Just got Gargoyles #6, despite the few moments of me freaking out at Trilogy before I realised that someone didn't put them in the right place(everything's organized on the back wall alphabetically and someone put Gargoyles in with the I's, ftw?) and, personally, alot of mixed feelings here...
**Spoilers**
To start off the art rubbed me the wrong way in quite a few parts. Though this may be just because I wasn't that big a fan of Gordon Purcell to begin with. Here I think the main problem was that he just couldn't draw Angela very well. There's several parts where she just looks rather poorly done. Also, filing under the art problems was that flub with the page being used twice just with different dialogue. Just hope that's fixed for the TP.
Moving into the story itself. I was pleased. Though I still don't care for Thailog, I did like the little bit between Shari and him. She's a character I could get to like, especially how she's both humble toward Thailog yet toying with him at the same time. It's interesting.
It was amusing to see them end up in the laundry pot like that. My first thought when they started to mention the heat was a very confused 'volcano?' though the pot certainly made more sense. Though it does make me wonder if they took the same way out. *ponders*
I enjoyed the monks though I do wish more was done with them. I understand having to fit the story into a certain amount of pages though after the past few issues stretching out the story this one felt rushed. Ahem...
The Yeti, heh. That was great. Master Dawa was the fantastic and I like how he already knew Coldstone. If his wit hadn't already made him cool then that certainly helped.
As for Coldstone himself well, there's only one thing I'm not quite getting here. If he's separated from Iago/Coldsteel, doesn't that mean he has no fear of being taken over again? Or do I need to go back an rewatch the episodes with them? Eh?
So in all it's not the best but it's still good. It also does well to open the door to future events with the last page there. *grin* I love Xanatos best when he's being the villian he's meant to be. That's all I can think to say right now so...
