Even though, the “Night of the Owls” story arc is long gone. Once Tynion writes a few issues of Talon maybe he will stop the voice-overs and let the dialogue and character interaction inform the audience what is going. Some audiences need the voice-overs to get a sense of what is going on. ![]() It is surely an iconic scene for this soon to be epic comic book.ĭisappointments: This is more of a preference I am hoping that Tynion will feel comfortable as a writer to let the audience read the comic book without voice-overs. The best scene in this comic book by March is when Rose jumps off a GCPD blimp and glides down into Gotham City. So, this gives March tons of freedom to create new villains, new settings, and so much more. ![]() Since Talon is a new character in the Batman Universe as well as in the DC Universe, March is able to draw Rose in any way he wants. The best part about March doing this comic book is that he is able to work freely. He has come back in a really cool way giving us a scruffy portrayal of Calvin Rose. Ever since his departure from Catwoman over the summer, we have been patiently waiting for his return to Batman comics. So, for right now the voice-overs play a huge benefit in this comic book. However, down the line, Tynion is going have to layoff of the voice-overs and allow his dialogue to propel the book. At this point, it’s okay to use a lot voice-over for this comic book because it just started. Tynion uses a lot of voice-overs throughout this issue to explain what’s going as well as give a personality to Calvin Rose’s character. Still, you should read the voice-overs because Tynion introduces another aspect of the Court’s power over Gotham City. However, if you have read the story arc then this is nothing more than a quick page turner. If you haven’t read Scott Snyder’s “Night of the Owls” story arc in Batman. These voice-overs will help you learn about the Court of Owls. Praises: From the beginning of Issue #1, you’re given narrated voice-overs by Calvin Rose who explains the history and power of the Court of Owls over Gotham City. Now, in Issue #1 of Talon, Tynion sets up this issue for a bigger story line in the making for future issues. From the beginning, Tynion created a character that is not only likeable but is also enjoyable to read. Since Issue #0 of Talon starring Rose as one of the Talons who escaped from the Court of Owls, Tynion has brought a comic book that might stand the test of times. So, Tynion stepped in to continue the story arc with a new character called Calvin Rose. Snyder wanted to continue the story arc, but he could not find the time to continue it. Reaction: Writer of Batman, Scott Snyder, has given us a run on an original story arc called “Night of the Owls.” At which Snyder could not have done by himself without his protégé, James Tynion IV, who co-wrote the story arc with Snyder. RATING: ENJOYABLE ISSUE, read to start the first issue of this story arc. The album is at its best when it keeps it slow and simple and it generally does just that.Story Plot: After many years on the run, Calvin Rose returns to Gotham City to investigate the fallout from “Night of the Owls.” Is the Court of Owls finally defeated? Could Calvin Rose finally have freedom from the Court? Geraghty has a good singing voice, but never pushes it and keeps his range quite small. The sound is based on a variety of string instruments, and not always guitar, with mandolins, banjos and occasionally piano. This is a double edged sword though, as even Bell X1 fans could treat it lightly. Most bands fear their album disappearing into oblivion, but this album was always going to get a certain amount of attention. As a pleasure project, this must be the type of music he enjoys most, a chance to do exactly what he pleases and express himself without the normal pressure or weight of expectation. I can’t see him giving up on Bell X1 anytime soon, as they continue to play large venues and festivals around the country. This album was always in danger of being treated like a side project and in truth that is what it is. There are no electronics or drum machines, it stays within the same realm. While it is different from Bell X1, it is not radically different. It’s an album that doesn’t demand attention with epic guitar solos, but draws you in with other allures. This is a stripped down affair with acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies to the fore. A clean start under a new name and it’s a quite enjoyable one. This new album and new name is an attempt to do something different. Dave Geraghty has a couple of solo albums already, as well as his work with Bell X1.
