So here's the bad news...

As some of you may have guessed, I contacted Boom (with an assist from Peter David) at Comic-Con last summer. They were interested in publishing a Gargoyles comic book and subsequently submitted an offer to Disney for the license.

Disney did not and has not responded. Let me be clear: they didn't respond positively; they didn't respond negatively; according to Boom, they simply didn't respond to the offer at all.

This weekend, Boom informed me that given what Disney is doing with some of their other properties (I'm thinking the Pixar ones, but I can't be sure), i.e. taking them back and giving them to the now Disney-owned Marvel to publish, Boom no longer feels it makes good business sense to pursue Disney licenses. They feel that the best case scenario is that they get the license, use their resources to make the book a success - and then Disney takes it back when the license expires and gives it to Marvel.

So Boom has informed me that they are no longer interested in pursuing the Gargoyles license. Again, let me be clear: I don't blame them in the least. I appreciate their initial interest, but business is business, and this just flat-out does not make sense for Boom at this time.

So where does that leave us? Marvel, of course. I've contacted the ONE guy I know at Marvel to get his advice on how to proceed. Other interested folks are looking into other avenues with Marvel. So we'll see...

And, as always, I promise to keep you posted right here at ASK GREG...

It's... disappeared? I looked in the comment room, and a few people noticed it but there's no explanation as to why it was taken off.

Very odd.

There are tentative plans to release the rest of this series in 2012. No further details are available at this time.

I was waiting until CONvergence was over on Sunday to announce this, but it seems they've already made the announcement here:

Next summer, one of my favorite conventions, CONVERGENCE in Minneapolis, will be dedicating their annual convention to the theme of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". And a major part of that theme will be the celebration of the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF GARGOYLES!!! I'm going to be a guest of the convention, and we've already begun discussions to create a Gargoyles convention within the convention. That's right, folks, the GATHERING OF THE GARGOYLES is back!! There will be a RADIO PLAY! There will be a BLUE MUG!! There will be the ROCKY HORROR GARGOYLES SHOW-ING OF THE TRADITIONAL VIDEOS!! There will be ASK GREG LIVE!! And there will be other Gargoyles related guests to be announced!!!

If you came to any one of the thirteen Gatherings that we held between 1997 and 2009, you know how much fun this can be. You'll want to be there again! If you missed the Gatherings and always wished you had had the opportunity, now is your chance! If you've never heard of the Gathering, but like Gargoyles (or any of the other shows I've done or am doing - including W.I.T.C.H., Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, Rain of the Ghosts and/or Star Wars Rebels, etc.) then this is an opportunity to talk with me and other like-minded fans about them. (We'll probably have panels on them all!)
And if you're interested in just attending a great comic book and science fiction and fantasy and genre convention, then Gargoyles aside, you just can't beat CONvergence:

The camaraderie of the Gatherings was truly something wonderful, and the closest I've ever come to that outside the Gatherings is CONvergence. I honestly can't think of a better con to merge with, even if it's just for one year. (For starters, the ENTIRE hotel is rented to the convention, and the parties go on all night. No more being told by management that we have to stop talking and/or move to some other location. We can and will continue until we drop!)

Now, let's think. Let's strategize. CONvergence is going on NOW. As I type this. And it will last through the end of this July 4th weekend. Next year's convention is exactly one year away. That's plenty of time to plan, to save up money, make travel and hotel arrangements etc. But mostly, what we've got to do in that year is SPREAD THE WORD!!! I want to see a HUGE GARGOYLE FAN TURNOUT at CONvergence 2014. Let's stun CONvergence, the world and DISNEY by showing them how immensely popular Gargoyles still is. And for sure, I don't want any Gargoyles fan saying, "Gee, I didn't hear about it."
So help me, please. I'm sure there are a lot of old fans out there that long ago stopped reading ASK GREG. Contact them. Contact EVERY Gargoyles fan you know, young and/or old. (Don't assume they must already know.) I want to see all my old friends. And a lot of new ones. So, please. Help me. SPREAD. THE. WORD!!!!!!
