstone body and given their own robotic forms, we never got a proper continuation.

There’s also the Canmore clan, who have a deeper history with Demona than most, though the series never played favourites. That arc began with the City of Stone story arc, and every once in a while, surfaces in a future narrative. That’s where things were left (and yes, we’re ignoring the third season, since not many fans liked the direction when creator Greg Weisman wasn’t involved).

Followers of Gargoyles will be excited to learn that this comic book company will publish the story this creator has always wanted to tell. Whether that means exploring events before the previous comic runs or pushing beyond the cartoon’s timeline, those long-promised ideas are finally taking shape. He’s been sharing his ideas with fans for years, and now it seems this publisher is ready to go the extra mile.

From the Press Release:

“For me, this is a story thirty years in the making. One I’ve been longing to tell,” said Weisman. “So longtime fans are seriously not going to want to miss this. At the same time, it’s also a great place for new readers who know nothing about Gargoyles to jump aboard. We’re making sure that everything you need to know is right there on the page. Your Gargoyles addiction begins here and now!”

Free Comic Book Day and Comics Giveaway 2026: My Top Picks on What To Grab May 2nd

Free Comic Book Day 2026 and the inaugural Comics Giveaway Day are both on my radar this year, and there’s a surprisingly fun mix of titles worth watching. From Greatest American Hero to Journey to the West, these are the free comics that are must grabs.

Free Comic Book DayAfter the demise of Diamond Distribution as being the main depot to find comics, and advertise Free Comic Book Day 2026 in their catalogue, it’s harder to know ahead of time what will be released. Thankfully we have the Internet. However, not everyone makes the effort to look ahead. And not everyone knows that there’s “two” events instead of one to cover all the publishers. According to The Beat, there was once a plan to have three, but it’s been scaled back.

Not only is there the normal FCBD, there’s also Comics Giveaway Day. As far as I’m concerned, it’s one and the same, just under different distribution channels. There was supposed to be a third, but when Oni Press threw its support behind the original event, the momentum behind that idea collapsed with it.

Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Adaptations of Classic Cartoons From May Onwards

From what looks like a huge Power Rangers revival as one of the biggest comic book adaptations to emerge this year to Jem, what else can we expect?

Sleepy Hollow- The Witches of the Western Wood #1 - Comic book adaptationsThere’s something familiar about seeing these titles return, like catching an old cartoon during a weekend rerun and realizing it still holds up. Comic book adaptations have quietly become the place where those worlds continue, filling in gaps and pushing stories a little further than they ever could on screen. And the cinematic world should not be ignored. This medium is the perfect place for prequels or sequels when the budget does not allow for a continuation. Just look at our examination of Evil Dead over the years.

Sleepy Hollow:
The Witches of the Western Wood #1

IDW Publishing, May 6, 2026

This prequel revisits the gothic world of Sleepy Hollow, exploring the origins of its dark magic and the forces tied to the Headless Horseman. What stands out is the shift toward Sarah Archer’s past, giving the story a more grounded emotional core. It also feels like the Western Wood itself will play a bigger role, almost as a character shaping what comes next.

Celebrate 626 Day With Dynamite! Lilo and Stitch Has Exciting Plans

A new Lilo & Stitch 626 anthology from Dynamite aims to turn 626 Day into a three-month celebration, with stories spotlighting Stitch and the wider cast, including a tease of Agent Cobra Bubbles’ “secret origin” through Lilo’s eyes.

Lilo & Stitch 626 Anthology - 626 DayDynamite Comics

With both the live-action and animated Lilo and Stitch projects helping make 626 Day even bigger, fans worldwide have another excuse to celebrate all through June. Over at Dynamite Comics, a new anthology series is on the way, interpreting the galaxy’s greatest little chaos gremlin in assorted ways.

What makes this release especially interesting is its promise of an Agent Cobra Bubbles backstory. Some fans will argue we do not need to know, that the mystery is the point. I get that, but I would still love to see how he negotiated saving the mosquito population. That’s the sort of detail that could land perfectly in comic form.

The anthology could also explore what Jumba and Pleakley were up to before everything went sideways. And if they’re giving David some spotlight too, I will not complain. The surfer dude stays an underrated part of the heart of this cast, and I’m curious what new angles the writers find.

As for what Disney has planned around 626 Day, we wait for an official announcement. In the meantime, here’s the press release framing, plus series details.

From the 626 Day Press Release:

What is 626 Day? Stitch, the blue alien buddy who co-stars in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, was originally designated as Experiment 626. While Dr. Jumba Jookiba created more unique experiments, 626 is the most famous. 626 Day offers Disney fans the opportunity to playfully celebrate the beloved character that has captivated global audiences while commemorating his intergalactic namesake.

Dynamite Comics’ Gargoyles Demona Closing Chapter is Excitingly Near!

Demona’s solo comic series is just beginning! Just whether she’s a survivor or an eye of a tiger, depends on what Greg Weisman and Frank Paur have planned. Will this be it, or will there be more?

Dynamite Comics Disney's Demona #5 CoverDynamite Comics
Read the series on Kindle (Amazon link)

One lone survivor’s journey in her solo comic book outing by Greg Weisman and Frank Paur will soon reach its finale. And what I’ve found in Gargoyles Demona feels very Shakespearean. Her desire for revenge versus being a mother to a youngling plays like a tragedy worthy of a stage, and perhaps like an operetta too! As part of her days are revealed for all to read, she’s losing herself. What we learn about her dealings with humanity during the early to late Middle Ages is a story longtime fans have been waiting for.

Although this creator has barely scratched the surface regarding the Age of Renaissance and later eras, I can’t wait to see what can transpire then! Demona’s survival in the later centuries wasn’t explored in the animated series, and there’s still an enormous gap before the tale picks up again in 1910 when she killed Jackson Canmore, a Hunter whose goal is to continue Gillecomgain’s desire for revenge. It all began because she scratched his face while scavenging for food back in the early Middle Ages.
