Description: Demon Knights is a title that is going to place during the Dark Ages of the DCNU, where a team of seven supernatural knights battle against forces of impending doom. Essentially, a “super team” book in the time of knights and magic, or in the creator’s own words, “Swords and Sorcery and Superheroes”. But just because it takes place hundreds of years in the past doesn’t mean there won’t be any familiar faces. The leader of the team looks to be the rhyming Demon Etrigan, and he’ll be joined by such characters as the immortal Vandal Savage and the mystic Madame Xanadu. But along with the “old” characters, we can expect to see original characters created to take advantage of the unique setting. With a diverse set of characters, a unique and interesting setting, and plenty of action, Demon Knights looks to be a fairly straightforward swords and sorcery ser- ARE THOSE ****ING DINOSAURS?
THOSE ARE ****ING DINOSAURS
The Creative Team: For DC recently, he’s done a run on Action Comics that starred Lex Luthor going around the DCU being the bastard that he is. It was nothing short of spectacular. He also wrote a well-received miniseries called Knight & Squire that was a take on London’s versions of Batman & Robin. It was also good, if almost incomprehensively British. He’s good with characterization and he’s got a sense of humor, too. He’s also done some work on Marvel’s British superheroes. So yeah, Cornell is pretty great at what he does.
Neves is the penciller, and he’s done a bit of work for Marvel on X-Men and New Mutants and for DC on Green Arrow. He also looks like he approves of some fanservice here and there. Albert is the inker, and the most notable thing he’s done is the inking for Blackest Night. They aren’t really big names, but their art looks pretty solid. The preview art for the series looks great. Combine the art with a great writer and you’ve got a recipe for success.
Ease of Entry: Like I said, it takes place hundreds of years before what’s “currently” going on in the DCU. While some long-standing DC characters like Vandal Savage will be appearing, they most likely aren’t going to be bogged down by tons of history. It might be a little daunting to see a big cast with not a lot of explanation of who each one is, but it should be mitigated by the fresh new takes on the characters the setting allows. Should be fairly straightforward.
Recommendation: Absolutely if you are a fan of high fantasy or want to see something other than modern-day supershenanigans. And even if you’re not, give it a shot. In all honesty, it’ll probably need as much support as it can get, and this is one of the most unique concepts to come out of the relaunch.
