From the
DCU Review:
Demon Knights is typical fantasy fare. The Questing Queen wants to conquer Alba Sarum. A small village stands in her way. She sends some dragons to raise some Hell, and Hell they raise when the Demon, Etrigan, and a motley crew of other medieval heroes show up to fight back. Not so much a team, as a group that happened to gather in the wrong place at the wrong time, the members of the Demon Knights are common fantasy staples: a magician, a demon, a knight, two warriors, and a woman on horseback. The enemy is a queen on a quest, the wizard Mordru, and a bunch of dragons. Everything you'd expect to find in a high fantasy story is here. If you love high fantasy, you'll probably love this book.
Vandal Savage's hunger for rare dragon meat is funny, especially the expression on his face when he gets splattered in exploding dragon bits. As are Etrigan's attempts at rhyming. Either Cornell is poking fun at that, or he's not very good with rhymes. I get the sense though that he is subtly poking fun at the whole fantasy genre. There are some moments that are heavily exaggerated but fun.
Demon Knights doesn't really hook me as a reader. It's a decent book, but nothing to really suck me in. I don't feel any compulsion to care about the characters or the fate of Alba Sarum. It just may not be a story I can get into. Perhaps if the plot was a bit tighter and flowed quicker. After two issues, I don't real feel any sense of a team forming here. Each member seems to really just be doing their own thing to protect the village.
