Glow #1 is a tremendous first issue. Tini Howard flexes her writing skills, creating a script full of the spunk, sass, and style that are synonymous with the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 8.5 – "GLOW" #1 is a delightful tie-in with authentic character voices, expressive art, fun colors and competent lettering. Read Full Review

This first issue is a funny and entertaining read and it feels good to get a new story about GLOW's lovely characters, but it merely scratched the TV series' already displayed potential to present heartfelt and heavier story lines. Which is why I'm hoping Howard will drive the comic a bit darker in the next issues, seeing as most of the story arcs in the series also started off lightly Read Full Review

Not just a faithful adaptation of the Netflix hit, GLOW is an outright extension that could easily be a leaked script for season 3. The all-female creative team is perfect for this book; they seize every moment and powerbomb it with laughs, story, character, and truth. If you don't watch the show, you will still enjoy everything about this debut issue. If this first issue is any indication, you'll enjoy the entire series that will follow. Read Full Review

This comic's all-female team - which is an exceedingly important move from IDW on this book in particular - does a tremendous job channeling the spirit of the streaming series, with a debut that will certainly make diehard fans happy, even if it isn't necessarily the best introduction for those unfamiliar with the show.

For those coming in from the show, the difference might be a bit jarring but for those new to it all, this debut issue is a fine introduction to this slice of entertainment history. Read Full Review

GLOW succeeds as a Teen Drama Sports comic but fails as a companion to the Netflix T.V.show. This comic if a fun read but lacks the depth and darkness you might be expecting. This will be enjoyed most by new readers to the GLOW concept. Read Full Review

This comic itself is a fun time, but it is afraid to embrace those other elements that makes the show special. Read Full Review
