Preview
The Comic
So let's see what the typical crossover issue will be for this event: Introduce a Talon, then have Talon meet our title character, and have them fight.
This title is no different. Its ok, and it does show some character moments for Batwing and how he doesn't like the Batman playboy routine. Then we get the Alfred call out to all the Bat-fam and Batwing fights a Talon.
Eh, its ok. The best thing is that we don't have the regular story arc interrupted for the crossover, which is nice. This is a nice read, but it doesn't give new readers to the book more of an idea of what Batwing is about and what happened in the previous story. There are a couple of beats, but if I was just picking up this title I really couldn't distinguish this guy from any other D-list Bat-ally. Sorta like how Azrael was years ago.
The Art
I thought this was rather nice. It worked really well, but I wonder about the art on this book sometimes. Too many different artists who have been in this comic, but thankfully each artist has been pretty good in their own right.
The Cover
Ugh, I hate the ugly orange. There is a nice contrast of it with the blue light source of Batwing's chest emblem, but outside of that I don't like it too much. There is some nice symmetry to it.

Recommend: Pretty good to check out. This might bring in some new readers to the title.
Buy Next Issue: Back to the regular schedule story, and I have some good hopes for the next arc.
