Welcome to another explosive episode of the Comic Crusaders Podcast!

Your host, Al Mega, is joined by the insanely talented Kane Gallagher—a rising force in the world of indie comics, pulling double duty as both writer and artist of the gritty, no-holds-barred dystopian epic, THE UNDERCLASS!

What happens when society breaks down, power shifts to the brutal elite, and the people at the bottom say “enough”?
The Underclass is a graphic novel that doesn’t pull punches—dealing with themes of inequality, rebellion, survival, and justice, all wrapped in raw, visceral artwork and a story that’ll stick with you long after you close the cover.

• Kane’s journey from inspiration to creation

• The challenges (and rewards) of being both writer and artist

• Deep dive into the Underclass world: themes, characters, and message

• The Kickstarter process: what Kane’s learned and what you can expect

• Exclusive scoop on campaign rewards, stretch goals, and future plans

About Gargoyles: Demona #1

A THOUSAND YEARS OF ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE!

After kicking off with a special prologue story in Dynamite Entertainment’s Free Comic Book Day issue #0, the long-awaited tale of Goliath’s former love and sworn enemy of the Manhattan Clan gets underway in earnest with a return to the Dark Ages and the aftermath of the destruction of Castle Wyvern!

The year is 1093, and the now-immortal Demona has become a lonely and hunted creature. Bereft of both clan and home after her betrayal of Scotland’s king, she wanders south to Northumberland in search of a safe haven – only to find that her old nemesis, Canmore, is raiding the city.

Canmore’s destruction is visited upon human and Gargoyle alike, and when she discovers the depths of his cruelty and the fate of her kind at his hands, Demona’s fury sets in motion a cycle of vengeance that will last for centuries – and may yet consume the entire world!

Written by Gargoyles creator GREG WEISMAN and illustrated by acclaimed artist – and veteran of the original animated series – FRANK PAUR, this first chapter of the brand-new, centuries-spanning saga Gargoyles: Demona features cover art for the ages from PAUR, MEGHAN HETRICK, MARK SPEARS, and JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!
