I had no idea that the great Gilbert Hernandez released a new comic book mini-series today. It's available on iTunes and Android, and at your local comic book shop.

FatimaComics luminary Gilbert Hernandez envisions his strangest, most thrilling future yet! A drug called "spin" offers the wildest trip imaginable, followed by its users' inevitable, rapid deterioration into undead flesh eaters. Despite the side effect, the drug is so popular that the human population is dying out! With no cure to be found, the beautiful, lovesick Fatima may be the only thing standing between the survivors and the apocalypse. Get ready for four issues of zombies, drug lords, and gorgeous women!

    Woo hoo! ¡Viva el Beto!

    This wonderful comic is not digital only.  You can also buy it at your Local Comic book Shop.

    Is this going to IRONICALLY include giant breasted women like usual? Are they going to talk endless of the burden of huge breasts interspersed with swimsuit and nude shots of said breasts?

    While some will praise the brothers, I am pretty tired of their fanboy/fanservice pandering.

    • Thad Boyd

       I don’t think anybody ever said it was “ironic”.

      And “fan service” isn’t the first thing I think of when I think of, say, Poison River.

      If you want to call out comic book artists for pandering, fan service, and exploitative depictions of women, it seems to me there are much better targets than Los Bros Hernandez.
