Christopher Chance has made a career as a human target, a man hired to disguise himself as his clients, inviting would-be assassins to aim for him. However, his latest assignment—protecting Lex Luthor—takes an unexpected turn.

A surprise assassination attempt leaves Chance vulnerable, facing his most personal challenge yet. With 12 days to uncover the identity of his poisoner, he delves into clues, witnesses the death of a Green Lantern, and becomes entwined in a passionate affair with Tora Olafsdottir, a.k.a. Ice.

As DC's top bodyguard, Chance may finally meet his match when Beatriz da Costa, known as Fire, enters the scene. Her presence poses new questions and potential danger—what secrets might this fiery femme fatale be hiding, and how will they affect The Human Target?

The Human Target is a gritty, hard-boiled detective story reminiscent of classic noir, delivered by bestselling and critically acclaimed creators Tom King and Greg Smallwood.
