This volume was a little less interesting to me- Dark Jem- a virus is in Synergy. The concept is intriguing but I guess I wasn't enamoured with the way it played out, plus I think the wrap of it was just a little too easy.
Also, Aja and her man are def my fave 💙💙💙

I‘m all laid up after my second COVID vaccine. But I‘ve been reading the Jem graphic novels and I must say that they are DELIGHTFUL. Updated to be inclusive and gay as hell, I highly recommend them. Sophie Campbell is one of my favorite comic artists also.

Lauram I can‘t see Jem without singing the theme song (I‘m old). I hope you‘re feeling better soon! 3y
SkeletonKey @Lauram - Hah! Same, we must both be old 😉 Thanks! 3y
DivineDiana Glad you are fully vaccinated! 👏🏻 3y

plemmdog Gem was a generation behind me (I‘m 56) so I never fully appreciated it, but I had a writer friend in Nashville who was the former voice of Pizazz. Sadly, she died of recurrent breast cancer right before the pandemic. Glad you‘re vaccinated! 3y
NatalieR Thank you for getting vaccinated. 🙏🏻 3y
SkeletonKey @plemmdog - Wow! That‘s so sad, I‘m sorry. What a loss. I think I‘m going to rewatch it. 3y

Awe 😞

Chrissyreadit Are these older graphic novels? 4y
ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit they are a few years old. Like 2016 I believe. But they are based on the 80s cartoon Jem and the Holograms (which was one of my favorites growing up). I had happened upon them by chance and well. I love love love them. They are so beautifully drawn and they made them very current but keeping some trueness to the characters. 4y
Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie It‘s so funny how many 80‘s shows are iconic! My brothers watched Jem a lot. Those days when cartoons were on Saturdays ... 4y

Last week, #TheChild in me lost her mind at Awesome Con, seeing the Star Trek TNG cast, actors from The Princess Bride, and meeting the voice actor from Jem! I had to buy a Pop from her, and followed it up with buying a Jem comic book this week. 😊😊😊

I really liked the Dark Jem storyline. Sophie Campbell's art is phenomenal as always. I love Jem Bartel as well. I am looking forward to reading volumes 4 and 5.

Second read of the #24in48 challenge - I absolutely adore this blast from my childhood. This one took a quite darker turn than the last few - hence the title. 😏

The writing has always been the weak point of this series, but this volume was particularly bad. Plotting was super-choppy, and even the art fell flat for me a bit. I did enjoy seeing Pizzazz's vulnerable side and that Rio is more of a stand-up guy in this series. I'll probably stop here, despite my fierce Jen fan girl love.

With all that is happening in the world, I have been going to my comfort reads. Books I loved as a kid. Anne of Green Gables. Little House on the Prairie. And Jem. Only Kelly Thompson could do a reboot of a nostalgic, iconic series & make it modern & fun to read. (FYI the original does not hold up.)

Carol I love this series! They've done such a great job modernizing a childhood icon. 8y
