Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Aug 23, 2022Before the main series comes back from its extended hiatusright off the shocking cliffhanger that led to the death of an iconic JL memberthis oversized issue catches up with some of the secret history of the Justice League International, and it's the kind of puzzle box of an issue that only Tom King could do.

Aug 23, 2022Tales of The Human Target #1 is the kind of comic story you aren't prepared for, and maybe that's okay. I might have been too impatient, but I assure you, once you figure out how these stories relate, you'll realize it's a smart series of tales. These tales give us different looks at Chance while using a clever format to create mystery. This is nt so much an anthology as a clever look at three different heroes via mysteries tied to the Human Target. Read Full Review

Aug 29, 2022An interlude for the ongoing The Human Target twelve-issue maxi-series, the Tales of the Human Target one-shot gives us a look at three members of the Justice League and their separate attempts to do the right thing, not realizing the person that each was dealing with was the Human Target Christopher Chance.

Aug 24, 2022It's a fun compliment to the main series and hints that Chance has more history with these heroes than previously thought. Read Full Review

I never thought I would say this, but Tom King was kinda racist here.´´I told him about the bodies that would sometimes be in the street for days`` Really? This is what he has to say about Brazil?And despite being a non canon book, it made no sense in changing Beatriz upbringing. I really liked the other 2 stories tho, and I'm very excited for the next issue.

King overdoes it with Booster's dialogue but there were definitely some actual funny moments as well. Beatriz's story was obviously much shorter than Guy's and Booster's so they made some shit like "I stayed awake at his side for 72 hours straight" like cmon

It was a bit of a chore to get through I'm some parts. I just dislike Booster Gold so much, especially by King. It felt a little better by the end, but not worth it.

I liked a lot of this book, but Booster Gold made me want to eat a bullet. Writers do this way too much. They forget that an annoying character can annoy the readers too. Booster Gold is so fucking annoying.
