Glitterbomb, Vol. 1: Red Carpet by Djibril Morissette-Phan, K. Michael Russell, Jim Zub
1.0
This has been my least favorite graphic novel to date.
I understood the important message this was trying to give off (I mean, it is stated several times throughout). Yes, fame is ugly and the hollywood life can ruin people. Yes, there are awful things happening behind the scenes and awful people who ruin the businesses.
But I did not understand the story of things at all. What's with the water monster thing? I don't know. Why does it seek revenge? I don't know. Maybe these will be answered later on, but I still don't think it would be enough to make this story make sense. I didn't care for the characters and I really don't see how future issues could expand any further. It felt like it could have been a standalone since everything happened so quickly. Even the dark issues being dealt with were just skimmed over.
Overall, fairly disappointed in a story that could have had a lot of impact.
