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:

• Exiled in Geeksville (positive)

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.

Paul Cornell Tweets

Paul Cornell tweeted some interesting Demon Knights-related info recently.

In response to this tweet, he informed us that Demon Knights takes place in the 9th Century.

In the conversation ending with this tweet, Cornell reassures a fan that any changes to Madame Xanadu post-Flashpoint aren't being done willy-nilly.

IGN interviews Paul Cornell

IGN posted an interview with Paul Cornell, writer of Demon Knights. Most of what he said has appeared before in previous interviews, but I saw at least two new pieces of information. First, the powers that be at DC had initially approached Cornell about doing a Demon solo series, but it was his idea to make it a team book. Also, we may or may not see a medieval Swamp Thing in an upcoming issue.
