Human Target: Living in Amerika

In this 2004 DC one-shot, writer Peter Milligan and artist Cliff Chiang reimagine the Human Target as a man adrift in a paranoid, post-9/11 America. The issue follows the identity-for-hire as he takes on a new case that forces him to confront the blurred lines between the self and the roles he plays. A sharp, standalone character study from the acclaimed creative team, it captures the series' core theme of fractured identity in a tense, modern context.
