The art carried this comic last couple issues for sure. Good last issue. I definitely think this series was way better 1-5 than 6-12, King probably could have benefited from making this a 10 issue series rather than 12.
Christopher Chance has spent the last 12 days trying to solve his own murder, with the list of suspects comprising the Justice League International. Did a hero really attempt to kill Lex Luthor? Could the Human Target have miscalculated? Is it too late to save his life?!
It's been 11 days since he was poisoned on a mission that went sideways and Christopher Chance has finally solved his own murder. But is it too late to save himself?! The penultimate chapter to the Eisner-nominated series will leave readers stunned!
G’Nort. The man. The myth. The legend
I may have underestimated Tom King. What i thought was a cheap thrill and horrible characterization back in issue 6 has actually unfolded nicely. He does write a pretty good Guy Gardner after all
The gorgeous, Eisner-nominated series continues! With only 48 hours left to unmask his murderer before he drops dead, the pieces are finally falling into place for Christopher Chance. But before he can solve his own killing, he must deal with the consequences of Guy Gardner’s. Enter G’nort and the Green Lantern Corps!
Christopher Chance has only a few days left to solve his own murder. His investigation has been bumpy to say the least, but will the murder of Guy Gardner finally catch up to the Human Target and end his search before the poison ends his life? Once Batman learns of his ex-teammates, disappearance, can anything stop the Dark Knight from uncovering t...
Brilliant. Plot doesn’t develop and thats the point,,,Christopher has wasted a whole day. Rocket Red was great. Super satisfying seeing him beat tf out of Christopher😭. Hopefully G’Nort makes an appearance down the line🙏🙏
The brutal, Eisner-nominated series continues as time is running out for Christopher Chance to find his murderer. His investigation into the Justice League International takes a violent turn when Rocket Red comes knocking, looking for his friend Guy Gardner!
Super slow pace. Couldn’t get last issue out of my head. Smallwood was awesome. King is a genius for writing in Fire and Ice in a series that Smallwood was drawing.
The acclaimed series returns, and Christopher has only days left to solve his own murder. The intrepid detective might have met his match, however, when Fire smolders into his life. What secrets does this flaming femme fatale hold, and will the Human Target get burned?
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
Art by Mikel Janin, Rafael Albuquerque, Kevin Maguire and Greg Smallwood Building on the most critically acclaimed series of the year, Tom King and four of comics' top artists tell the tales of what happened before Chance drank Luthor's poison. Chance teams up with fan-favorite members of the JLI in four connecting mysteries that lead them to that ...
Story itself and art are so good that it’s hard to rate lower than 7.5 but i completely understand the lower ratings. Starting to finally see why people hate Tom King. I get it’s out of continuity since it’s Black Label but this was just lazy character assassination for the sake of shock value. Not just for Guy but for Ice just as much
"The most acclaimed book of the year continues!
After a tragic confrontation leaves a Justice Leaguer dead, Christopher Chance, the Human Target, is one step closer to solving his own murder...but also one step closer to his own grave. With only six days left, can he find the truth through webs of lies?"
Confusing at first but great payoff
Christopher Chance, a.k.a. the Human Target, will be dead in a few days, but nothing will stop him from solving his own murder. His investigation into the JLI intensifies, and he sets his sights on the Martian Manhunter…but what piece does J’onn J’onzz add to the puzzle?
“I asked Ted 1 question 18 hours ago and he hasnt stopped talking since”😂😂😂😂😂
With eight days left to solve his own murder, Christopher Chance tracks down his next suspect. His murderer couldn’t be Blue Beetle…could it?
Like another user said, the character interactions and art are so good that you get to kind of forget about rhe mystery. I love the JLI characters and Tom King is very much doing Ice, Booster; and Guy justice so far.
Christopher Chance is a man on a deadline and working to solve a crime that might be unsolvable. Despite his better judgment, he’s falling for his lead suspect, and her violent ex-boyfriend isn’t happy about it. Oh, and that ex? He’s a Green Lantern.
Just read JLI earlier this year and it was phenomenal, so I’m all for this series. King not overdoing it and letting Smallwood do his thing.
Christopher Chance now has 11 days to solve his own murder. With almost no leads, it would seem the case of his own death has gone cold…but it’s about to get a whole lot colder. Enter Ice, former member of Justice League International, arriving at Chance’s office with some unexpected information…and mysterious intentions.
Im hooked
Christopher Chance has made a living out of being a human target-a man hired to disguise himself as his client to invite would-be assassins to attempt his murder. He’s had a remarkable career until his latest case protecting Lex Luthor when things go sideways. An assassination attempt Chance didn’t see coming leaves him vulnerable and left tryi...
Mantis and his bug army invade Earth and it’s up to Orion to fight them!
Forager is given the task of searching out Orion and helping him stop Mantis from mobilizing all the bugs into a large army.
Damn that ending
Kalibak and Orion battle, causing massive destruction, while Turpin and the Metropolis police force try to stop them.
Epic
Learn the history of the war between New Genesis and Apokolips, including the tale of the pact Izaya and Darkseid made to bring a temporary peace.
Lightray and Orion battle the Deep Six while Farley and Richard Sheridan learn more about each other’s views.
Best issue yet
Orion battles Slig and the Deep Six. Kalibak arrives on Earth looking for Orion.
Orion stops Inter-Gang and their "Jammer."
The Black Racer comes to earth and takes possession of the body of Willie Walker.
I could definitely see the 4 random people making for some boring issues down the line. Orion-Darkseid dynamic is great. This is definitely my favorite out of the 4 Fourth World titles so far
Orion explains the nature of the war against Darkseid to Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman.
It is very high concept especially for the time. It doesn't hold your hand and you just have to accept all of the new characters, places and concepts thrown at you but what is here is still stellar. What Kirby even starts out with is timeless.
Orion Fights for Earth! Orion frees Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman from Darkseid.
Orion Fights for Earth! Orion frees Lanza, Shane, Lincoln, and Lockman from Darkseid.
Overall still this was good and this is going to sound bad but the race angle was just executed so stupidly. Genuinely had me questioning if King only added it in to make this more “critically applauded” or something
The brutal, bloody conclusion to the year’s most acclaimed title is here. Slam Bradley has never feared walking the hard path alone, but even his courage will be tested by the shocking turn of events that will take Gotham City down a dark, violent path.
Ok im hooked. King with another classic Elseworlds story
Slam Bradley has been one step behind the kidnappers the entire time…can he turn the tables in time to save the infant heiress to the Wayne fortune? Is this hardened private investigator prepared to deal with a dark, deadly twist that will define Gotham City for generations to come?
I shouldve seen that coming
The new crime-noir classic rolls on! Slam Bradley’s search for the Wayne heiress takes a tragic, deadly turn and the simmering pot that is Gotham City is about to boil over!

Damnnn
Slam Bradley has been one step behind the kidnappers the entire time...can he turn the tables in time to save the infant heiress to the Wayne fortune? Is this hardened private investigator prepared to deal with a dark, deadly twist that will define Gotham City for generations to come?
Hesters art is so good. Kings story is good for now but hopefully it picks up in future issues
The bloody, bare-knuckled crime series continues! A bruised and battered Slam Bradley find himself embroiled in a shocking case as the infant heiress to the Wayne fortune has been kidnapped! But as with all things in Gotham City, nothing is what it seems... Can he solve the case in time to save a young life and secure the Wayne legacy or will the s...
