review 1: I liked this one, but it seemed to lose the fact that it was about all 7 'team members'. More focus was on Etrigan/Jason Blood and Madame Xanadu/Nimue than the rest. I'm hoping that the series gets to continue, and we'll have more in depth looks at all the characters: Al Jabr; Sir Ystin, Vandal Savage, Exoristos, and the Horsewoman.This story features more about Merlin, Avalon, and King Arthur, which seems to have links to many of the characters. It's an interesting time period for sure, and it beats reading about super-criminals for sure!It's like a nice D&D-light. This storyline continues the quest begun in Vol. 1, this time, to travel to the ruins of Camelot and stop the evil that has taken root.Some familiar faces appear along the way (especially for those with any kno... morewledge of Camelot).A fun ride, and I'd much rather this than yet another rehash of a superhero origin to be honest.Worth reading, looking forward to Vol. 3!
review 2: Cornell’s Demon Knights continues to be a fun Medieval action-adventure that’s totally different from anything else in DC’s stable. I especially enjoy his fidelity to the real DC continuity, offering subtle ties to everything from Vertigo’s Madame Xanadu to Morrison’s Seven Soldiers and Vertigo’s Animal Man.Jason Blood and the Demon get some particularly good character development in this volume that I’m interested in seeing pay out in the future. less
