Interestingly enough, the man who killer her father is <strong>Dark Claw<\/strong>, her former lover. And, similarly, he has dreamed of coming face to face with the man who killed <em>his <\/em>father, as well. Now that she has him at her mercy, Talia must decide if getting revenge will be worth becoming a murderer.<\/p>\n<p>The art style perfectly mimics the critically-acclaimed 1990s Batman cartoon series and the story delivers an interesting twist, considering both main characters are trying to come to terms with the same problem: what would happen if they met their father&#8217;s killer? This added importance of characterization puts this one-shot well above the previous Dark Claw comic from the year before.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cyberspacecomics.com\/blogimages\/recommendometer3.gif\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">On Ebay<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/CyberspaceComics__W0QQ_sacatZCyberspaceComicsQQ_sidZ13296653?_nkw=%22amalgam%22&amp;submit=Search&amp;LH_TitleDesc=1\" target=\"_blank\">Amalgam<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/CyberspaceComics__W0QQ_sacatZCyberspaceComicsQQ_sidZ13296653?_nkw=%22ty+templeton%22&amp;submit=Search&amp;LH_TitleDesc=1\" target=\"_blank\">Ty Templeton<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">On AtomicAvenue<\/span>: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.atomicavenue.com\/atomic\/SellerIssues.aspx?XT=0&#038;S=cyberspacecomics&#038;P=amalgam\">Amalgam Comics<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because publishers want you to buy their product every month, comics are typically serial in nature.
