HUNDRED WORD HIT #226 - THE HUMAN TARGET #4
The Human Target #4 by Tom King & Greg Smallwood
With eight days remaining Christopher Chance continues his tour of ex-Justice League International members by visiting Ted Kord aka Blue Beetle.
Kord definitely has the smarts to create a poison that could kill Lex Luthor, but is actually bringing Chance’s life to a premature close.
Except Chance quickly realises that Kord isn’t responsible, but is finding it increasingly difficult to resist the charms of femme-fatale Ice, who has the Human Target firmly in her sights
King’s script is utterly engaging and Smallwood’s art is breathtaking. Four issues in and this has the makings of a modern comic masterpiece.
