Taking over the scripting duties on DEMON KNIGHTS will be Robert Venditti, creator of THE SURROGATES and current writer on X-O MANOWAR.

Venditti had this to say about his upcoming stint on the magic-heavy book:

“Demon Knights is unlike any other series on the stands, and I’m going to do my best to continue that. For the next few issues, readers will find the team - if such a disparate band of misfits can be called a “team” — battling an enemy that reaches far back into the history of the DC Universe. And it’s going to be a battle from which everyone will emerge changed in profound ways.

Paul Cornell built a rich world and populated it with unique characters that any writer would want to get their hands on. Add to that a chance for me to work with artist Bernard Chang, and it was really a no-brainer. When editor Chris Conroy reached out to me, my first thought was, where do I sign?”

Robert Venditti starts his run on DEMON KNIGHTS with issue #16, due out in January.
