A good read with an interesting take on the post-Arthur mythos. There are some very funny references to modern times and the characters are interesting. The main gripe I have with it is that it's very similar to Sword of Darkness. The plotline is fairly identical & the main characters have very similar traits as well. If you've read Sword of Darkness then you sort of know exactly how this is going to turn out. Other than the art is good once again & the pace is fairly efficient. Overall a decent read and worth a look.

Captivating writting as always from Ms. Kenyon. Wounderful art work. Although I am readingmore and more e-books it is products like this that keeps me purchasing "real" books as well as virtual books.

Adapting a text to a graphic novel is extremely difficult. However, I will have to say that Sherrilyn Kenyon's adaptation of Knight of Darkness captures the essence of the novel. As a matter of fact I almost like the graphic novel better than the book.
