The Pun That Explains The New 52

As per usual, I'm really wrong here.

But say this out loud (quietly, if you're at work):

"Demon Knights"="Daemonites"

Say it again.

Now think about the other book Paul Cornell writes, and where it's crossed over with other books in the nu52. And notice where Grifter made a cameo this week (no, not in his own title, silly). And consider the mysterious "they" who split the timelines, as revealed in Flashpoint, and not in the face's theory of the true identity of Ms. Monitor.

Further: if they're already going to use Darkseid for the first Justice League arc, how do you top that? It's like using Galactus for the first Fantastic Four story...there's nowhere left to go, unless...and he is the artist of JL, so...

Holy crap, I've discovered the Rosetta Stone of the nu52!!!

Then again, maybe it really is just an inadvertent pun...

And there was me thinking Paul Cornell was simply a big fan of 80's German speed metal band Accept

Still, wouldn't it be cool if you were right...
