Review by C.J. Bunce
Just as the classic 1970s first responder television series Emergency! is celebrating its 50th anniversary today on COZI TV (with a new documentary and appearances by stars Randy Mantooth and Kevin Tighe), the medical/rescue genre is getting adapted to superheroes in a new comic book series.
It’s a time of conflict. One faction is open-minded and willing to take on anything that comes its way with arms wide open. The other is ready to shut the door on those who aren’t the same. It all happens in a world where some people have superpowers and some don’t. In the tradition of Dark Horse Comics’ The Ward, with the action of Hotel Artemis, and the secrecy of The Star Chamber, the new monthly medical thriller Crashing from IDW Publishing follows a doctor in triage addressing patients who are “different” in the emergency room.
