Healed #4

Gynn bought this back in 2011 at Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE). I read the first three issues of this series, but issues #4 and #5 got lost in the Random Stack of Unread Comics... Until now!

Title: Healed
Issue: #4
Date: 2011
Publisher: Homeless Comics
Writer: George O'Connor
Artist: Griffin, S.
Editor: Tracy O'Connor

The fourth chapter in George O'Connor and S. Griffin's anti-apocalyptic story of a mysterious event that cures all diseases and eliminates all death by natural causes. It's been a while since I last visited this series, but you can find my reviews of previous issues here: Issue #1, Issue #2, Issue #3.

Pharmaceutical executive Donna Gibbs recruits for her team investigating the Healing, and locates the body of the only person to die a natural death in the ten days since the event.

Meanwhile, a members of a small-town therapy group are faced with the realization that their mental illnesses seem to have been unaffected by the rest of the world's miracle.

This series continues to do a nice job of slowly unraveling its central mystery while presenting interesting and creative implications of a world suddenly without natural death.

Rating: 8/10
