The few that escaped were cursed to sleep until the castle rose above the clouds. However, they were betrayed and the majority of the clan was smashed. Leader of a large clan, Goliath and his kin were charged with protecting their home, a first century Scottish castle, and the humans who inhabited it. Goliath is a gargoyle, a powerful winged creature who turns to stone at the first light of dawn and reawakens with the setting sun. Now Disney and Dynamite Comics are set to revisit the world of Goliath and his clan, but that is leaving some fans wondering what stories are canon and which are not, and Greg Weisman has the answers. The show was followed with a few brief comics' series, but it has always been deserving of a reboot. The iconic '90s cartoon Gargoyles has a wide and passionate following, even after two and a half decades since its cancelation.
