I disagree entirely with the comments centering around the comprehensibility of this series. While I understand that many people are unfamiliar with the British slag Cornell employs (I am as much a novice as everyone else), I feel the British feel of the series provides almost all of its charm. To be honest, I don't find the series as incomprehensible as many others do, so maybe it does not bother me. I think the series does a wonderful job of distinguishing the differences between similar incarnations of characters on opposite sides of the Atlantic. From the fact that Beryl's secret identity is known by her next-door neighbor but not the community as a whole to the Knight's request for the most recent magazine devote to castle dwellers, this series is charming and hilarious. Moreover, Cornell's notes at the end of the issue are great. I find Knight and Squire a clever, Silver-Age style book. I think what troubles a lot of people who find difficulty with the nature of this book is that it is a purposely British version of a beloved character. These aren't true British superheroes - it isn't as if this mini was ripped from the pages of 2000 AD. These are deliberately created versions of Batman and Robin who are being even more Anglicized with this miniseries, and consequently, its somewhat off-putting. Fair enough, I can buy that. Nonetheless, I think it is important to point out that British comic fans have devoured American reprints for years and I'm sure they have had to stop to think through our American slang, syntax, and diction. If you take a moment to review what you are reading and use your inferencing abilities, I think the issue makes a lot more sense and, hopefully, becomes much more entertaining. Or, people might simply not like the series - and that's fine too.
