DEMON KNIGHTS #6
February 9, 2012 11:37 am It gladdens my withered black heart to see this book getting some love - I think it's been one of the standouts of the New 52 since it launched. And that cover is so good.....!

DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 1, 2012 9:44 am I wish I could be more excited for this than I am. It just feels like a pretty crass use of the Watchmen "brand" to attract more readers, & even some of the talent involved doesn't dispel that feeling. Mind you, being a dutiful little lemming, I will give them a look.
