From the pics so far and comparing them to all the previous and even my own WoK issues. It looks like both are modern, and both are Razor. Neither is classic. See examples in my post above this.

Talon is blue visor and amulet and round shoulders, but same silver markings as this has.

For all versions though, the feet are wrong. They should be silver tipped. Not full silver.

Classic also only had one wrist guard from the pics(the claw side). Modern has two(both sides). So then yeah, that settles it, these are both modern just from different covers/comics.
Though the modern with the silver markings on front shouldn't have any wrist guads. It's supposed to have silver markings on the arms like the legs, and the wings attach like falcon's.


This makes sense really, since the modern DH does switch armors on the fly. From standard, to offensive, defensive, speed type, etc. So they probably all are modern so far, but will be called whatever like how modular Ironman is really the bleeding edge armor.

Mind you, this is just going from the various art of the character. If you don't want to check my links, you can verify against a google image search, or from the issues themselves.

Pics at the bottom make it more confusing which is which, but I think we can safely say without the right wing colors, and using only the wristguard on the claw hand, neither can be classic at all besides the helmet being wrong compared to the original issues various angles of reference.

Even checking Nova issue 36 which was the last appearance of Darkhawk. No silver markings, it matches the current figure except for the mouth part of the mask which seems to vary artist to artist.


*Edit*
I give up. I'm just going to appreciate the fact they broke up all the dead blue space of the figure with some silver highlights, and just enjoy it. Screw trying to figure out the era for him if he even has one in comics yet since Darkhawk hasn't appeared since Nova issue 36 (May 7th, 2010 holy crap he hasn't been in a comic in over a year!). Maybe this could be his new new modern design.
At this point, I just want to enjoy the figure even though he's not from any point in the comics (other than 2 covers that are close to this design, but not the interior art) I can tell directly. I might just buy him and paint the amulet and visor light blue and solve the mild design issue about making him Talon instead, or buy two to have one for that. He definitely isn't classic, and so far from the issues, he definitely isn't modern yet.
