About the series
In the early 2020s, writer Tom King and artist Greg Smallwood reimagined DC’s Christopher Chance—the Human Target—for a taut, noir-infused 12-issue miniseries. This prestige run follows the bodyguard-for-hire as he faces his own mortality after being poisoned, racing against time to solve his murder before it happens. Smallwood’s lush, painterly art and King’s signature psychological depth elevate the series into a moody, character-driven thriller that stands as a definitive take on the classic DC concept.
