DC continues to try and shore up sales for Birds of Prey by tying it to the Batman universe through peripheral Batman characters like Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Mister Freeze and the Court of Owls. Seemingly everyone but Batman. And now BOP is crossing over with Talon.

TALON #9
In the aftermath of his encounter with Strix and the Birds of Prey (continuing from this month's BIRDS OF PREY #21), Calvin is sent on his deadliest mission yet: Retrieve one man from the deadliest island on Earth, Santa Prisca, the home of Bane!
Art and cover by Miguel A. Sepulveda
On sale June 26
32 Pages
U.S. Price: 2.99
From the solicit, the Birds might only appear in two pages of this issue of Talon. However, I'm looking forward to it more than any issue of the New 52 Birds of Prey, if only because I like Tynion's writing more than that of Swierczynski or Marx.
UPDATE: I just read the issue and… I was wrong. The Birds of Prey appear in less than two pages. Black Canary only appears on the cover. Batgirl appears in one panel falling off a building. None of them have any dialogue, nor are any of them referred to specifically or even obliquely in the script.
I'm pissed off that I paid for this $#@%!
