The Ward #1

Dark Horse opens a compelling new series with The Ward #1, pulling readers straight into what looks like a superhuman emergency room — the cover depicts a diverse medical team urgently working to stabilize a gravely wounded, horned creature on a gurney, blood-soaked and clinging to life. The team includes a determined young man, a sharp-eyed woman in orange, a redhead with tinted glasses, a reptilian security officer in uniform, and a figure in a lab coat lingering in the background, all rendered with gripping intensity by Andres Ponce under writer Cavan Scott. It's a fresh, intriguing premise that promises the high stakes of medical drama filtered through a world where the patients are anything but ordinary.
