When Tom King and Greg Smallwood's The Human Target returned late last year following a five-month hiatus and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a mystery-packed one-shot, Kin🎃g promised as t♎he limited series moved closer to Christopher Chance's death, "the stakes get higher, the violence gets bloodier, the twists get bigger, and the comic, impossibly, gets even prettier."

Enter Green Lantern and Justice League International ෴lege🌃nd G'nort. 

'Nuff said.

For DC readers who haven't been following the series but may want to jump on boa🏅rd with G'nort's debut, Chance was hired to protect/impersonate Le💛x Luthor (as the Human Target does) and is poisoned, eventually fatally. The series follows Chance as he uses his final living hours to determine whodunnit. So far, we know the poison used comes from a dimension where only a handful of characters have traveled, most of them from the Justice League International. 

The most notable events of the series so far as been Chance's romance with Ice, AKA Tora Olafsdottir, and the related 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:murder of Green Lantern Guy Gardner (which h𝔍as not been reflected ... yet ... in event series like Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.

January 10's The Human Target Book Ten, "Then Kill" by King, Smallwood, and letterer Clayton Cowles features G'no🙈rt and promises the appearance of the Green Lantern Corps as Chance has to deal with Guy's murder. 

Check out the first five pages of the issue, which also features some rather problematic beha༒vior by Chance toward Ice, which sort of sums up King's approach to the character.

The Human Target Book Ten๊ (of Twelve) goes on sale Tuesdaꦛy, January 10.

Newsarama has named the first nine issues of the Human Target as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best comic books of 2022 (and very high up on the list)

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than th🌳e beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasio༺nally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
