Medisin is based on a good idea, but the execution is a little lackluster. I'm interested in what will happen, but only vaguely so. The coloring is dull, the characters are all tropes and the whole story relies on telling instead of showing. Normally, authors should tell the reader what is happening, but in a comic book or graphic novel, visuals should take the center stage. The art in the book is pretty good, but the story needs some strengthening.

Supervilliany is a violent business, and supervillains need to go to the doctor, too. They also need their own hospital. I'd recommend Medisin to fans of comic books looking for a deconstruction of the genre.

A work that could have been so much better. A team of doctors on a SHIELD Carrier-type airborne hospital are being blackmailed into working for the baddies in the battle of the superheroes by some nasty alien-styled villain. And that's it - these three issues certainly don't make a full arc, and what with breaking off in the way this does and with the heinous levels of flashback and verbose exposition it's clearly just a beginning. I'd like to say I'd be back for more, but the average art and the really high levels of wordiness probably mean I won't. I'll miss the f-a-f new doctor though - yum and my. On a more serious note, the watermarking and bad font really makes the carrier's voice utterly unreadable.

I am choosing not to review it at this time. I just can''t finish it, and I'd rather just quit reading it.

A team of doctors helps heal the wounded super villains of the world. An interesting premise, and the second volume might be worth a read. This one is a decent foundation. Admittedly the superhero fan in my doesn't get the idea of aiding the villains of the piece.

A group of doctors with personal failures behind them are blackmailed into providing medical care to a group of evil super heroes. They mend and repair these evil beings with super powers who then go out to kill the good guys. It took a while for me to understand the storyline and get into what was happening. I feel this is just laying the foundation for Volume 2. An okay read.

I really liked the concept of this book, it was such an original idea, and I could see a lot of potential. Unfortunately the first couple of issues were quite disjointed and almost garbled, making it difficult to really get the story, and understand the characters and their motivations. Also I was not a fan of the artwork, which was very muddy in the first issue, although it did improve as the book went on. For me, the execution failed to live up to the potential.

An interesting concept and story however I felt the amount of dialogue didn't lend much to the artwork and vice versa.

This was just such a great concept - a group of people offering medical care to supervillains - but it fell completely flat for me. I didn't really like or connect to any of the characters and I'm not sure what the plot arc of this volume was even supposed to be - it just felt like it was all over the place. Also the copy I got had really small images and huge watermarks over every part of the page. I get that you don't want people spreading this everywhere, but if you watermark it so much that it makes it difficult for me to read that's not helping anyone.
