- Writer: Tom King
- Artist: Greg Smallwood
With all the talks with various members of the JLI, there’s a character that hasn’t been shown or mentioned. A detective who could have helped with Chance‘s investigation. Although we don’t see him here, the Dark Knight Detective is on Chance’s mind as he’s sure Batman is tracking the Human Target and Ice ready at any moment to swoop down for the death of Guy Gardner.
But we don’t get Batman. What wo do get, aside from the paranoia, is the truth of Ice finally learning of Chance’s condition and his limited amount of time left on Earth. Despite the hurt and lies, and his fevered paranoia, the pair, now fully honest with each other for the first time, enjoy the fourth day left Chance has on Earth. But what else is waiting for them?
