Kaydon Klay wants to be famous. She wants it more than anything else she's ever known. The dream is hers for the taking, and all she has to do is embrace the national tragedy that's put her in the spotlight... Fan-favorite writer JIM ZUB (WAYWARD, Uncanny Avengers) and artist DJIBRIL MORISSETTE-PHAN (All-New Wolverine, Ultimates) continue their twisted exploration of fame and failure. The entertainment industry feeds on our insecurities, desires, and fears. You can't toy with those kinds of primal emotions without them biting back.
People can reach all sorts of fame with a minimal amount of effort it seems but who knows the full consequences of doing so? I have a feeling that Glitterbomb will dive into that a bit deeper in every issue. Read Full Review
I simply cannot praise this book enough. Zub, Morissette-Phan and Russel continue right where they left off to create a tense character driven story with a deep sense of foreboding horror underlying everything. Read Full Review
GlitterBomb: The Fame Game is a stellar return, if only the colors weren't too much. Read Full Review
The first arc of Glitterbomb was fantastic, a gross, horrifying look at Hollywood and what that environment can do to a person. This second arc is off to a great start, ready to tackle similar themes but from a completely new angle. I am so, so happy this book is back. Read Full Review
While not necessarily empowering, there's a transgressive slant to the narrative that'll likely have you hoping the supernatural horror wins out over the real-world horror. Read Full Review
Glitterbomb: The Fame Game shows real life terror that happens on a daily basis in Hollywood. Fame is a claustrophobic, soul-crushing experience and young Kaydon Klay is about to see it up close and personal. This is something she's longed for all her life and the glitz and glamour is about to chew her up and spit her out. That doesn't even include the literal monster lurking in the shadows nearby!

A great debut for an existing franchise that keeps both new and existing readers intrigued, with strong art and letters to drive home deeper philosophical questions of the cost of fame. Read Full Review
I have some qualms with this issue, but it's still a good time. The art team delivers strong work, and the writing leaves many mysteries open to ponder. This issue is worth a look, though it may not be as affecting if you haven't read the original series. Read Full Review
I'm hopeful that Glitterbomb: The Fame Game will build on the series' success but add at least a few unexpected twists to its formula. Celebrity obsession and its many offenses provide ample room to explore the horrors and contradictions housed in modern society. For his part, Zub seems to be painting this tale with large brushstrokes, though I look forward to discovering where his characters " and we, the readers " end up amid the finer details.

Glitterbomb- The Fame Game #1 is shaping up to be a very worthy successor to it's predecessor, but there are some drawbacks that need to be addressed. Hopefully, Zub can make Kaydon and her mom more multi-dimensional and interesting. But most importantly, we see more gruesome gory deaths happen to some deserving Scumbags. Read Full Review
Jim Zub is and outstanding writer, and the first arc was great and after a hiatus it's back and Morissette-Phan's art work is solid. Goes just write for this book. The 2nd arc started off really good and expect the next 4 issues to be as good as the 1st arc. 9 out of 10 a great read.
