It's 08:26 pm in Gotham, just about an hour and a half after the attack on Wayne Manor, and the Talons invade Arkham Asylum to pass judgment on the place's enigmatic owner. Several inmates are introduced to new readers, with a focus on Black Mask. I did not follow the title prior to the relaunch, so a little more backstory would have been appropriate to explain the relationship between he and Dr. Arkham.

The Talons' attack is pretty convincing and well staged, as well as Batman's timely arrival. This issue evidently takes place after Batman #9, which has not come out yet, so it kind of spoils a little on what happened at the mansion. The artwork, as always, is A+. Daniel's style creates this idea in the readers that they are reading an old, old book. As a tie-in, the story is pretty clean, has a clear resolution, passes the plot over to Nightwing, and moves on to the next thing. Felt like a quick read, but overall was very good.
