Talon #6

Talon #6 was interesting but left more questions than it answered.  I am sure this was the intent of the creative team.  Turns out after letting himself get captured that Talon was taken to the head of the Court of Owls, where he is informed that he has actually been working for the old Grandmaster of the Court of Owls.  All the time he thought he was working to destroy what remained of the Court of Owls our hero Talon was actually working for the guy whom directed the fight against Batman and killed off all those members of the Court.  True or not at least it is interesting, a bit predictable and some information that might have been held back a few more issues.  The creative team actually managed to bring in Batman and Jim Gordon for a page.  Anyway this actually turned out to be a good story and hopefully it indicates an improvement in the quality of this comic.

Talon #5!!

Talon #5 (still not Batman)! Oh but wait we get to see the real Batman and Nightwing argue about the Court of Owls and the aftermath of the Death of the Family story line.  Then we get reminded that the super Talon serial killer is featured and he goes to kill random people living in Gotham for no reason and no police response despite structural damage to the building.  Then our hero and friends finds a way to sneak into the next impossible mission against the Court of Owls.  We end with a cliffhanger because this was just a boring filler issue.

Talon #4 (No really I’m not Batman!) this was a fine conclusion to the adventure that started last issue.  I’m a little disappointed that the writer went for the little girl gets away and puts herself in danger but only because it makes for crappy lazy filler.  Just have the fight, just win or lose only crappy writers let the kid get into danger after being safe.  I guess maybe I will not keep buying this comic after all.

Batman and Not Batman!

Talon (I’m not Batman) #3: This was a good issue, entertaining a real caper piece if there had been one in comics before.  It is hard to explain without spoiling something fun.  But our Talon friend goes to New York City to save his old girlfriend and things get interesting.

Batman Inc #6: Another disjointed weird story, not really sure what is going on as the story is not consistent with what was in the last issue.  I don’t know, might be time to let this title go (did I already say that?).
