Deze Humble Bundle Leading Ladies Glitterbomb-serie speelt zich af in de harde wereld van Hollywood waarin het lijkt alsof iedereen als een dweil behandeld wordt.
Alles bij elkaar wat magertjes en niet in de laatste plaats omdat de tekeningen mij niet zo kunnen boeien. Soms kan ik personen niet van elkaar onderscheiden en is het gezicht helemaal blank gelaten alsof men geen tijd had om de tekening af te maken.

In het tweede deel is het een jong meisje dat beroemd wordt omdat zij de oppas was van de en public wraaknemend horrormonster. De beroemdheid stijgt naar haar hoofd maar het wraakmonster blijft in de buurt voor als ook haar onrecht wordt aangedaan. En dat gebeurt natuurlijk.
Tja, ook dit kon mij te weinig werkelijk boeien. Te veel oppervlakkigheid.

Op de laatste pagina's staan nog een aantal columns van mensen die vertellen over wat hun is overkomen in de wereld van glitter en roem, verhalen die bol staan van frustratie. Ik weet niet of dit nou de manier is om dit onderwerp aan te kaarten. ( )

If you read the first one, you'll know that this story is full of blood, monsters, and a lot of celebrity types. But not the kind that you'd expect. Kayden is a young girl, almost seventeen, and a wannabe celebrity. I haven't read anything like this before, and once I started it I couldn't put it down. The characters that do continue on through the series of comics are consistent, and they react to things I think like anyone would react in the situations they're placed in, if not better. I'm glad to know them.

Kaydon Klay is a teenager who wants, more than anything, to be famous. Now she has her chance--in the wake of a national tragedy in Hollywood. She was the friend of, and babysitter for the son of, the woman who has murdered dozens of Hollywood stars in a spectacular and horrific event. An agent quickly latches on to her, most of her classmates turn on her, and as scary as her first media event is, she is hooked. There's a thrill of power and a promise of wealth.

There's also her mother, who is alarmed by the turn of events, desperately worried for her daughter, and determined to maintain her own high moral and ethical standards. The money that Kaydon thinks will please her hardworking, financially struggling mother is the final straw, the proof that Kaydon is being drawn into a lifestyle that will destroy her.

In the midst of all this, Kaydon finds herself targeted by a strange and terrifying woman, who is apparently the real force behind the murders, preaching a terrifying message of pain being the only thing to cling to.

Kaydon is just sixteen, and she's surrounded by terrifying and dangerous choices.

The art is very good, and to the extent that I don't like it, it's because it's depicting things I wouldn't ordinarily have chosen for entertainment. Kaydon's character is central. She starts out an uncertain, scared teenager, and changes and grows under the pressure of the forces trying to consume her.

In the end, I liked it. Character is at the core of what I enjoy in fiction, and Glitterbomb:The Fame Game delivers on that.

Recommended with reservations.
