Smallwood continues to deliver some beautifully detailed and wonderfully compelling imagery throughout the issue. I love the style of the visuals and how they convey the emotion of the scene. Read Full Review

The Human Target is the noir mystery of the year. Tom King, Greg Smallwood and Clayton Cowles have put together an excellent story full of drama, some action and a lot of romance. For a character that hasnt been used in any capacity in years, this is definitely one of the best stories he could have gotten. While I dont expect this to be a complete revival of the character, I surely would love to see more new stories about his exploits and how he interacts with the further superhero community.

King and Smallwood are not a creative team you'd associate with sci-fi, which is why the segments on Oa are so impressive this issue. Read Full Review

This is a great issue featuring a wild teamup between a serious character and a goofball. Chance learns quite a bit, and it'll have you questioning characters' motives as Tom King and Greg Smallwood bring G'Nort in for an appearance. Man's best friend indeed! Read Full Review

With G'Nort you know there's going to be plenty of humor, but the mystery and investigation continues to drive the comic. Read Full Review

While this issue fell into the pratfalls that have weakened the series as a whole, it sets up a very interesting pair of final issues. Read Full Review

Human Target #10 is a gorgeous, well-constructed issue that goes nowhere and does nothing important. Smallwood's art is fantastic, and the dialog between diverse characters is mildly amusing, but the plot is at a dead stop. Read Full Review

Another month, another aimless installment of The Human Target. Theres just a couple of issues left of this series. Im very curious to see how King can cobble together an ending that will make this maxi-series feel like it was worth the year plus long investment. Read Full Review

All those folks crying 5 issues ago look pretty silly now.

Enjoyable read is certainly what I would call it. The suspense is gone but the scary aspect of chasing leads while death chases you is worth the read. Smallwood is an amazing artist. Every little thing is perfect. The colors are spot on from angles to curves make it worth every penny.

I wonder if the group that was frothing at the mouth over the ending of issue #6 is going to justifiably eat their crow. That would require actually reading the book, rather than ranting over a few panels and I'm not quite sure the reactionaries can handle that.

Anyways, another fantastic issue from Smallwood, King and co. This interpretation of G'Nort gives me big John Candy vibes and I love it.

I, for one, am frothing at the mouth that that ginger fuck isn't dead.

Oh boy, two more issues after this!

Maybe not my favorite issue of this series — I don't think I've ever seen anyone write G'Nort who could truly capture the zaniness of the Giffen/DeMatties years, and I'm not in love with the implications of the ending (although anyone familiar with noir tropes could have seen it coming) — but in no small part, my cooler reaction to this issue is because King & Smallwood have set the bar so high that even they don't always reach it. And even their lesser issues are at least worth an 8

I think it's passable. The art, as always, is the shining part of the book. The story is typical Tom King. Especially the rambling character thing he does.
