Boom! certainly hasn't published all homeruns, but they've had some strong books mixed in there in the last few years. Seems like they're on the upswing these days.

Michael Alan Nelson has authored a sizable body of work for Boom! - primarily (possibly entirely) horror-leaning books (e.g. '28 Days Later' series and the 'Fall of Cthulhu' family of titles; I particularly loved 'Hexed' which he wrote and was drawn by Emma Rios) - but I've found him to be a thoroughly competent and enjoyable (and overlooked) writer, so I'm checking this one out. I'm glad Nelson is getting more visible work, though I worry he's been dealt an unfortunate hand at DC with the projects he's been put on over there.

I was really saddened by the cancellations of FRANKENSTEIN and I, VAMPIRE - both of which I enjoyed as solid, quality books - but the loss of DEMON KNIGHTS is much deeper. This one hurts. DEMON KNIGHTS was special and unique, for all the reasons Sara named and then some. Last night after learning of the cancellation I re-read issues 1-10 and enjoyed them just as much, if not more, than the first time through. I hope it goes out on a great note. It will leave a hole in my monthly reading that nothing else can fill.

I'll echo what others have said with hope that perhaps Etrigan could turn up in JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK. It wouldn't forgive the loss, but it would be a tiny consolation. Also would add a potentially explosive dynamic into the JLD since both Jason Blood and Etrigan have complicated history with Madame X.
