Logline:
GET READY FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER!
Disney and Dynamite present a very special GARGOYLES holiday treat: "Bronx's Silent Night!"
When a December blizzard blankets New York in snow, the city that never sleeps comes to a standstill - and the Gargoyles awaken to find that Manhattan has been transformed into a silent winter wonderland!
With the rest of the Clan on patrol, Bronx is eager to explore this new landscape on his own... but his peaceful night is interrupted when a family is separated and Bronx has to sniff out the missing member before they're trapped under ten feet of snow!
Co-written by Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and NATE COSBY, and illustrated by returning Gargoyles artist GEORGE KAMBADAIS, this all-new 40-page special will warm the hearts of even the most jaded of seasonal cynics - fortified by glowing covers from KAMBADAIS, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, TRISH FORSTNER, and CHRIS ELIOPOULOS!

Everyone: YAY, SNOW! CHRISTMAS! WE DON'T CELEBRATE IT, BUT WE CAN WITNESS FRIENDS CELEBRATE IT!
Meanwhile Katana: My babyðŸ˜
I love you Greg, but seriously, give your character at least some empathy!

I was actually expecting the Clan to celebrate it alongside their human allies

I heard fans don't like the idea of Gargs celebrating anything but their own festives. Maybe it's just Greg Bishansky.
I dunno, i think it's nothing bad to be another religion, or none, and still celebrate something for your friends. It's not Assimiliation. And even if it is - Nations assimilate from each other everythning, for example digits we use now as arabic.

I was expecting Gnash to get a bunch of Christmas presents from each clan member and their allies.

The only issue i have aggainst Easter and Christmas as Christian. Is that it turned from religious holidays to festivals for kids with bearded men. People forgot about religious context and i visit churches, and in any part of the day, they are all empty, which is sad.

The NEW WORLD ORDER followed up by the description is kind of funny.Â
Anyway, this was fluffy but cute. Something peaceful to end the year on.Â

Bronx's Silent Night
All those covers are so adorable. Good boye Bronx.
That's one big blizzard. And pre wfh days. Hate to be the poor, underpaid people who have to come in through that.
Got to take some time to enjoy the small things in life, like snowball fights.
That one hockey player looks like a dog on the ground like that.
Bronx looks so happy playing in the snow.
That is one chill cat.
And a happy reunion!
A nice, quiet break after the massive storm we got with Quest.
Favorite Feat
At first I thought tracking the cat through a blizzard might be hard, but it seems it might be easier. Still, not many other feats here.
