With a resume that includes successful and critically acclaimed titles such as The Omega Men, Mister Miracle, Rorschach, and Strange Adventures, best-selling writer Tom King definitely has the magic touch when it comes to plumbing the depths of the DC Universe and reimagining characters for a new generation of fans. On November 2, King and artist Greg Smallwood create a new legacy for DC’s deadliest bodyguard in Human Target, a 12-issue limited series based on the character co-created by Len Wein and Carmine Infantino.
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 DCU hated Luthor enough to want him dead. The DC Universe meets gritty detective noir in this DC BLACK LABEL series by two of comics most celebrated talents!

Is that...Ice
?
Did one of the JLI kill him and that's their role in the story? Or does that involve why Ice comes into Chance's office asking for his help? Is Ice a Film Noir Heroine now
?

Ice looks good.
The JLI looks good.
Chance looks good.
Makes me miss Darwyn Cooke.
Smallwood's art is a good fit.
I'll be waiting to hear reviews first before reading, though, due to Heroes in Crisis (which is notably absent from the list of King's works listed in the blurb)."There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.

Yeah not even counting Superheroes, imagine literally every supervillain and businessman/woman that Lex Luthor has ever crossed. Originally Posted by HsssH
