Anyone read Talon?

[Reno McCoy]

Is Snyder going to continue doing the plots? I haven't really followed much about the book...

I'm just glad to see one of the big two coming up with a new character.

I've yet to be disappointed by snyder. So I'm in all the way. 0 was kinda iffy, but I can see it going somewhere good.

[Reno McCoy]

I read issue 1 today. Thought it was pretty good. They're clearly setting up the character, and it's not exactly the most original story, but it seems to be setting up a story with good potential.

Anyone reading this?

[Hawkman]

never saw this thread. i guess i'll have to take a chance with #0 now.

[Reno McCoy]

For what it's worth, I really enjoyed issue 0 and 1. Bought 2, but haven't had time to read it yet.

That costume is UGLY as hell. They should have used the same design from the Batman series.

i gave up halfway through #1

Writer James Tynion IV discusses Talon

[Scrooge]

i gave up halfway through #1

 

Why? 'Cuz it had nothing to do with # 0? That was a little annoying on my end. Second, his return to the city prompted by the demise of the Court followed by his wanting to turn tail because of a possible threat from the group made my head as he was depicted quite ruthless and strong-willed in the # 0 issue. I am sticking with it but I will watch it carefully. Hate when a new book is already on the watch-to-drop list ...

 

Your opinion, McCoy?

[Reno McCoy]

I'll need to go back and re-read it. I remember thinking it was a little cliched, but decent enough for me to want to read more of the series.

 

If I remember right, I got the impression he didn't want to fight the person sent to get him. As if he was trying to stay off the radar, or, and this might be reading into it way too much (or more likely, completely misremembering), I figured he was still protecting someone he rescued in issue 0. As in, "I'm heading to Gotham, but I need to stay a shadow to protect those who look up to me for protection."

I picked up #2 as soon as i saw juan jose ryp on the cover. I'll read it tonight.

Thread CPR.

 

I'm _really_ enjoying this title. I've only been reading it digitally but considering picking up the actual books now. Anyone collecting?

[bane]

Talon is awesome. My third favourite title that DC puts out currently in the superhero genre.

 

From another thread I posted in:

 

The costume is not great at all. Infact the costume Talon wears at the very start of issue 1 is much much better then the one he is given at the end.

 

If you can get past how sucky the costume is, like I have, you will find that Talon is a very enjoyable title.

 

What Snyder is doing well is that even though Talon is in Gotham, so far, he has focused on the Court of Owls and Talon's quest. He has left Batman and his allies and villains well alone, I think that shows the strength of the title IMO.

 

As I've said before, if anyone was a fan of the late 90s Nightwing series, you WILL enjoy Talon.

[Arkham]

Yeah. Completely agree. Aside from his costume the rest of the art work is great. Storyline really engaging.

 

The badass he's battling at the moment is unreal. Great to see a new villain that is creepy, a little bit scary and also likeable. Unless that's just me!

I have really enjoyed this so far.

Would I have enjoyed it so much if it had not spun out of a Batbook? Probably not...

 

The costume is extremely goofy, though.

[Arkham]

Would I have enjoyed it so much if it had not spun out of a Batbook? Probably not...

 

 

Ha. Yeah. I wouldn't have even looked at it.

[toytastik]

I collect it, and have most issues. Need to get the four variants and the zero sketch.
