Christopher Chance is running out of time and the suspects are closing in.

In Part 3 of our deep dive into The Human Target by Tom King and Greg Smallwood, things get darker, weirder, and far more personal. With only days left to live, Chance continues his noir-soaked investigation into who poisoned him…and every lead still points back to the Justice League International.

This episode covers issues 7–9, featuring:

A tense, seductive confrontation with Fire

The emotional fallout with Ice

Brutal encounters (and interrogations) involving Rocket Red

And the looming shadow of Batman, watching from the edges

Tom King’s writing leans hard into classic noir tragedy, while Greg Smallwood’s art elevates every punch, silence, and stare. This is a story about obsession, sacrifice, and what it costs to chase the truth, even when it kills you.
