The Human Target #12

If you don’t believe a comic can move you to tears, let me offer you The Human Target #12. The final issue of The Human Target deals with the aftermath. The heart-wrenching, painful, disturbing, yet beautiful aftermath of the death of Christopher Chance. There’s no last-minute save for our hero. Christopher Chance dies. While some of comic attempts to wrap-up various JLI threads still hanging out there, the main focus is on Ice and dealing with the loss of the man she inadvertently killed and fell in love with all in twelve days.

The Human Target #11

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.

Who did Romeo (Kyle Allen) love before Juliet (Isabela Merced)? That’s the question Rosaline answers by casting Kaitlyn Dever in the title role as the Romeo’s ex who he unceremoniously dumps after meeting Juliet at a masquerade ball. Adding some modern dialogue and sensibilities, Rosaline has fun with some of the goofier aspects of Shakespeare’s play while also blending in some Taming of the Shrew vibes for out titular character.
