Blasfamous by Mirka Andolfo is a bold and visually striking graphic novel that blends horror, satire, and dark comedy into a wild critique of celebrity culture. 

Set in a world where fame is akin to divinity, the story follows Clelia, a reigning pop goddess whose stardom is threatened by a mysterious newcomer. With the help of her demonic agent, Father Lev, Clelia fights to maintain her status in a cutthroat industry where losing followers is more than just a career setback.

Blasfamous is a thought - provoking read : the graphic novel blends supernatural elements with a biting commentary on the entertainment industry. It tackles themes of power, corruption, and religious iconography in ways that may push some readers out of their comfort zones. Mirka Andolfo’s art is truly mesmerizing. I loved the illustrations, but had several WTF moments while reading this graphic novel. It is visually extremely violent, which works very well with the horrific world that Mirka Andolfo imagined.
