So issue #1 is still rocking four Baby Etrigan Heads:

Comics Nexus has ranked the entire Demon Knights team as its top "character" of the DC relaunch.

Grant at the Weekly Crisis names Demon Knights as the third best title of the DCnU.

Demon Knights #1 Sales Figures

So Diamond posted their top 100 comics for September. Our very own Demon Knights #1 came in at number 72, (68 dollar rank) with a sales index of 19.87, which means that for every 100 Batman #1's sold, 19.87 Demon Knights #1's were sold.

Four Baby Etrigan Heads.

Check out this interview with Demon Knights inker Oclair Albert at Jazma Online.

Interesting side note: My Google Reader really likes to throw in articles about Wake Forest athletics (the Demon Deacons).

So, reviews just keep piling in and piling in some more. I imagine this will slow down in future months, as this is a #1 and all. However, I am kind of liking this format of review linkblogging, i.e., multiple posts, numbered in a foreign language. So we'll do that.

Anywho, here goes:

• Apoch's Metal Review (3/10)
• Essential Webcomics (A)
• Exiled in Geeksville (positive)
• Hero Sandwich (positive)
• Nerd Reactor (B+)
• Planned Banter (positive)
• Savage Critics (positive)
• Walker of Worlds (positive)
• X-Man's Comic Blog (5.5/10)

Still rocking four Baby Etrigan Heads.

Note that there's still a bunch of podcast/vodcast reviews sitting in my Google Reader that I have yet to listen to/watch.

It's not really a review, but PopMatters posted this discussion about some of the New 52 titles, and Demon Knights gets mentioned quite a bit.

Bleeding Cool asks why no one's really freaking out about that exploding baby. Also, they note that a second printing will be released on October 12.

In other news, Paul Cornell did a poll on his blog asking fans what their favorite Demon Knights character was. Horsewoman won.

Not a review, but Comics Alliance has been comparing pre- to post-Flashpoint DC continuity. Their Demon Knights segment focuses on Sir Ystin and his/her differences from the Grant Morrison Seven Soldiers version.

Also, Demon Knights #1 was iFanboy 's second highest rated title and second highest pick of the week from Week 2 of the New 52.

Demon Knights #1 Annotations

Finally -- original content!

One of the main features of this site will be annotations for new issues of Demon Knights as well as comic books from the past featuring the stars of Demon Knights. Although I have an encyclopedic knowledge of some corners of the DC Universe *cough*Flash*cough*, this is not one of them. Therefore, I will be googling and researching furiously to compile these, until eventually I do have an encyclopedic knowledge of this corner, too!

I'll be linking to various wikis where you can learn more about each topic. For the non-DC-specific stuff, I'll link to Wikipedia. For the DC-specific stuff, I'll link to the DC Comics Database. Here we go!

Demon Knights #1 Reviews, Part Deux

So obviously Thursday is too early to post all the reviews of a comic book which comes out on Wednesday. I'm new at this, so bear with me! Maybe Friday is too early too. We'll see. I'll zero in on a day eventually. Also, there are probably a great deal more reviews than usual, seeing as this is a #1 and all. Not just any old #1, but part of the New 52.

So here's the new stuff.  See this post for more.

Demon Knights #1 Reviews

Demon Knights #1 is out!  Of course, as previously mentioned, I live in BFE and haven't gotten this week's comics yet, but other folks out there across the world wide webs have.  Here are their thoughts on this issue.

Notice that I've been tracking the star rating that reviewers have been giving the issue, and when there is no star rating, whether the review was positive or negative. Why? Well, I'm planning on doing a Rotten Tomatoes-esque composite rating of each issue. This issue's rating (thus far):

  

That's four out of five Baby Etrigan Heads!
