In August 2008, Greg Weisman announced that, due to Disney increasing its licensing fees, Slave Labor Graphics would not be renewing its license of "Gargoyles" after it ran out on August 31, 2008. The final two issues of "Bad Guys" and four of "Gargoyles" were released in the comic trades collecting both series in August 2009. Weisman also stated that SLG President Dan Vado has not given up on the "Gargoyles" franchise, and hopes to pursue the idea of "Gargoyles" graphic novels in the future.
