A supernatural epidemic is sweeping the city of Kirton-sparing no one, human or not. The screams of the infected wail through St. Lilith's with no cure in sight. Patients are spilling into the hallways and being turned away. Dr. Nat Reeves is doing all she can, but she's just one person. Saving the city may require drastic measures . . .
Ponce delivers some beautiful art in the issue. The visuals definitely enhance the tension of the plot and the drama between the characters. Read Full Review
It isn't hard to imagine normal citizens of Kirton viewing the creatures from The Ward as an infection. But a healthy populace is a happy populace. The Ward # 4 finds both types of Kirton's citizens in danger. Will the actions taken by Natalie Reeves for St. Lilith, the city, and maybe even the world(?) be viewed as a solution or another side effect. Read Full Review
A comic book that features a highly infectious disease forcing victims into quarantine may not the at the top of many readers' pick lists, given the events of the last few years.

The Ward #4 is a solid ending to the story. I like how it ended up with a pandemic parallel because I think that gives it more impact. My main criticism is that while the main plot is straightforward, the side plots have a lot of detail that the series does not have time to explore. Much like the chaos of the ER, we are plunged into accepting whatever is thrown at us. In this case, it works, but I cannot help but wonder if one or two more issues might have let the creators flesh some points out more cleanly and less abruptly. Read Full Review
The final issue of the Dark Horse Comics series ends in the most logical narrative place but also concludes before it can show the drastic changes that this has on the world in a satisfying way. Read Full Review
