DC Comics has announced new variant covers for the much anticipated The Human Target Book Seven. The excellent series–check out our reviews–returns this September, but it’s not too early to pick out which covers you’ll be picking up.
Written by Tom King with art by Greg Smallwood, the series is also getting an anthology one-shot on September 20th before the return of the main series. Don’t miss our interview with King about The Human Target for more on the series.
“If you liked the first half of Human Target, you ain’t seen nothing yet,” said King. “As we enter the second half of the series and come closer to Chance’s death, the stakes get higher, the violence gets bloodier, the twists get bigger, and the comic, impossibly, gets even prettier. You do not want to miss this one.”
What’s The Human Target #7 about?
After discovering clues, the death of a Green Lantern and a torrid romance with Tora Olafsdottir, a.k.a. Ice, DC’s top bodyguard may meet his match when Beatriz da Costa, otherwise known as Fire, steps into his life. Only time will tell what secrets this flaming femme fatale might hold, and just how badly The Human Target might get burned.
Covers for The Human Target #7 are by Greg Smallwood, Francesco Mattina, and Stanley ‘Argerm’ Lau. Check them out below!
