I've never read any of the original Human Target stories, but Milligan does his thing here by deconstructing the mental state of a man who spends his life impersonating other people. It's vintage Milligan - if you like his other mind-bendy works, you'll probably like this one. That said, the first story in the collection works much better than the latter. The 2nd story spends too much time dwelling on the repercussions of the first, but without resolving anything meaningfully. If you're going to dredge up old dirt, do something with it? Please? ( )

Better than I remembered it being. Possibly I was retroactively affected by the brilliance of Human Target: The Final Cut? Anyway, these twisted skeins come together into a climax that is neither too convoluted nor not convoluted enough; the central conceit about the dude who's just so good at imitating other dudes is fun to think about; and if the psychological realness of the characters sits a bit uncomfortably alongside the extreme absurdity of their situations and actions, well, that's melodrama, I guess.
