This is a fantastic idea, knowledgeably executed. Who looks after metahumans when they get injured? Normal doctors can't always help so imagine a sanctuary where villains and heroes are treated by metahuman doctors and nurses who when off-duty may themselves be heroes or even a villain. I read the first comic and then went on to read the rest of the way too short mini-series. Issues 0 and 1 form part of the same story about the aftermath of a super battle and how the medics deal with both the injured heroes and villain whilst also showing the hectic chaos of a Accident & emergency for metahumans in between.
Code Black seems to be a stand alone and deals with a zombie-like outbreak in the hospital and introduces the ruthlessness of the chief medic. Whilst less structured as a story, it still expand on the characters and leaves you wanting more. Not the typical superhero comics, refs of superhero RPG campaigns would love this if just for the possible background.
