This TP collects the first 5 issues in this series. The way the characters look in the cover is not the same way they are drawn in the comic book.
Before the comics there is a forward by Len Wein where we learn about the characters in this book:

We learn that Len Wein, together with Bernie Wrightson is the creator of the Un-Men and that they were a small throw away idea that appeared in Swamp Thing. We also learn that he created Wolverine, New X-Men, and The Human Target (that I'm actually interested in after reading the Wikipedia article on him).

In the back of the TP it says that it is intended for adults, and that means one little panel with nudity and some violence.
The drawing style reminds me of the Fables TP #1 only good. Meaning not over detailed drawings, with the same color - like a simple cartoon, but of course not that bad - there is shading using black color and shading using the computer which means taking a part of something and making it a tad darker which is done in many comics nowadays.
Now no hate mail - I didn't like the drawing in Fables because it was simplistic, the different things that were added to emphasis the fables motif that were inconsistent and confusing, the color of the round up the suspects scene in the last two parts (meaning issues) of the TP - if I remember correctly it was all pink and all blue or something like that without any explanation. Also the shoddiness of the drawing and coloring - books in the shelf weren't fully drawn making them look attached in the bottom, and the books were the same color of the shelf that was the same color of the wall - different materials with the same exact color. I had other problems with Fables TP #1 but this review isn't about that - I just wanted to fully explain what I meant by "like Fables TP #1" since it isn't exactly the same but this is the best comparison I can make right now. Also the paper is similar - the paper that actually feels like paper (similar to the JLI HC) and is not glossy.

The art isn't great and isn't lousy - it transfers the story in a good manner which is what I want. I'm more interested in the story part of the comic book. There are sort of thought balloons which resemble old HTML buttons - the ones with the color that fades as you go along, and is a rectangle with rounded edges, back when people wanted to make their HTML sites more appealing.

This story starts with a character that we later learn is a freak and a government agent, that has gone to investigate a body of another freak that someone found. We learn that the freak that was found dead was murdered and this guy was sent to investigate. He goes to a freak haven which the government had to give freaks after the fact that they were experimented upon was revealed. A piece of land of their own, in an old atom bomb test site - uncle Sam isn't very nice.

When he gets to this freak haven where the dead freak lived in, he discovers that they are divided - the "real freaks" against the fake freaks like himself. The real freaks are people with extra arms for example, and the "fake" freaks are people like him (he's an albino) and a man with tattoos all over his body. He also learns that some people aren't happy about the current management which is a guy that rarely shows his face in public and is very secretive.

Before each part there is a page with a drawing of the freak that was found dead, and there is a nice quote that will appear in the part.
I wish they had added one more issue and made it a six issue TP that I could give people to read and enjoy, but they decided to turn this to a monthly (that was canceled) but there is a second TP that collects issues 6 to 13 that I will get and read and maybe that will change my mind. The fifth issue feels too dense and adds an unneeded and uninteresting twist, and is the part with the most sound effects (onomatopoeias) which is jarring and turns an until now slowly building comic book to an action comic book - it feels like the last issue is in fast forward. Also there are unexplained things happening in the last issue (maybe the second TP will clear them up) where for example someone needs to get to a helicopter and is blocked by someone but somehow still succeeds to get to the helicopter and operate it. Also there is a special word balloon in the last part that makes the text very hard to read. There is a nice use of word balloons in this TP especially in a freak that is two people and that means that word balloons will point to the same place making it hard to decide which one talked, but the word balloons used make it easy to distinguish the two. There is also a word balloon for a talking mechanical robot - the one that doesn't move much and is in some fairs and is just there to make several movements and say several things, and his word balloon is like an A4 page with rounded edges and there are spikes in the bottom and in the top of the word balloon.

That last issue spoiled it a bit for me - it wasn't going to be great, but it was going to be enjoyable and something I could have wholeheartedly recommended, but there is the second TP and maybe that fixes everything or makes this enjoyable comic book a great one - I'll buy that and see. I'll read more about these characters in Swamp Thing which is a character I'm interested in, and I'm now interested in a TP of The Human Target, and in things Len Wein writes, but this is not an endorsement and you shouldn't run to the stores and buy his comics. I'm not so sure about the creators of this TP and I need to wait for the second TP to be sure, and also it seems they didn't write and draw much.

It starts with a murder mystery but calling it a murder mystery comic book is like calling Watchmen a murder mystery comic book. Some of you might have read about these characters in Swamp Thing - it is stated that some of these are old but most of them are new characters. Also there is the problem that happens mostly in DC TPs to me, which is the shorter cover - the cover is a bit shorter and the pages stick out which is annoying to me because I have at least 10 TPs like that, and the most serious one was Fables TP #1, but it's usually just a millimeter of space, but each new TP adds to my opinion that the glue fumes in that printing press are working their magic...
