Rhyming Again
Well, once again it’s Demon Knights time,
Which means another review that’s in rhyme.
I’m sure that this gimmick will get old pretty quick
But you loved it last time, so for now’s it’s gonna stick.
When we last left our heroes, they were pretty much f*cked
Between the Horde and the Hell Army, they’re sh*t out of luck
Xanadu’s quick thinking helps them flee the scene
Just as Etrigan escapes the Questing Queen.
Hey, Etrigan is rhyming, isn’t that just great?
That’s my job now pal, this is too little too late
He returns to the devil and gets down on his knees,
But slick Lucy looks at him all like, “B*tch please.”
So Etrigan tells his boss to take this job and shove it,
Oh this comic, did I mention how much I love it.
Back with our heroes, Merlin’s Corpse starts shining bright,
Because he’s summoning King Arthur into the fight.
Vandal sees Arthur fighting the devil,
And thinks, I think I can fight on their level
He thinks Historians will love a battle so viscious,
Go ahead dude, I’m sure they’re delicious.
Merlin starts talking, a feat for dead guys,
He wants water, the kind that falls from the sky
Al Jabr uses his gizmo and makes it Rain on dem hoes
Making Lucifer vulnerable to King Arthur’s blows.
Etrigan Snatches Merlin, Vengeance at last!
Then Merlin zaps him and he falls flat on his ass.
Now that Jason and Etrigan are in the same place,
Jason punches the Demon right in his face.
Lucifer is losing so he goes back to hell
And the queen and her boyfriend depart as well
Then Merlin starts screaming, his pain hitting the hardest,
Don’t worry, he’ll be fine when he gets back to the TARDIS
Yes, I’m still on about that, It’s sort of what I do.
I believe everything to be in canon with Doctor Who
If you doubt he’s the Doctor, then you’re in for frustration,
Because in the next panel he goes through his next regeneration
He’s all young now, he’s a pretty good looking man,
If he shaved he’d look a bit like Paul McGann
Then Merlin puts Etrigan back with Jason
Because they’ve a Destiny that they need to be facin’
So then the team is sent back to Earth once again
Only to part ways, there’s a bittersweet end.
What Works:
A great book as always well worth your time
And hey, I got to review it in rhyme
What Doesn’t:
The ending was sad and a little bit weird
Especially when the next arc jumps ahead 30 years.
I feel like there’s more to be done in this time,
But either way, I’ll be ready to rhyme
Overall:
4.5/5
A solid issue with only minor flaws,
Now y’all enjoy your upcoming visit from Santa Claus
Hopefully he’ll bring you your hearts delight
Like a trade paperback of Demon Knights.
