    A new series spinning out of “Night of the Owls”!

    After many years on the run, Calvin Rose returns to Gotham City to investigate the fallout from “Night of the Owls”!

    Can the Court of Owls finally be defeated? Could Calvin have the one thing he’s been seeking his entire life: his freedom?

    After seven years on the run the Talon is back in Gotham! He must discover the truth about the fallout of “Night of the Owls”, a powerful "show of force" from the Court of Owls on Gotham Officials.

    Calvin Rose breaks in to Gotham’s abandoned Metropolitan terminal built by Court of Owls. A resurrected female Talon immediately attacks him from behind, thanks to his escape artist talents he manages to flee from the fight.

Hour’s later Calvin wakes up in Clark’s HQ, after a failed escape attempt, Calvin is subdued by Clark’s revenge speech aimed at the Court of Owls and the imminent danger on the Washington’s lives. The war on the court begins….

    Talon #1 - The Gotham Trap by batwatch on October 27, 2012

    The Gotham TrapThe zero issue of Talon was a solid story, but it left me with one main concern. Can a series about an escape artist really go the distance? In last month’s issue alone, Calvin made four masterful escapes. That may be fun for a time, but how long can a series continue to produce death traps for its hero? At the same time, Calvin obviously has more going on than just his escape artistry even if that is his headlining feature. Does this issue round out the character and show that Ta...

    Talon #1 - The Gotham Trap by kagato on November 11, 2012

    Talon was a book that immediatly perked my interest when it was announced during the last wave of new 52 (we still call it that?) of books, mostly because the Owls are a fascinating foe and took on Batman and his extended family and nearly won! The prospect of a rogue Talon sounded great to me, i always find these kinds of stories to have the most potential and of course having Scott Snyder co-plotting on the story dosent hurt.Although i didnt review the zero issue i actually read and enjoyed it...
