Okay, there's my spider-man ramble. Now here's a question about Gargoyles.
One character who always intrigued me was Desdemona. Great design (I love her wings) and great voice. (The regal, but very tough tone of CCH Pounder was great.) But one thing that always bothered me was... well... she always just kinda struck me as a more moral Coldstone. She was well written, and she obviously served her purpose in the storyline, but to me, it was almost as if she wasn't meeting her potential. Often being stuck in Coldstone's head in the few episodes she was in. Which brings me to my question.
Now that Coldfire is free of Coldstone's brain, will we begin to see her in other arenas? Possibly interacting with other characters outside of her three brothers?
And as a side-question, would you mind if I posted some rambles on old episodes of Gargoyles or has that ship sailed?
Greg responds...
You can always post rambles, assuming the posting function's open at all. As for Coldfire, give me enough issues and I'll get to everything eventually.

I'm back!
Great first episodes, just as I expected! The Spectacular Spider-Man has totally lived up to all my geeky hopes and expectations.
A few questions about some things:
The gargoyle that fell off the building and smashed..was that Broadway? I'm limited to a plain old cable box, no tivo or DVR to rewind or rewatch.
Loved the Gargoyles references, whether they were just plain old gargoyle statues or our favorite Gargoyles characters, it's nice to see them stuck in whenever possible.
Keith David is great, I love having him as a part of this show, he could probably voice just about anything and make it interesting, compelling and just plain fun. Every time I hear him I can't help but think, "it's Goliath!"
Also, did I catch Jeff Bennett's voice in there, as one of the enforcers?
Anyway, keep up the great work and thanks again!
Greg responds...
It was certainly reminiscent of Broadway, but no it was not Broadway. Why would Broadway be asleep at night?
Aldrius writes...
Here's my ramble on the first two episodes of Spider-man. Sorry the ramble is kinda disjointed. I just wrote each thought as it occurred to me.
Okay, so by the intro we already have Keith David and Clancy Brown. I think that Keith David might be the Kingpin. Which I wouldn't mind at all. And the intros really cool. Looks like we're getting a black suited spider-man soon. Which I don't mind. Always liked the look of the black suit.
By the way, was that Hudson as one of the gargoyles at the beginning? Can't go 8 seconds without a gargoyles cameo, eh?
Just teasing.
Commercials suck.
Peter Parker's design is a little creepy...
I can't recognize May or Anna's voices.
I like Peter's characterization here. Thinks he's such a smooth operator. Is a huge nerd. That's our Peter Parker.
Wow. Three villains' alter-egos in the first episode. Norman Osbourn, Adrian Toomes, and Flint Marko. Not bad. Norman kinda reminds me of Xanatos a little bit. Which isn't a bad idea all things considered.
...Eek. Harry. That's kinda disappointing Maybe it'll change.
Phil LaMarr is the random jock friend of Flash. That's so great. "It's cool." I can tell I'm going to like you Mr. Jock Friend.
Oh man. I love Keith David. He plays every role he does so well. He's hilarious, heart-warming and cunning and all that. And we have Hammer Head here too. So I'm starting to wonder who he's playing. Still think it's the Kingpin.
Curt Connors now.
And oh... Lacey Chabert is Gwen Stacey, huh? That's not bad casting.
... and here's the Vulture.
GOD DAMMIT HARRY. HARRY. WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
Norman is still pretty great. Reminds me a lot of what Wilhem did with it. The super-proud manipulative father.
And so we continue the Spider-man TAS trend of Osbourn pissing people off and getting kidnapped. What was that joke in Batman: The Animated Series? "Another super-villain provided by a fund from the Wayne Foundation"? Something like that anyway.
Dear god. That vulture is persistent. And now we have some random guys in a helicopter too. And more Jeff Bennett, which is always great.
"YOU WILL APOLOGIZE!"
...is that really all he wants? An apology? I kinda drifted out there for a second...
And Osbourn won't give it to him? What the hell?
This show is actually pretty funny.
Aunt May is useless Amazing Spider-man Aunt May. Guh! Curses! Hopefully that'll change eventually.
Oh no. Random mechanic. I wonder if he'll turn out to be a bad guy.
That would be a twist...
Curt Connors is an irresponsible father-figure! Damn him!
Haha. Aunt May, worse than the Green Goblin, Electro and Venom combined. "You're to be home by ten young man!!"
Oh no, random mechanic just was in a strange accident.
I wonder if he has superpowers now...
Oh shoot. I recognize the doctor's voice, is that the same actor who played Talon in Gargoyles?
The hospital even provides super-suits for their super-villains now. That's service!
Aha. Liz Allen.
Ah, this kinda reminds me of that Justice League villain who couldn't touch anyone.
Ah, the Superman cut. I like the jazzy spider-man theme. That's a really nice touch.
I like Electro... his design is cool, and his voice is kinda neat.
Ah, so next up is the Rhino... that could be interesting...
I think one thing that makes Greg such a great writer is that he puts depth where there really is none. This is all typical super-hero fare, but it's given a lot of life and energy by the writing.
And is that... oh shoot... the fellow who played Matt Bluestone as the cop? Tom Wilson. That's it. That's type-casting for you. Heh. Tom is great.
"We're all nerds. Join us!" The future is at hand.
Everyone's eyes creep the heck out of me...
Liz Allen's 'petey' bit is interesting.
Haha. Spider-man is an irritating bastard.
Electro seems a lot more powerful than the Vulture was.
Again, this show is actually really funny. The light-heartedness (that's a word, I swear) really comes across well.
Aunt May, I kinda hope she gets in on 'the secret' so to speak. Sooner rather than later.
Liz Allen... is that... Maria Canals?
Maybe wrecking the lab wasn't such a hot idea, Electro.
That was actually a really good hour I think. I like this series and I think it has 'marvelous potential'.
The spider-man's head in the sky thing is an interesting way to end each episode. I'm not sure if I like it or not.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm being snarky. I really love the show and what you're doing with the mythos. I snark because I like it.
All in all. Bravo.
Greg responds...
Rand isn't random, of course.
Not sure what your reacting to about Harry.
Liz Allan was voiced by Alanna Ubach.
I like to think Xanatos is/will be a much better father than Norman.
I'd hardly call Aunt May useless.
Dorian Harewood played Boreas and Talos on Gargoyles and plays Doc Bromwell in TSS-M. Rocky Carroll played Talon/Derek.
Ricky writes...
Hey Greg,
Can't wait for The Spectacular Spider-Man, by the time you read this it will have already aired, and you'll probably have another message from me telling you how incredible it was. I'm a huge Spider-Man fan (and an even huger Gargoyles fan) and I know that with you behind the wheel, we're in for a great show.
That was more of a comment, so here's my question:
Any chance that you could give us an update on how things are going for:
a) Gargoyles #8 and Bag Guys #2, any updates on how things are coming along, whether they've been approved or approximately when we can expect them? Sorry to bug you about it but I'm just so excited to see where both new issues will take us.
b) Clan-Building Volume 1, did it sell well? I know I did my part, I bought 4, and I've reread it at least 20 times. It's nice to have them in a compact form, and I love the size of the book. I was expecting it to be about the size of the individual issues, but I was pleasantly surprised (it's the perfect size to read in class and not get caught :P).
I also bought two of the new t-shirt, so hopefully that'll help send Disney the message that we want more Gargoyles merchandise!
Thanks a lot for everything, it's so great to have Gargoyles to look forward to again. Here's to hoping for the Season 2, Volume 2 DVD, and the renewal of the license for the comics!
Greg responds...
a) See my answer to the previous question.
b) Don't know.

