Bomb

Bomb - Sarah Mussi In Bomb, Mussi presents us with a world in which an ISIS-like cult is sweeping the globe, with celebrities and teens announcing their involvement in the Brightness Brotherhood with pride. With bleached hair, tattoos of flames up their arms, and slogans on their shirts about death, martyrdom, and rebellion.

The end time is here. Have you converted yet?

We radicalize your sons. We sacrifice your daughters.

We can get you. Anytime. Anywhere.


This cult has become so popular that even the kids who aren’t involved sometimes choose to follow the look. The government is trying to shut them down by outlawing certain practices, and even taking on a “shoot first, ask questions later” policy towards anyone even suspected of being a suicide bomber, but still the cult grows.

And parents just don’t know what to do; their children are saying that joining the Brightness is the only sure way to stay safe.

More people are drinking the Kool-Aid with each passing day.
