Glitch: Unfiltered

by Robert Fitzgerald

The UnfilteredThey’re the faces of a generation — superpowered, sponsored, and always trending.

The Glitch are a team of young metas managed by M2 Talent Agency, the world’s first corporate machine built to monetize heroism. Every battle is scripted, every rescue is branded, and every follower count determines their worth. The public adores them — but behind the filters and sponsorship deals, they’re broken kids trying to live up to a lie.

When a staged fight turns real and the villains stop following the script, the illusion collapses. The Glitch are suddenly off the grid, off-brand, and on the run from the same agency that made them famous.

Can they survive without the cameras — or will the pressure and betrayal tear them apart before they find out who they really are?

The Glitch launches the Crucible Comics Universe — a grounded, fast-paced saga where fame is a weapon, truth is dangerous, and every hero comes with a price tag.
