The Human Target, Volume 1

Today's post is on The Human Target, Volume 1 by Tom King and Greg Smallwood (Artist). It is 192 pages long and is published by DC Comics. The cover is a target with the main character in the center. The intended reader is someone who likes mysteries with superheroes. There is mild foul language, mild sexuality, and violence in this comic. The story closely follows the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- 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 trying to solve his own murder, as he has 12 days to discover just who in the DC Universe hated Luthor enough to want him dead by slow-acting poison. And the prime suspects happen to be...the Justice League International?

Review- A wonderful noir mystery set in the DC universe. Christopher Chance is a man of many faces and voices. He puts his life on the line so his clients can be safe. But when he poisoned and has only twelve days to solve his own murder, Chance is in over his head. Especially when the prime suspects are superheroes. There is so much to like about this story from the plot to the characters and most especially the art style. It looks very traditional  like it was made using colored pencils, making the drawing look so good. I'm looking forward to the next volume and seeing how chance is going to solve his murder and who did it. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library.
