Green Lantern Corps #20- Everyone now knows I haven't been
that impressed with the “Warth of The First Lantern” crossover. However my low
view of the crossover has now went off the deep end because somehow DC had
managed to release this issue before Green Lantern #20! In case you do not know; Green Lantern #20 was
supposed to be the end of the “Warth of The First Lantern” crossover while Green
Lantern Corps #20 is the epilogue. Yes; I have the epilogue but there's no sight of the end of the crossover. And comics companies wonder why readers hate crossovers!
Demon Knights #20- Ever since writer Robert Venditti took over
the series, it has been swinging from good to bad. This issue of Demon Knights
is strictly in the "good" section. The issue starts with the Knights
resting in Themyscira after the battle against Cain's vampire horde. From
there, there's a journey to the library of the Amazons before a trip to an unchartered island
for the Holy Grail. Of course, there's a monster with tentacles on the island who they have to kill. In short, this issue is pure fantasy goodness. For once, I feel Venditti got a good handle on the characters with the interplay between the Knights being excellent and the humor shining through. The art from Chad Harden works well with the story. In short, the Demon Knights are back!
