It's fallen to Madame Xanadu and Jason Blood, the man with a monster inside him, to stand in their way–though the demon Etrigan has no interest in protecting anyone or anything other than himself!

For the most part Demon Knights is a fun romp through various fantasy tropes with an emphasis on Arthurian legend. We have the standard fantasy characters here: barbarian, sorceress, amazon, knight, etc. The 'team' comes together by chance when the various players are trapped in a village that is in the path of an invading evil queen.

The book is complex enough that the characters all have more than one reason for everything they do - and all motivations are not for the greater good. As another r...more

When DC rebooted, I gave Demon Knights a chance for the first 2 issues and then dropped the series. There was just far too much exposition, Paul Cornell wanting to tell you instead of show you what was happening. Diogenes artwork seemed sloppy and inconsistent to boot and I figured it wasn't worth keeping up with.

Now that I've read the first six issues altogether in this trade, Demon Knights works on a variety of levels that impresses me more than I could have thought possible. Maybe it was the...more

In the midst of the Dark Ages, seven strangers are forced to work together to defend a village from an advancing army. Of course, since this is a DC comic, & a supernatural one at that, the strangers are more than perhaps meets the eye. We have a demon, a sorceress, an amazon, an immortal, & several others who are more than normal humans.

Demon Knights gives Cornell an opportunity to play with a variety of comic & fantasy tropes. Our protagonists are more grey hats than white hats, ea...more

Nor is it a secret that I'm a big fan of DC's supernatural characters. So a combination of the two should be a sort of perfect storm for me. And while I'm intrigued by the story being developed by Cornell, Neves and Albert and the rest of the creators ... I'm not completely sold yet. This volume left me feeling like there was something missing.

Part of it might be my misunderstanding of the intended concept, I'll admit. I thought going in that this was going to be set either in Camelot or slightly after Camelot's fall, rather than several centuries later. I was a bit disappointed when I realized just how big a time jump the narrative was taking. Part of it might be that of course it's an origin story, and so seven issues are taken to establish the characters and their conflicts (this, from what I've been told, has been the norm for The New 52, especially for the team books) and while that's interesting, the story ends up feeling a bit stagnant.

Now, what I liked about the book: the combination of new and revamped characters. Jack Kirby's Jason Blood / Etrigan The Demon in a love-triangle with the Matt Wagner version of Madame Xanadu? Intriguing. A Visigoth-era Vandal Savage, bulked out and more than a bit devious? Not my favorite take on the character, but it'll do. New characters Al Jabr (the Muslim inventor), Exoristes (an exiled Amazon who looks an awful lot like the pre-52 version of Queen Hippolyta), and The Horsewoman (nameless and with a mysterious malady)? All interesting enough to make me want to know more about them. The only weak link for me is that they're using the Grant Morrison version of The Shining Knight. I'm one of those who thought his Seven Soldiers was a garbled mess and the female-pretending-to-be-male Sir Ystin felt more garbled than the rest. I don't usually have a problem with "legacy" characters carrying on former heroes names ... but this is one time I wish we'd have been given the original version of the character. Maybe he will make an appearance eventually. There's no rule saying there can't be more than one Shining Knight running around. (I'd also been hoping to see what Cornell might do with the mute Brian Kent, the Silent Knight, but he's not present either).

As for the plot, I'm probably not spoiling anything to say that most of the book takes place in a beseiged town, and that the Knights end up fending off the army of someone called The Questing Queen, who seems to have taken Mordred as her lover and kept him alive long after Camelot fell. I won't spoil what the Questing Queen is actually in search of, though.

While I don't think this was the strongest debut of a new comic series, I enjoyed it enough that I'll pick up Volume Two whenever DC gets around to collecting the next seven issues.

I'm not gonna lie, I started reading Demon Knights for Etrigan. I've always liked Etrigan, but I've never really read any of his stories.

Anyway, I liked this book. It was a little confusing at times and it took a while for things to get started, but when it finally got the pace up, it was pretty good. What took me by surprise was that Vandal Savage was in it (it really shouldn't have because he's immortal. I don't know why I didn't expect him to be in it).

Demon Knights was another title I knew pretty much nothing about (except for running into Etrigan in DC Universe Online). Not only does it stand apart from other DC Comics titles in the New 52 range because it has a medieval setting (not counting the upcoming Sword of Sorcery), but it also appears to have a refreshing amount of humour (making it feel more like Army of Darkness than anything else). It will be interesting to see what the medieval equivalent of superheroes is going to be like.

It will be interesting to see what the medieval equivalent of superheroes is going to be like.

Paul Cornell is also responsible for the writing duties of Stormwatch (another New 52 title I have reviewed in the past) and Demon Knights could not be further from this title. Where Stormwatch had a certain feel to it that reminded me of the work he previously did on the Doctor Who TV series, Demon Knights feels much lighter and a lot more accessible. The story-line for the first Collected Edition does borrow elements from Seven Samurai, but Cornell manages to spin it into something very entertaining.

Both Diogenes Neves and Oclair Albert have previously worked on the Brightest Day/Blackest Night story-arch (albeit on different titles), although neither of them can really be considered a big name in the world of comics. That said, they have given the title a look and feel that certainly matches the writing by Cornell and makes it a great-looking comic to read. It might be a bit polished, but I think that there are already plenty of sword and sorcery type titles out there that are dark and brooding.

