It all started with the first collected volume of Ms. In my tiny world, 2015 was the year of the comic book. I kind of like the fact that I will be ending my 45 book year-long reading challenge with a comic book (and Jem no less!). I think the artwork for this story is fantastic, and really adds so much to it.
Most of the characters seem well developed, and I definitely want to learn more about them in future installments. I love the fact that this is based on an all girl pop/rock band, and all of the characters are wonderfully diverse, and that makes for a rather attractive read for me.

I want many, many more issues to come, because it makes me happy every time I get to read a new one. This take on Jem was everything I could have possibly hoped for. It's really cool to see such a variety of women, all getting to be gorgeous and awesome. Tall and slender, short and curvy, and everything in between. Campbell goes way beyond that by giving the characters diverse body types, as well. I've long since lost count of the comics I've read where every female character has the exact same face. I also love the diversity in the characters. Campbell's character designs have the perfect style without being exact imitations of the original. And I love that Kimber and Stormer finally get to have the adorable romance that I'm long since convinced the cartoon was hinting at.Īnd the art is quite perfect, too. The most radical change, in my opinion, was to Rio, who actually becomes kind of amazing. Which leads to characters that are at once instantly recognizable and fresh. And it was done by a creative team that obviously has a deep affection for the source material. Which means that this version of Jem is, indeed, largely made of pink glitter. Jem is the best kind of reboot, one that knows what it's adapting and what made it successful in the first place. And, as it turns out, an excellent choice. So I actually bought each issue as it came out. But Thompson sounded so enthusiastic, and I was hearing really good things. Hearing about a comic book reboot, I was initially not sure if I wanted any part of it.
Not especially deep, no, but fun and sparkly as I remembered. When the DVDs came out a few years ago, I was happy to see that they basically held up. Jem Jem was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid. Jem was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.
