Talon #6 Review

3 / 5

Talon #6 isn't a bad book, but for some reason I had a lot of trouble finishing it. It took more than one attempt to get through the book, which rarely happens unless a book is just awful. Issue 5 ended with Calvin getting trapped in the Talon stronghold at the same time Sebastien realized the Grandmaster of the Court was present. Issue 6 opens with 3 Talons, all members of the same family, monologuing while Calvin finds his way out of a cage. The rest of the issue revolves around 3 different stories, all happening concurrently. On one hand, Harmon, the massive Talon that has been hunting Calvin for the last few issues, spots Batman on patrol. We get more of a taste of his intense bloodlust as he nearly ignores orders and hunts Batman instead, only to be stopped by threats of cryobombs implanted behind his eyes. This leads to him taking some drastic actions that should make for some interesting consequences in future issues. Meanwhile Casey is back at base watching as Sebastien freaks out about Calvin being trapped by the Grandmaster. She begins investigating the complex they live in only to find some interesting tidbits that should change the group dynamics. Finally, Calvin spends the rest of the issue escaping from the Talons, while also putting some plans of his own into action. 

This is one of those kinds of issues when there are multiple plot threads that all tie neatly together by the end of the book. There is an interesting story to be told from here, though it will require the creative team take an issue to really discuss what's going on. The tempo really could take a notch down at this point to get us on the same page. Hopefully this series continues to be this strong.
