About the series
In 2022 and 2023, DC Comics published a two-issue miniseries reimagining The Human Target, written by Tom King with art by Greg Smallwood. This tightly focused story centers on Christopher Chance, a private investigator and living decoy, as he faces a race against time after being poisoned—forcing him to solve his own murder before the killer can strike again. Smallwood's lush, painterly visuals and King's signature psychological depth elevate this into a moody, noir-inflected thriller. Though brief, the series stands as a striking, self-contained character study that distills the Human Target’s core premise into a tense, elegant drama.
