Well yeah, but I wonder how marketable any of these crime serials ever actually are. Vertigo, in particular, keeps on putting them out, but as I understand it, none of them ever really rack up the figures.
I'll miss Human Target, but apart from the writing and the art ( both great, but then again, this was comics, ) I'm not sure if there was ever enough of a hook to begin with, in terms of the set-up. In Shade for example, which wasn't nearly as well written for it's first twenty issues, IMHO, there was enough in the way of a storyline going to keep you just about interested, whereas a lot of the time Human Target seemed to read like a ( very high-standard, but still, ) US Seventies TV show ( The Incredible Hulk, say, ) where the character moved round from plotline to plotline with a number of issues, but without all that much in the way of development. I'm sure Laimling would have got there eventually, but it looks, in this case, like he left it too late, unfortunately. |
