Finally! I finally got to read it. And, yes, I loved it, though maybe not quite as much as the first trade. It still manages to be a powerhouse of strong women, great body image, and style that I want to steal, shallow as that sounds.I'll do my best to review without giving too much away.Now that Jem and the Holograms have gained some fame, Jerrica is stuck with all of the management work while the rest of her band mates get to have lives. Jerrica pours over her e-mails for most of this book (At...

I liked the first volume better but you bet your buns I’m going to read the third anyway! Not much happened in this volume but there’s some good stuff set up for next time.

This was such a fun read. I especially enjoyed the muppet babies and karate kid references. I love that there are fuller figure characters and gay characters. I love the colors and illustrations. There is one issue where the art is really bad but thank goodness the art goes back to normal in the following issue.

I liked vol 1 of Jem better, but vol 2 was still a lot of fun. The bonus comic at the beginning with the Holograms each dreaming in different film universes was cute. The main story arc was very engaging. I wasn't a big fan of the last issue, mainly because it felt out of place tone-wise. The previous issue ends with something kind of serious, and then the next issue is "YAY CHRISTMAS." Kind of strange.This volume did introduce Eric and Techrat, which was fun. I liked their designs, and their sc...

Goddamit, this series is so ridiculous and so good. Patchy art and a meaningless 'what-if' issue, but the rest hits ALL MY FEELS. Better storylines than the first volume, especially now that Thompson is moving away from simply adapting old episodes (okay, unless she still is, bc honestly past the first few eps I wouldn't know. I try to act like I'm cool, but I'm not that cool).

I love everyone in this series. EVERYONE.

LOVE this series. This is MY Jem. The art is fantastic. So varied, so inspired, and a great read for that alone. The baby dream is super. I take a star off because it wasn't flawless to me - the story sometimes jumped around and was hard for me - but I just love what the creaters are doing for these worthy characters.

Read as single issues. I love this series. It's just so bright and fun! It's still everything I could have hoped for in a new Jem comic.Re-read 9/21/2016

The first issue of this volume was a little random, but it was smooth sailing after that.

OK. . . . I really liked this. <3 The art can be a little overwhelming at times, so many things going on at once and so many colors being thrown out everywhere, but the characters are interesting and this is honestly less about Jem and more about the other characters.

4 starsBuy itFirst there was some dreams of three of the girls. Jerrica’s was a bit predictable but otherwise good. Aja,s was fun and Shana’s was a spoof of starwars which was funny. Finally Kimber’s dream was a spoof of the 80s Muppet Babies tv show. It was sweet but a bit too much so. The rest of the volume continues with the Misfits out to get Jem and the holograms. They are working hard to get back at them. In story 3 or 4 Jem and the Holograms have a party and the misfits are undercover to

This series continues to be a chipper, brighter alternative to current, mainstream publications. What it lacks in depth and development, it makes up for in positivity and inclusiveness.Just like in the 80's, I'm finding myself more drawn to the plight of the Misfits than the Holograms; however I find that the dynamic between the Holograms is more ripe with humour, especially with Kimber and Aja.The biggest stumble in this volume was with the artwork in issue 10, which seemed completely off-model...

When I initially started reading Jem, the draw for me was nostalgia and the super appealing artwork of Sophie Campbell. This second TPB of the series is sorely missing Campbell's work. I was disappointed, not that I don't like the artists that have taken over, I just don't find the art as appealing as it was in Showtime. That being said, thank God Kelly Thompson is still at the writing helm on this series, because while in this volume I find the art lacking, the writing is top notch. A good stor...

I love Jem and the Holograms. It gives me a rather pleasant trip down memory lane, because as a child, I used to adore the films. I'm sure I watched them until the video tape was well and truly knackered.This was the second installment in a series that I found quite by surprise, and although I enjoyed this one, I didn't enjoy this as much as the first. I appreciate how this series is based around strong and feisty women, who are not size zero's, and appear to have other obsessions and interests

The second collected edition is a bit of a mish-mash, the main story doesn't advance that much but it's still a lot fun (and builds up to things that look interesting), and the Christmas story was very cute! The annual material was okay in places but it was my least favourite part.This comic series is GREAT in general though! ♥And ohmigosh I love Kimber! (>3<)

This was even better than volume one. I can't decide which characters is my favorite. They are so lovable and adorable and funny.

I am devouring these and in love with them. Enough of the original to keep Jem fans happy bit then it's a new take with a host of new selling points like diverse/Plus size/LGBTQ characters who are ace. So much fun too. In love with it all.

I read this in the individual issues + Outrageous Annual + Holiday Special, and the only issue I didn't give 5 stars to was #10 Jem and the Holograms (2015-) #10. The artwork in #10 didn't have the same feeling to it as the others. Even though the artists have varied in other issues you can still see the familiar aspects to each character and they still look like themselves. Like Aja and Rio's Asian features are gone, as one example. The writing doesn't have the same feel to it either and comes

I bought this volume a month or so ago but just got around to reading it because I was a little disappointed to see that Sophie Campbell didn't draw it! I love her art style. But the writing is still on point and there is still a lot to love about the artwork in this book. Story-wise, I love the introduction of Eric Raymond and Techrat (especially Techrat) and I'm looking forward to seeing the character development of Pizzazz, which this book started to really touch upon. I'm also thrilled and a...

****SPOILERS!!!****I love this comic series so much. My inner child is singing, but only Misfits lyrics because Jem songs still kinda stink. So many characters I remember from the cartoon are stepping into this new plot. We've got Eric now, and Techrat, and I love the new take on Eric. He didn't discover the Misfits, he was brought in to help rein them in. I love how they get to business with him basically saying, You know, you signed a terrible contract. This is what you get for signing before
