  I tend to drool over Oni Press books a lot because they produce titles I’m interested in. What was very different about the book was the story structure and genre. This book is essentially a “monster of the week” type book that’s usually done on TV and quite successfully, but I cannot think of one success in comic format. Bad Medicine is very different from the typical Oni Press title and a great edition to the world of comics. It shows that you can capture the style of X-Files and other TV series in the sequential art form. Read Full Review

  Bad Medicine is an engaging read, but I feel like the first arc was over too fast. It definitely felt like they could have spent a bit more time expanding the mystery than they did. It seems very sudden when the story is over, ending off with a couple of pages of set-up for the next arc. I would have been happier to see the set-up built into the story a bit better. Overall though, a well thought out book that certainly has enough action to keep the casual reader involved. Over time, with a little work, I could see this being a top-notch series. Read Full Review
