In general, all I have to say is this is still the best book in the DC-Nu. Read Full Review
The title is a fantasy fan's dream come true, but it also has great plotting and character work that would enrich any story, regardless of genre. Read Full Review
Demon Knights #5 might not push the ongoing plot forward much, but it does still entertain with some solid character building and interaction. I still stand by my assessment that Demon Knights is one of the best "happy surprises" of the New 52 relaunch. Read Full Review
Despite the confusion, this is a book you should be reading. The artwork is amazing, and this seems to be a true labor of love for writer Paul Cornell. These are some really cool characters, and it's a book you should give a shot, especially this and the next issue, but only if you like awesomeness. I highly recommend this issue and this series!

The thing about Demon Knights that gets me the most is that this is a smart concept, but the execution feels less exciting and more run-of-the-mill. There are a few moments of greatness to this book " particularly when the roguish Al-Jabr gets the better out of one of the Horde's emissaries, or a nice-looking panel of Jason Blood muttering to himself in his tent " but there's a breakdown in core concept that's keeping this book from where is deserves to be. Make no mistake, this could be a good book... I want to like this book. But with too many characters being shoehorned in too early without a core tenet to bind them " not to mention artwork that compounds the cluttered nature of this story " it's hard to put a finger on what could be done to fix this book. Lesser demons, indeed. Read Full Review
