On stage. In the spotlight. There's no escape.
"Sharply written and drawn, with deft insight into the trappings of celebrity culture, GLITTERBOMB just might be the ultimate Hollywood horror story."
-Karen Berger (Founder of DC's Vertigo Imprint)
The real-world stuff has always been the more important thematic factor, but they seem more real now, something which can also be said about Holly Raychelle Hughes’ essay. In a way this makes Glitterbomb the book of 2016, in an ideal world we wouldn’t be at this point, but as a result, we have art like this to stand up and speak out. The series and creative team are taking a break until the back half of next year, operating like a TV show, but it’s guaranteed that this series will be something to think about until it returns.

The ending of the issue was a direct message to the reader, and it closes out this first volume perfectly. It's obvious the story isn't quite over though. Hopefully whenever the story picks up it actually has a meaning and doesn't go down the pointless sequel root. Or perhaps that'll be the point? Read Full Review
Glitterbomb is, as we speak, at a crossroads in its plot. It could go in about a thousand different directions, and all of them would be pretty awesome. I'm game for whatever Mr. Zub brings. Read Full Review
Glitterbomb is a scathing look at fame and our quest for it. It's a comic that could not be hitting at a better time, where people are less concerned with showcasing their talent and more interested in becoming famous. I wish Kim Kardashian would read this book. I could sell it on the fact that it has pictures. Speaking of, the artwork is pitch perfect, walking the fine line between emotion-filled scenes of drama and gore-filled segments of monstrous carnage. Plus, it leaves off with a cliffhanger where you just have to find out what happens next. Read Full Review
Recommended to anyone who has ever wanted to open their jaws and unleash a demonic, fanged death tongue all over somebody who made them feel less than what they truly are. Read Full Review
Glitterbomb continues to capture the frailty of the human condition via the awful behavior of Hollywood peers. In a world where it's all about how you look, Zub is revealing the inner truth of the characters is more monstrous than anything you could imagine — even when the script blows everything up and makes you shake your head with utter confusion!

Glitterbomb: The Fame Game certainly was an interesting read up until this point. Theres loose ends and a rushed confrontation that doesnt quite add up o the drama and horror of the earlier issues. Hopefully 2018 gives readers an opportunity to revisit this series and continue where we were abruptly dropped off. Read Full Review
Very good issue. Got crazier than I thought it was going to so early in the series. Seems as though the arc has come to an end and definitely leaves you wondering... what the #$%&???
