MetaDocs: Anatomy Of A Superhero

by Joeming Dunn, Rod Espinosa, Wes Hartman

What happens when the dust settles after an epic battle and the participants lie wounded and dying? Enter the MetaDocs, a crack team of extraordinary doctors and surgeons trained for just such a purpose. Young Dr. Rayos is heading for his first day at work with the MetaDocs team, when his train is attacked by the mighty villain Lord Drehd. When Drehd's assault leaves several super-heroes badly injured, it's up to the MetaDocs to come to the heroes' rescue! But things get interesting when Lord Dhred himself ends up in the ER! Will the villain's evil past affect Dr. Rayos' decision to heal him? And if not that, what about the Drehd's powerful auto-defenses? Just another day for the MetaDocs.

I re-read this after Medisin to compare the two (I'm using this as a place holder for all three issues of Metadocs as it appears it was never done as a collection).

Compared to Medisin there is better artwork and better writing with a lot of attention spent on the medical treatment (makes sense as the co-writer is a doctor). Does any one character stand out, possibly the head of the hospital Dr. Wayne (An homage to Bruce Wayne's father Dr. Thomas Wayne I wonder).

As a medical/procedural type of series I do give this high marks. I enjoyed this re-read and that is not always something that happens.

I thought it was good, not the best comic. I love the idea and concept.
