Medics

Set in the near future, this Dargaud Benelux series from 2021 follows battlefield medics operating in a world where warfare has been privatized. Written by Patrice Buendia and James Vandermeersch with art by Gilles Laplagne, the two-issue comic focuses on the ethical and physical toll of saving lives in a conflict zone where profit drives the fighting. It matters as a thoughtful, grounded take on modern military sci-fi, centering the often-overlooked perspective of medics.
