Gargoyles (1995)

Posted on by EHT Comics

In 1995, Marvel Comics issued a Gargoyles comic book series which ran for 11 issues. A 12th issue, to be entitled “The Day the Sun Kissed the Earth!!” was announced at the end of Issue 11, but never published. The books did not directly follow the continuity of the series, but they did reference specific events that took place within it. The Marvel series was tonally darker than the television series, dealing largely with Xanatos‘ experiments to create creatures and machines to defeat the Gargoyles. Greg Weisman, television series co-creator, did not have any direct involvement in the story development of the comic series, but was consulted on some plot points to be sure it stayed within certain boundaries.

They are gathered by Doctor Strange in Nightstalkers #1 (Nov. 1992) to battle an immediate threat, but under Strange’s larger, hidden agenda.

Avengers World (2014)

Posted on by EHT Comics

According to Nick Spencer, “What the book is all about is really in the title. This is a book about geography. It’s about what Marvel Earth looks like now. Obviously we’ve seen the Avengers make a pretty big statement about this world being under their protection and them being the representatives of our world. So it felt like it was time to do a book about what that planet looks like; not just Marvel New York or Marvel Space, but what does Marvel Europe, Asia and Africa look like right now? So it was a chance to do a story that was really global in scope and go some places that maybe we haven’t been to before and really play with the idea of what that changing landscape would look like.”