As mentioned before, Demon Knights has quite a lot of humour and I will definitely keep checking it out each month. It is refreshingly different from any of the other DC Comics titles I have read so far, so if you are looking for something new then you should really give Demon Knights a try. Not to mention that it will probably also appeal to people who are not really into superheroes but do like the whole sword and sorcery thing. Who knows; some people might even see a role-playing campaign in it!(less)

I had never found the characters of Etrigan or Madame Xanadu at all interesting, so I went into issue #1 fairly certain I would never make it to issue #2. Little did I suspect that I would one day find myself eagerly awaiting the second volume of the trade paperback series!

Set in the Dark Ages. "Demon Knights" finds seven warriors trying to defend a village from being destroyed by the evil Questing Queen in her search for...well, that would be telling! For me, the greatest thing about this series by far was the wonderful work writer Paul Cornell did with the seven protagonists. Sorceress Madame Xanadu is sassy and shows far more personality here than I've ever seen her exhibit before. Etrigan is truly demonic, which causes that much more torment for Jason Blood, the man forced to share a body with him. The noble transgender Shining Knight from Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers maxiseries is back in all his/her glory. Immortal JLA nemesis Vandal Savage joins the heroes, yet he never seems a contradiction from the villain we know he will one day become. And then there are Cornell's new characters. Middle Eastern inventor Al-Jabr is brilliant and often come across as a Dark Ages version of Batman. Exoristos is an arrogant yet sympathetic Amazon warrior. And then there's The Horsewoman...not much is revealed about her, yet she is charismatic enough to still be a powerful presence.

The interaction between the seven Demon Knights is fascinating, especially when some of their backstories are explored. I particularly enjoyed the dream sequence in which we learn more about Shining Knight and her/his connection to the Questing Queen's machinations. Another stand-out moment for me was the revelation that when Etrigan is released into our world, Jason Blood takes his place in Hell. I don't know if this particular idea had ever been explored before, but it definitely added some pathos to Jason Blood's character. And the series is loaded with action. With dragons (both natural and mechanical), magical duels, archers and catapults, Cornell injects all the classic elements for an epic fantasy series.

I did have some minor grievances with the first volume of the Demon Knights series. For one thing, the plot was a little too basic for my liking. Seven issues was too much to dedicate to an evil queen trying to get through a village. Granted, Cornell does weave in some compelling subplots, but I still found myself wishing there was a bit more meat to the main story. Also, I thought Cornell got a little too over-the-top at times, particularly in the final chapter (I don't want to get too specific, suffice to say I almost caused severe eye damage from rolling them too hard when we learned what Jason Blood had gone to Hell to obtain). And where Al-Jabr and Horsewoman were so likeable, I would have liked to have seen them get more screen time. Too often, they were relegated to the background to give more time to Vandal Savage & Exoristos. I can only hope Al-Jabr & Horsewoman get more of the spotlight in the second volume. I did love this book, but these qualms were enough to make me deduct a star.

"Demon Knights" was one of the few books that did exactly what the New 52 was supposed to do...it brought in a new reader and made a hardcore fan out of me!

A more-than-solid addition to the new 52. I didn't pick this up despite the great reviews because my pull list was already quite big; should have dropped Catwoman and picked this up.

The core 7 characters felt pretty well introduced and set up for new adventures. I look forward to seeing them fleshed out even further, especially the Shining Knight.

A good solid piece by Paul Cornell. Between his work at Marvel and DC (and yes I know he just left DC in a snit) he has shown his strength lies in tales told with a British setting, or at least a non-U.S. setting (see the very good Knight & Squire and the good MI-13).

The overall tale borrows heavily from the Seven Samurai. Seven warriors are brought together by circumstances and they end up defending a small village. Cornell creates two new characters, and I very much liked the Muslim Al Jab...more

Writer: Paul Cornell | Art: Diogenes Neves, Oclair Albert, Mike Choi, Robson Rocha | Cover: Tony S. Daniel | Published: DC Comics | Collects: Demon Knights #1-7

I’m going to be honest with you here. I picked up the trade paperback of Demon Knights on a bit of a whim. I didn’t mind the first issue but when read alone, it was pretty confusing and I didn’t really have a clue what was going on. However, when read as a Collected Volume, I dove right into Seven Against the Dark and really enjoyed it, reading it in one sitting which is the norm for most graphic novels that I read unless they’re Watchmen or Knightfall size, in which case I have to read them in multiple sittings.

Another reason why I picked up Demon Knights Vol. 1: Seven Against the Dark on a bit of a whim was because of the fact I’d never encountered this age of DC Comics before. Not once, and the portrayal of Merlin in the first chapter was something that I wasn’t really used to at all. But did the graphic novel work? Hell yes. In fact, it did more than work. You can count me on board for this series and I can tell you know that my risk in picking up this title paid off.

Set in the Dark Ages of the DC Universe, a barbarian horde is massing to crush civilization. It’s fallen to Madame Xanadu and Jason Blood, the man with a monster inside him, to stand in their way–though the demon Etrigan has no interest in protecting anyone or anything other than himself! It’ll take more than their own power to stop an army fueled by bloodlust and dark sorcery, and some very surprising heroes–and villains–will have no choice but to join the fray!

Etrigan was the only character that I’d heard of before in this collection and I’ve got no idea as to how the other of the Seven fit into the Demon Knights. You can tell that most comics readers are going to be taking a risk in buying Seven Against the Dark mainly because of what I’ve just mentioned. Etrigan isn’t well known, and the Seven that he fights with in this collection are even less so. But I’m glad that Paul Cornell has not only managed to pull off a wonderfully told, Dungeons and Dragons style fantasy epic – the awesomeness that is only made more brilliant by the stunning artwork provided by Neves, and to a certain extent Tony S. Daniel with the cover, which was one of the main reasons why I picked up the book in the first place – I mean, how hard is it to resist a book with a cover like that?
