HEALED #1 tells the story of a world without disease or illness. People only die from accidents, murder or suicide.
This first issue has 3 vignettes of people dealing with the new status quo, a priest seeking to save his parishioners, a corporate executive for a multi-national company, and a mother by the bedside of her dying daughter.
Great pacing in this story and an interesting concept, problems of overpopulation and food demands are juxtaposed against realistic stories of people emotionally reacting to “The Healing”.
O’Connor is on to something great here, recommended for fans of Y The Last Man.
