The Human Target #1
- Title: The Human Target #1 (of 12)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Tom King
- Artist: Greg Smallwood
As part of DC’s Black Label, the noir-ish The Human Target #1 opens with the death of Christopher Chance in an empty hotel room before jumping back a dozen days to Chance playing the role of Lex Luthor at a LexCorp press event where a terrorist will inevitably attempt to make an attempt on the life of his client.
The sequence, beautifully rendered by artist Greg Smallwood, works well as an introduction to Chance’s line of work by taking the place of his client and putting himself in danger. As the title suggests, Chance makes his life as a Human Target.
The sequence, narrated by Chance, also keys us into a few aspects of an older Chance, less carefree than his early days, and less discerning on his choice of clientele. And that may have just gotten him killed.

Black Widow #12
- Title: Black Widow #12
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Kelly Thompson
- Artist: Elena Casagrande
Calling in a couple of friends in Bucky Barnes and Clint Baton, Natalie rounds up the girls and hits the Golden Gate Gala where she’s been told there’s information to be found and something far more nefarious underneath the upscale atmosphere. Ditching the party early, Lucy and Anya uncover a bizarre secret auction in the basement of the building before going silent leading to the Widows going to Plan B and taking a more direct approach to uncover just what the hell is going on.
There’s a lot of slow building set-up here, but eventually things get interesting. Although her Spidey-sense (so to speak) is aroused the entire evening, Black Widow is unprepared for what, or more precisely who, she finds. Whoever the Living Blade is, Natasha has tangled with him before (and he’s certainly made an impression).
