KNIGHT TERRORS
The Big Sleep
EVENT Horror is always a tricky proposition when it comes to superhero comics. If the mix of tones is successful, you’ve got an entertaining fusion of dark subtexts, chilling concepts and pulpy action. If it isn’t, the result can feel like two genres have been messily welded together.
Such is the case with DC’s latest event comic Knight Terrors, and while this sprawling event isn’t a total misfire, it largely fails to pull off the mix of horror thrills and full-tilt action it’s aiming for.
