    This was the first New 52 book I've read. This is early Tynion, right after co-writing the back-ups on Snyder's Batman. While not perfect, it showed strong potential in Tynion for me because he had me very invested in the story of a reformed Talon. The last three issues, while not bad, were easily the weakest, but those weren't written by Tynion, and thankfully, are disconnected from the main story. I found the art to be at its best when Guillem March was on the title, but overall, the art was very good. Calvin Rose is a character that absolutely needs to make a comeback.
