  Fans of the Hernandez brothers were probably already aware of this, but if you're looking for something a little different, you could do worse than sampling a 4-issue story from a modern master of indie-comics. Heck"even if you don't LOVE it, you'll get some street cred with the cool kids at the comic shop who won't touch an X-Men comic. Read Full Review

  Is "Fatima" #1 slightly ridiculous? I'd say so. But between Fatima using her two hairdryer-sized guns to blast off people's heads, and the best use of gratuitous bikini-wearing background characters, and I don't care. It's silly, it's fun, I'm definitely going to read the rest, too. Read Full Review

  Did you like Planet Terror better than Death Proof in Grindhouse? Then you should like this. Are you easily grossed out? Then stay away. Gilbert Hernandez isn't reinventing the wheel with Fatima: The Blood Spinners. He's just doing fun, bloody, zombie gross-out stuff on his own terms. This is not the most vital of comic books, but it is definitely fun. And fun is good. This comic has 39 headshots, 10 instances of government-sponsored assassination, 2 exploded eyeballs, 2 living bikini babes, 2 living dead bikini babes, 1 gang beat-down, and 1 instance of a character named "Puggy Bittermeat." Fatima: The Blood Spinners #1 earns a gore-drenched three and a half out of five stars. Read Full Review
