That’s a bit much for a blurb on a comic. Yeesh.
KATRINA HATES DEAD SHIT is meh. It’s a post-apocalyptic hellscape and the protagonist is an angry, sassy, smart-mouthed chick just trying to survive. Yawn, really. There’s nothing compelling about her. I don’t care about her after reading the first book. In fact I’m kind of grossed out because it looks like she was in a sexual relationship with a zombie. A jab at vampire fanatics, maybe? Don’t know, but it just came off gross that she’s basically screwing a rotting corpse and no one’s blinking an eye at that. I imagine there’s supposed to be some kind of satire here but it didn’t strike with me.
I think the concept is neat. Hell has risen to earth and those humans who don’t die in the scourge get relegated to the lowest levels of society and basically have to beg for scraps. That’s neat. Kind of Mad Max with hellspawn. But the characters just aren’t that great. They’re super angry, working to make them completely standoffish and unappealing. It’s a dog eat dog world (probably literally) and it’s everyone for themselves, but I guess I’ve just seen so many rehashed angry, cynical chicks in inappropriate-for-the-world tiny clothes that I can’t muster up the caring for yet another one.

Book Review
Title: Katrina Hates the Dead
Author: Russell Nohelty
Genre: Comic Book
Rating: ****
Review: So, this unlike other comic books I have read is quite short as it is a preview of the series. This series centres around the rapture and what happened to those souls left behind on Earth when Hell and all its demons makes an appearance. While it was gory in places it is more of a satire on religion more specifically the Christian faith. Katrina herself has an ex-roommate who is a zombie and slept with the devil himself yet manages to be snarky and cynical about everything.
Overall, I really liked this little preview and will be considering reading the whole series when I get a chance. Although as a warning it does satire the Christian faith quite heavily and therefore people of this religion should take caution when reading it as it can be seen as offensive in places.
