Christopher Chance, known for being a "human target," makes a living by disguising himself as his clients to draw out potential assassins. His career takes a dramatic turn during his latest case, which involves protecting Lex Luthor, leading to an unexpected and perilous twist.

An assassination attempt leaves Chance exposed and racing against time with only 12 days to identify who in the DC Universe despised Luthor enough to wish him dead via slow-acting poison. Intriguingly, the prime suspects include none other than the Justice League International.

The Human Target is a hard-boiled, gritty tale in the spirit of classic detective noirs, masterfully told by bestselling creators Tom King and Greg Smallwood.

This volume compiles Human Target issues #1-6, constituting the first half of this thrilling murder mystery.
