Demon Knights, Volume 1: Seven Against the Dark by Paul Cornell
4.0
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.
I wish, though, that in the 7 issues there could have been slightly more than "The Horde! They approach!" and the villain did kind of disappear in a cliche manner.
The best thing, by far, is how many female characters there are (4 main ones, right?). And they all are extremely diverse and have a part to play in saving the day. This makes me so happy, compared with SOME of the other series out there.
Overall, an 8 out 10. I will definitely pick up volume 2 and maybe even the #0 issue. Recommend if one is looking to expand outside of traditional superheroes.
