Sep 13, 2023Kambadais delivers fantastic art in the issue as always. The courtroom drama is as visually compelling as the action in previous issues and I love how the reveal at the end is handled. Read Full Review

Sep 13, 2023Gargoyles #9 is an issue that'd make Matt Murdock blush. Not only does Greg Weisman write a trial (or hearing) accurately, he manages to keep this low-octane issue. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - batfan1992
Sep 13, 2023While Gargoyles #9 is lacking in terms of action, it does do a good job of re-examining themes from the show, such discussing whether gargoyles possess sentience and if theyre deserving of rights the same as humans. The characters are depicted consistent with how theyve been portrayed in this comic thus far and in the first two seasons of the show. How might this trial turn out? And what other surprises might be in store? Read Full Review

Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez
Sep 15, 2023GARGOYLES #9 puts the simmering mob war on the back burner and slows the overall pacing down for Goliaths hearing to determine if gargoyles deserve protection under the law. Weisman presents a reasonably solid hearing, and Kambadaiss art is decent enough, but this is not a thrilling issue by any stretch. Read Full Review

This issue reminds me of something I'd have expected out of an old X-Men comic. I'd really rather have a story focusing on the clan dealing with a real threat like Dino Dracon's gang war or even the Quarrymen. This is mostly a modernization of an episode of the Goliath Chronicles, but told in a different way. Margo is an even bigger shrew here than she was on the show. She's a bit too smug for a D.A. to behave. One thing That this issue brought up is interesting though, and that's what Reynard's reason truly was to fund the Gargoyle task force. Like I said, this issue is more reminiscent of old X-Men than the action of Gargoyles, but was still pretty interesting nonetheless.
