This comic reminds me a lot of Rorschach, in that its main character isn't really the emotional heart of the story and is in some ways kept at a distance from the viewer. Chance parcels out his backstory like a tool he uses, and it's impossible to fully figure out who he's conning at any given moment. But the clock is still ticking, and the tension hasn't lost a step in this return. Read Full Review

This issue complicates Chance's life, his romance and seems to imply that he really is doomed, but it's the beautiful visuals make it hard to worry that he's gonna die. Read Full Review

All in all, this issue is a strong return by the creative team, and depending on how you read it, alliances are formed that could either lead to the real culprit or distract our investigator. Chance is an intelligent man, but it looks like lust and death are taking him on some wild rides. Read Full Review

First at a nightclub, and later at an amusement park, the pair play and verbally spar with Chance trying to determine if she is his killer and Fire judging the man who has taken up with his best friend. While there is certainly some sexual tension, turns out the dying man only has eyes for one super-hero at present, leading to an admission and a new subject coming in focus with five issues remaining.

This is a solid start to the second half of this series, one of King's best works since Mister Miracle. Read Full Review

The Human Target #7 is gorgeous, well-paced, and ends with a key piece of information in Chance's murder investigation. However, the journey from the first page to the last is effectively one long, mildly tense conversation that will bore most readers. Read Full Review

It's too bad the visuals get undercut by King's script, which takes another twist this time. This one is overly transparent to make an earlier wrong not seem so bad in hindsight, but regardless of what King is selling this is a story that at this point seems unsalvageable. Read Full Review

This is so good! The artwork at display here is some of the best I’ve ever seen and then the way King writes those character interactions is so satisfying. Both Fire and Chance pretending and dancing around each other trying to achieve their goals is so Intense and mesmerising. Really well done.

One of the best DC books is back.

And it hasn't lost its touch.

The art does HEAVY lifting here but the writing is no slouch either.

Not much to say, you need to be reading this series.

Strong narrative and flow. I can see how it's still dragging but the interplay/tension is there and kept my interest. But we know Smallwood is the heavy lifter in this story. Without his amazing art this is an average story. The visuals are the key to this story.

Fire and Ice.

I thought the character work was pretty good. The art shines as usual. It just lacked anything that really hooked me.
