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.

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.
