When Does "Gargoyles: Quest" (2024) Take Place?
"Gargoyles: Quest" is a fantasy comic-book written by Greg Weisman that first released April 17th, 2024. So when is "Quest" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because in issue #1 "Chapter One: Questions" Ruby-Mae Li says, "A bunch of us who watched your trial on T.V., well... ...we found each other on the internet." so it must take place after the internet became a commonly used public service in North America during the early 1990s. The "trial" referred to is an event in "Gargoyles" #9 v3 "Here in Manhattan Chapter Nine: Your Witness" (2023), which takes place on May 16th, 1997 AD. So it must be during or after May of 1997 AD.
1997 AD

Furthermore, in issue #2 "Chapter Two: Quo Vadis Cum Hoc?" Shahrizad teasingly says, "Paolo Prospero, it's Nineteen-Ninety-Seven!"
More specifically, the main action of issue #1 "Chapter One: Questions" opens with a panel including a time and place setting textbox reading "July 19, 1997. Park Manor Hotel. Manhattan, New York." so it's probably July of 1997 AD at the beginning.
The final issue, #5 "Chapter Five: Queen of All She Surveys" finishes very soon after another time setting textbox: "November 28, 1997." so it's probably November of 1997 AD at the end.
Additionally, issue #1 begins with a prologue that partway contains its own textbox with the words "June 12, 1997. Rio de la Plata. Buenos Aires, Argentina." in it. So we know it’s most likely June of 1997 AD at this earlier point.
