Demon Knights
''Demon Knights'' is a DC Comics title launched in 2011 as part of that company's line-wide title relaunch, The New 52. It is a team title featuring Etrigan, Madame Xanadu, Shining Knight and others. Its main difference to other team titles, such as the Justice League, is that this team is based in the Medieval period of the DC Universe history. Its initial writer is Paul Cornell, with art by Diogenes Neves. Publication history In the planning stages of The New 52, Paul Cornell was asked to write an Etrigan title. At his request this became a team title set in medieval times as this was of more interest to him, and a more fitting period for Etrigan to operate. Cornell also stated that a love of the film '' The Magnificent Seven'' is an influence on the title, and that it is a team title as he is more interested in the interactions between characters, rather than any scene or period. It has been confirmed that this team is the ancestral version of Stormwatch. Characters * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
