This is the first outing for writing and creating a comic book for Colin and company. It starts out with a kind of hum-drum suburban neighborhood scene depicted in a fussy high-detailed style that's a bit distracting. It improves a few pages later.
As for starting the story with the suburban scene, I didn't think that there was much of a 'hook' there. People drop what they're doing and start walking... to Dallas. Interesting, maybe. But more on the level of something from Forrest Gump ("and then I just ran") rather than a nail-biting intro for a world falling apart. Luckily, the story moves away from that set up and into the personal life of Medical Intern Rudy. He's kind of a jerk with a tragic past, reminiscing about the day he wanted to be a doctor and his typical experiences in the ER.
