Nothing can quite compare to viewing a shows premiere at Comic Con with a room full of thousands of fans. We cannot show you that footage, but we can do the next best thing and revisit some of the clips we have already seen as we look back at the Comic Con event.
As the Comic Con crowd settles down the show opens with an intense hostage situation, Hollis the irate bank employee stands with explosives strapped to his chest and waves a gun at his hostages. He believes he has his former boss tied to a chair and covered with a black hood, but when the hood is pulled off it reveals, much to the delight of a screaming comic con audience, Mark Valley playing Christopher Chance, the Human Target. We soon learn a little bit about Chance's tactics as you can see in the following clip.

While recovering from that little adventure Chance catches his good friend and business partner Winston, played by Chi McBride, trying to turn away potential client, Stephanie Dobbs, who is played by Tricia Helfer- and is well received by the hooting and hollering Comic Con crowd as she makes her first appearance in the following clip.

The line "Will I get to ride on it?" gets a lot of laughs from the crowd. It speaks volumes of Chances character and his inner child.

Posing as an interpreter, Chance boards California's first bullet train along side the woman he is paid to protect. When greeting a Japanese business man Chance suddenly finds the ability to speak Japanese, and invents quite a colorful history for his new fake persona.

Some fans who are fluent in the language have commented Valley's enunciation is not up to par, but I'm a little ashamed to admit that to my uncultured ear it sounded fine. We shall have to forgive him, as his claims of being an interpreter are only an elaborate cover story.

Guerrero, played by Watchman's Jackie Earle Haley was a fan favorite. His debut scene was greeted by the crowd with cheers and laughs as the underhanded character gains the upper hand in a debate with two thugs. You might have to wait until January to catch that scene, but until then, you can enjoy Earle in this scene. It was another crowd favorite with Guerrero's matter-of-fact admittance of his double life.

The climax of the show is a close range gun battle between Chance and the hired hit man. This scene is only the start of the action that remains non stop until the end.

Be sure to catch the premiere yourself Sunday January 17, 2010!
