Talon #9

The New 52's Talon series gets a thrilling crossover boost in issue #9, as the cover tagline "Guest-Starring Birds of Prey!" delivers on its promise — a red-haired sword-wielding fighter and Black Canary clash against Calvin Rose's Talon in a chaotic, kinetic brawl set against a gritty urban backdrop bearing the Wayne name. Miguel Sepulveda's cover work captures the intensity of "Claws of the Court," pitting these formidable forces in a collision that feels genuinely dangerous for everyone involved. Writer James Tynion IV and the art team bring real momentum to this 2013 chapter of Calvin's ongoing war against the Court of Owls.
