    Seven Against the Dark last edited by AmishAvenger on 03/30/20 08:01PM View full history

    Set in the Dark Ages of the DC Universe, a barbarian horde is massing to crush civilization. It's fallen to Madame Xanadu and Jason Blood, the man with a monster inside him, to stand in their way – though the demon Etrigan has no interest in protecting anyone or anything other than himself! It'll take more than their own power to stop an army fueled by bloodlust and dark sorcery, and some very surprising heroes – and villains – will have no choice but to join the fray!

    Four centuries ago, the last night of Camelot. King Arthur's body is being taken away for safe keeping, and Excalibur is given back to the Lady of the Lake. Meanwhile inside the burning castle, Merlin puts the Demon Etrigan into Jason from Norwich, permanently connecting the two.

    Later in the Dark Ages, The Questing Queen and her army are marching across the country taking anything they want from the people of the land. Jason, Xanadu and Vandal Savage are at a tavern when the army arrives and Jason transforms into Etrigan. This calls the attention of the Questing Queen who sends dragons to destroy the city.

    Medieval Magic 0

    The Story: Set in medieval times, a group of seven heroes must come together to stop a barbarian horde.  My Thoughts:I don't know why I didn't look into this series last month when it debuted. This series is awesome. With medieval times, magic and dark sorcery how could it not be awesome? While I haven't heard of some of these characters, Paul Cornell does a great job introducing newer readers to them in such a phenomenal and accessible way. Each character is intriguing and has their own voice a...

    Demon Knights and Magical Days. 0

    This series had a a feel of Matt Wagner's Madame Xanadu run for Vertigo and if you enjoyed this issue I suggest you go out and pick up the Vertigo trades.The Demon holds a special place in my heart because I first cared for the character in Alan Moore's landmark Swamp Thing run, when Etrigan was the rhyming demon. With the new 52 being "accessible", I think Paul Cornell does a good job of establishing the key players and working with the classic literature characters set in the DCU's historical ...
