Zub Tales

Announced at Image Expo today in Seattle, I’m thrilled to let everyone know about my new creator-owned comic arriving later this summer from Image Comics – Glitterbomb!

The AV Club has an exclusive look at the interior artwork and an interview:
Image Expo exclusive: Glitterbomb explores the deadly cost of fame

And here’s the official announcement:

GLITTERBOMB by Jim Zub, Djibril Morissette-Phan, K. Michael Russell, and Marshall Dillon.

Fan-favorite writer Jim Zub and newcomer Djibril Morissette-Phan come together with colorist K. Michael Russell and letterer Marshall Dillon for GLITTERBOMB.

“Probably the only thing I love more than comics is cinema,” said Morissette-Phan. “Which makes Glitterbomb a dream project since it’s a perfect blend of both.”

Set in Hollywood, GLITTERBOMB is a horror story about failed fame and blood-soaked revenge.

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

GLITTERBOMB is set to launch in late Summer 2016.

Although Wayward has some creepy moments, Glitterbomb is the first full-on horror comic I’ve put together. Working with Djibril, Michael, and Marshall on this series has been a wonderfully twisted ride. Djibril’s brushwork inks are incredible. Check out these sample pages:

As you’d expect, I’ll have a lot more to say about Glitterbomb in the days ahead. So happy to finally have this secret project revealed!
