The Human Target #11

/ / Comics

The penultimate issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series gives us Christopher Chance and Ice together on the day before he dies. It’s a sweet and beautiful issue with secrets unburdened and love expressed before the sun begins to set and harder truths and pain is shared. For a comic that’s just two characters spending a day at the beach it’s an amazing read that is all the more painful knowing we’re so close to the end.

Moon Knight‘s battle with the Tutor comes to a close as he and Tigra crash the vampire’s party to bring a few presents of their own in violence and death.

A musing on loneliness, depression, and the end of a friendship, writer/director Martin McDonagh‘s The Banshees of Inisherin offers stand-out performances from both Colin Farrell, as the dull but otherwise likable enough Pádraic, and Brendan Gleeson as his longtime friend Colm, who announces one day he wants nothing further to do with his best friend and will perform physical harm to himself should Pádraic refuse to leave him alone.

Not many films from 2022 brought me to tears, but director Darren Aronofsky‘s managed it with the payoff to his emotional tale of an isolated Internet professor (Brendan Fraser) suffering from guilt, loss, and an obesity that has grown to life-threatening levels. With its small cast and singular locale of nearly every scene taking place within Charlie’s apartment, designed and organized to fit his needs, we feel his isolation in every moment of Aronofsky’s chamber drama.
