  Comicosity - Matt Santori

  Aug 27, 2013

  A fairly unique take on a character whose roots arise right out of Gotham soil, Talon does so well what very few creators have managed over the years: add a new protagonist or villain to the Batman Universe that seems made to last. After a literal avalanche of Bat-allies marching through the titles for the last two decades, it seems to me Calvin Rose has a unique enough beginning and foundation in one of the best Batman tales of the last decade to make a permanent home in the mythos. An adventure emphasizing speed, conspiracy, duplicitous alliances and escape artist mentality, Talon is highly recommended for those who want to try out something original for the New 52 that captures a flavor no other book has at the moment.
