I don't find it surprising that the zombie apocalypse comes around because, despite knowing that zombisim was the ultimate result, people still went ahead and took Spin, an amazing drug that gave the highest high, and shortly (within a day) left users in a bad way. Brain eating bad way. So what if Spin might turn me into a rotten corpse? Even though that seems to have happened to everyone else, surely it won't happen to me!
Anyway, Fatima: The Blood Spinners is about our titular hero going about the wasted drug zombified world and shooting the zombies in the face. There is a lot of blood, and not a small amount of brains, guts and other bodily bits being blasted, kicked, stabbed, imploded and generally strewn about the panels. The story follows Fatima as she goes about business trying to kill zombies and save humanity, but well...the story was a bit all over the place.
Despite the fact that all the ladies have these unrealistic fetishized bodies I actually found them to be not so bad. They were intelligent, brave and strong, not the typical women found in science fiction pulps. And to be fair, everyone, not just the women, was dressed in form fitting outfits.
Things really got strange after the characters went into cryo and that's where the story lost me. Though I enjoyed the bizarre artwork of the mutant creatures, I couldn't see how these two parts of the story the zombie/drug busting of the first half and the strange science/mutation stuff of the second half, went together.
However, it was still interesting and not something one would read every day, so if seeing someone literally kick the brain out of a zombie is your thing, Fatima: The Blood Spinners has you covered.
