Human Target #4

The fourth issue of DC's 2010 Human Target series ties in with the hit Fox television adaptation, and Brian Wood's cover sets a brooding, espionage-thriller tone — a stern, shadowed face looms over a collage of classified government documents stamped "SECRET," sniper crosshairs overlaid on a mountainous aerial landscape, and a small aircraft threading the peaks above. The story's title, "Alpine Panic!," promises high-altitude tension, and the cover's layered imagery of surveillance files, foreign stamps, and targeting reticles makes clear that protagonist Christopher Chance is very much in someone's crosshairs. Len Wein scripts with Bruno Redondo and Sergio Sandoval handling interior art, making this a sharp package for fans of globe-trotting intrigue.
