"First Do No Harm" Chapter 1
Health care for super villains! Criminal mastermind Malady has recruited a team of down on their luck physicians to provide medical aid for the world's worst bad guys. Led by the brilliant Ethan Sharp, the blackmailed doctors struggle to uphold their own ethical codes (or lack thereof) in violent and confusing battlefields. And when one doctor goes rogue, the rest learn a terrifying lesson from Malady.
An interesting introduction to a thought-provoking question, with some peripheral ideas that slightly detract from the main narrative. Read Full Review
The premise is great, the characters are interesting enough to care about, and there are more than enough intriguing subplots introduced here to make the prospect of picking up the second issue sound pretty damn appealing.

And for those who love dark, gritty, violent deconstructionist superhero stories this might be your new favorite comic. Read Full Review
