Talon #1

Spinning out of the pages of Batman, this 2012 New 52 launch gives the Court of Owls' deadliest weapon a series of his own. Guillem March's cover says it all: Calvin Rose, masked and snarling, bursts forward mid-escape, chains shattering around him while an enormous, looming Talon figure — red-eyed and owl-masked — bears down with outstretched claws behind him. With Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV steering "The Gotham Trap," this first issue promises a thriller built on one man's desperate bid for freedom from the most secretive conspiracy in Gotham.
