Warning. If you have yet to read Fantastic Four/Gargoyles, be forewarned that we’ll be diving into serious spoiler territory. One of the major ways that this comic book crossover bucks expectations is that the Richards family and the Gargoyles never come to blows; instead, they immediately join forces. This is made all the funnier by Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm sharing commentary on this fact. Aside from the Fantastic Four, a major character that is brought back from Marvel limbo is Gargoyle, aka the hero named Isaac Christians. Arriving in the crossover, Isaac warns Goliath and company that the villainous Diablo is looking to use their blood to create an elixir granting immortality.
Fighting against the likes of Diablo, the Grey Gargoyle, Xanatos, and Demona, the two teams find themselves triumphant, celebrating their victory. While the Fantastic Four remains unchanged regarding its line-up, Goliath and Brooklyn welcome Isaac Christians into their ranks. Specifically, Goliath says, “Isaac, you fought beside us this night like a true Gargoyle and so, we would like to offer you a place in our clan, as part of our family.” To which Marvel’s Gargoyle accepts. At one time, Christians was one of the most prominent members of the super team known as the Defenders, though now, he fits right in with his new family. Considering that Gargoyle doesn’t appear that much these days in Marvel Comics, he might just become a permanent part of this former Disney Afternoon show’s roster.
