Anyone else remember this show (which has recently been turned into a comic) from 1994? I had the pleasure of re-discovering it a few months ago. The nice thing about my re-discovery is that I don't enjoy the show just because I liked it as a kid, like with most show from my childhood, but rather Gargoyles is actually an amazing show. It was a hard-hitting action drama with great characters, good art, good complex stories, and intelligent writing including may references to Shakespeare. It surprises me that the show was geared towards kids (and that it was produced by Disney). The only real evidence that it was for kids is that there's no swearing, blood, and almost no one dies.
The show starred Keith David as Goliath (he also played The Arbiter in Halo2 & 3 and Captain Anderson in Mass Effect). As he and five other gargoyles from Scotland survive a slaughter from Vikings in 994 who are then put into a state of their stone-sleep for 1000 years and wake up on 1994 in New York City. It follows their adventures as they try to adjust to life in the 20th century and find a place to fit in.
The comic is awesome because it's exactly like the show, the only problem is it's bi-monthly instead of monthly. If you haven't seen either I strongly recommend checking it out.
