    Looks like Things Improved While I was Gone

    I wasn't a fan of the first arc and between DC, Marvel, and Image I have to be selective in what I read because I don't have infinite money. I am stretching things a bit this month to great all of the Night of the Owls. I have to say that Daniel's writing on TEC has improved. I really enjoyed this issue. I liked who it was focused on and where it takes place. I hadn't read the solicits or descriptions so I was wondering how the Talons were going to intersect with the story once it became clear it was going to take place at Arkham. The story was interesting and ties somewhat back in old continuity with Black Mask.

    I still can't get back into TEC - especially now that it's $3.99 (looks like DC can't draw the line anymore) as are many other DC books. It starts to add up. However, I would recommend this issue - especially if you're reading Night of the Owls and I might even recommend the series again.

      To start things off, i only got this issue because of the night of the owls. I read Batman, and i saw that this was part of the crossover and i gave it a quick read and decided to get it. Ive never bought an issue from this series so i came in with knowledge of what was going on but no idea how they would execute this. Even if it were bad, i wouldnt mind getting it because this will have some continuity with batman. now on to the reviewGood: i didnt expect we would be in the point of view of the...
