Demon Knights #20

I wonder if Octopi feel slandered and defamed because of Hentai? Because I can't see a fucking tentacle anymore without believing it's in search of an open orifice.

The Demon Knights have saved Themyscira by killing all the vampires. Although Cain escaped so he's sure to go make more vampires before The Demon Knights can lock him up inside of Andrew Bennett. And The Shining Knight has gone all Bladey and become a half-vampire or something. I think The Shining Knight's goal is to eventually be able to check every single box in the race category on the census form.

As thanks for saving Paradise, Hippolyta has some information for the Demon Knights concerning their quest.

At least when Sir Ystin turns into a vampire, she'll easily be able to walk amongst the humans since she has so much practice passing.

Hippolyta directs the Demon Knights to the Amazonian Library of Congress to learn about The Holy Grail.

Excerpt from Richard F. Burton's translation of the Kama Sutra: "The following women are not to be enjoyed: a leper; a lunatic; a woman turned out of caste; a woman who reveals secrets; a woman who publicly expresses desire for sexual intercourse; a woman who is extremely white; a woman who is extremely black; a bad-smelling woman; a woman who is a near relation; a woman who is a female friend; a woman who leads the life of an ascetic; and, lastly the wife of a relation, of a friend, of a learned Brahman, and of the king." So that leaves what? A young, mute, slightly tanned stranger that has just taken a bath and doesn't want to have sex with you?

Exoristos almost goes into the story told in Wonder Woman about how the Amazons mate. My only question is if they only get reading material from sailors, shouldn't it all be porn and Stephen King novels?

Turns out the Amazons write their own books based on information they extract from the sailors post-coitus and pre-drowning. One of the testimonials came from a man that supposedly knew the location of a chalice that grants the drinker immortality. They learn it's somewhere in the Mediterranean which is probably why they're being attacked by an immortal octopus on the cover. I'm just guessing it's immortal. If The Holy Grail has been tossed in the sea, does that mean that anybody drinking from the sea will become immortal? Perhaps all the sea creatures that pass within a certain radius of the underwater chalice are granted immortality from taking in the Holy Salt Water?

The Demon Knights are gifted a ship from the Amazons and they're off! And, um, two octopus-free days later, they're there!

Forget the octopus! I sense a giant iron man in their future!

Oops! Remember the octopus? It attacks from a crack in the cliff wall!

Speaking of Octopi, some of you may be too young to remember a time when the movie, The Goonies, did not feature an octopus. I saw it in the theaters and my favorite part of the movie at the time was at the end when the kids are asked what the scariest part of the adventure was and Data claims the scariest part was the octopus. I just thought he was making up shit and it made me laugh. Then years later when the Disney Channel was airing the movie constantly, they had put the Octopus scene back into the movie. And I had to apologize to Data for calling him a fucking liar all those years.

Of course the Octopus instantly goes for Xanadu because she's wearing those loose robes with easy access to two of an octopus's favorite orifices. Maybe this is the moment that Xanadu decided knowing the future would be a handy thing. At the very least, it could keep her from getting sushi shoved up her rectum.

It's a trap!

This monster's name is Archie and it's defeated when Exoristos pounds Ystin's sword into its face and Xanadu shoots a bolt of lightning into the sword causing Archie's head to explode. Behind the octopus is a blood covered door with Merlin's glyphs on it. One of them is the glyph for The Holy Grail!

Demon Knights #20 Rating: +1 Ranking. Perhaps their quest for The Holy Grail will actually be coming to an end as I've heard this comic has been cancelled because DC Comic fans apparently buy books simply based on the characters in them and not how well written the comic book is. And I get not buying this book simply because that gunt Madame Xanadu is in it! Although I thought Etrigan might be worth a few more fans.