Greg,
Based on the information you shared with us on Monday, February 11, 2008, I compiled the list below for my website. Would you say the list below is accurate on the potential release dates for the future comics of Gargoyles? If not, what dates should I change? Thank you.

Greg responds...
It's as accurate as anything I guess. We're still waiting on Disney to approve G#8 and BG#2. They're both done.
Bad Guys #3 is fully penciled and inked. It's being finished and lettered.
Gargoyles #9 and Bad Guys #4 are both being pencilled now.
Gargoyles #10 is being scripted.
That's where things currently stand.

R.I.P. SAMMI
Our basset hound Sammi went into complete renal failure and had to be put to sleep today. We didn't get her or Abraham until both were senior citizens but they both gave us some wonderful years, and Sammi will be missed. She was a very, very sweet girl. Smart too -- most of the time. This is the first time that we've had no pets at all since Beth and I got Bigtime as a kitten in 1991.
THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN
Hey gang,
Just wanted to let potentially interested people know about the one-hour (two episode) premiere this Saturday, March 8th of "THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN".
This is the new animated series that's been consuming me (pretty much literally) for the last year plus. I am very proud of it. If you like Gargoyles, I really think you'll like this too, especially if you've ever been a fan of Spider-Man (but even if you never have).
We're on KidsWB a.k.a. the CW. Check local listings, though here in Los Angeles we air from 10am-11am on Channel 5, KTLA.
I'm going to ask Gore to open Ask Greg to discuss Spidey.
Greg
