The entertainment industry feeds on our insecurities, desires, and fears. You can’t toy with those kinds of primal emotions without them biting back…

“A gut-punch of glitz and blood and starf**ked culture. You want to read this.”
– Chuck Wendig (Blackbirds)

“Taut, human, creepy s**t. Finding a new angle on the Hollywood meat factory is hard as hell, but this is all kinds of neat.”
– Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine)

“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)

Want to find out more about Glitterbomb? Here are some interviews:

And advance reviews are very strong:

• Newsarama: 10/10 “With its creature-feature hook and its blunt focus on the dark things women are subjected to in Hollywood, Glitterbomb #1 is a triumph.”

• Nerdist: 5/5 “Zub and Morrissette-Phan nail it. Glitterbomb #1 looks and reads great..”

• Adult Podcast For Kids: “I cannot recommend this book enough. A fantastic read.”

• Comic Buzz: “The art style is detailed and realistic, with a dash of the surreal, creating an eerie atmosphere befitting the material.”

• Comics Grinder: “Glitterbomb provides a clever horror vibe as well as great biting social commentary.”

• Critical Threat: “Farrah is one of the most instantly relatable characters I’ve read in comics, or any other media. I think it speaks to both Zub’s skill as a writer and Djibril Morissette-Phan’s talent as an artist.”

• Impulse Gamer: 4.9/5 “Overall, this new series has the potential to be the next sleeper hit from Image Comics. The story by Zub is intense, and it will grab the reader’s attention right from the start.”
