I bought this at a used bookstore in a rush, so I didn't have time to realize it wasn't the "Call of Duty" I had hoped for.
That aside, the comic as a whole was underwhelming. The "bro" dynamics were nice, but the plot could have been developed more.
It had a kind of feel to it that gave me the impression it was created on a tight deadline as well.

**Review is for all four I could runs I found
If someone could tell me what I'm missing with these, I'd appreciate it. 19 issues spread over four separate runs, but it still feels like a whole lot is missing and with such a generic brand title as "The Call" or "The Call of Duty" my search skills can't find more info. I only ran across it at all in a teaser section at the end of a "Hood" comic.
The series itself has an interesting premise - normal first responders and the drama they face - but it quickly devolves into a time travel/supervillain cape-show that feels to poorly established to be self contained but at the same time to poorly integrated to belong in the larger Marvel 'verse.

Ok actually really shocked this was so much better than the cop substory? I need to know how this ends

Based on true events, and wrapped in a sci-fi time travel wrapping paper, this little gem deals with the after-effects of 9/11 and how firefighters and EMS personell dealt with those events. It has a great deal of psychology in it. It tells the story of a fire LT. and a paramedic as they try to unravel the mystery of a little girl who appears at accident and fire scenes unscathed and leaves hints of a coming war.

Great idea: let's look at how cops and EMTs operate in the marvel universe.
Then have the story connect with NOTHING in the MU.
That and some really uneven art just completely kills what could have been a brilliant idea.
