Both as great as I wanted and not quite. It was a lot of fun - girls with ambitions and goals, bright colors, and friendship - all delightfully reminiscent of the original, though perhaps with more logic. At the same time there was something missing in the characters for me, though yay for different body types! To be honest, it's not quite the same without actual music, though the musical portrayals on the page are pretty cool. I'd read more.

DoubleLane I loved this cartoon as a kid💖 6y
jmtrivera @SapphiresHaze Me too! It was my absolute favorite! I watched it last year with my husband though, and it's legit crazy. Still, I love the nostalgia. 6y

When I was a kid Jem was my jam. So Im gonna wait to pass judgement on the graphic novels/comics until Ive read a few volumes. So Im judging this as a new/old thing...not to be compared to the old/old thing.

2. Cake pops, but I eat donuts more often. Cake pops take so long to make, and I won't let myself pay that much at Starbucks for one single pop.
3. Nope but I'm in the mood to read some comics this weekend.

What if you could take Jem and the Holograms and make them less "Barbie" and more "you"? What if they could be infused with 80s awesomeness but for the present?
Well, your wishes have come true!! It's #showtime !

This fulfills # 5 on the #ReadingWomenChallenge and after reading the afterword, I'm even happier about that - shout out to artist Sophie Campbell and her amazing courage and talent!!! May you be an inspiration for those who see this!

TommieMarie74 Omg! I loved J and the Holograms!! I had one of the dolls too...Aja, I think. She had blue hair, a pink shirt, and a purple snakeskin mini skirt. 💕💗💕 7y

Didn‘t love the artwork. I do like the story so far. The changes and updates are ok with me. I do hope that they give Jerrica more courage (because in the original she was a badass). I will continue with the series.

I was pleasantly surprised by the graphic novelization of my beloved 80s cartoon, Jem. I thought of it when I saw that today's prompt was #glamorous; the cartoon theme song is imprinted in my memory.

This was fun and nostalgic! I'm too young to have watched Jem when she first hit television, but I rocked out to hand-me-down cassettes from my cousins. This wasn't the most original or unpredictable story, but I still enjoyed it. The colours, fashion and music is very 1980s.

Vol1-3 I'm glad I took the time to read the full volumes of this. I was a somewhat subdued Jem fan in the 80s. This version of Jem is pretty well done. The characters are wonderfully different races, lgbtqia -and body types. It's set in today's world with some 80s twists, like each character having a dream of themselves in an 80s movie or tv show in vol 2. My friend would still kill for a coloring book of this. Thanks @moranadatter for reminding.

moranadatter I'm glad you enjoyed them! 8y

This was my March. My favorite books were There I Go Again & Books for Living. I heard Johnny Cash's voice in my head the entire way through his memoir ☺

I didn't listen to any audiobooks this month, because I've been catching up on podcasts. In my defense, one of those podcasts is The Baby-sitters Club Club🎧

April goals include finishing the book I'm currently reading, and digging into a few ARCs from #NetGalley.

I was a huge Jem fan as a kid! I had the dolls. I watched the show. I sang along with the songs.

I pretend that film they made doesn't exist, but the other night I decided to borrow the comics on Hoopla. And I liked them way more than expected! It felt fresh, but still familiar!

My only regret is that Hoopla doesn't have all volumes available, only the first two. I'm definitely in for the next one!

gibblr Same same same about all the Jem stuff as a kid. I saw these awhile ago and was intrigued...maybe now I'll pick them up! 8y

Read this for my #womenincomics personal challenge and not sure how to rate. There's so much to like about this comic and I would read it again if from the library but this is ultimately not my kind of story. I have no prior love of jem and whilst I loved the diverse cast and a good focus on female friendship it's just not my bag. Perfect for a younger audience though, I'd have no qualms giving this to child relations.

ErikaSB My eight year old will love it, that's for sure! I'll have to look for it for her! 8y
Weaponxgirl @ErikaSB it would be perfect for that age range. It's really not bad I just don't feel honest if I didn't love something and put a pick, I feel there should be a couple more rating systems added. 8y

Bakingbookworm I found an old book from my teenage years over the weekend and it had a bookmark made from a scrap of paper from my binder that said 'You lose my place, I break your face'. 😳. Apparently I was quite adamant that I not lose my place. 8y

I was worried about my childhood heroes being remade for a new generation, but they really knocked this out of the park! While still being TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!, the characters are made over to be more modern and realistic. I love that LGBT characters are present and different body types are represented. This was so much fun to read and I can't wait to start Vol. 2! ⚡️🦄💕✨

Uh oh.. I am and 80s kid and Jem was my hero as a child. The introduction to the graphic novel, Jem and The Holograms is basically a plea to give this new reinvented version a chance. Bad sign?

moranadatter Nope. I'm also a child of the 80s and a Jem fan. It's wonderful. It modernized Jem and remained true to the spirit of the show. 8y

They authors struck the perfect balance of nostalgia and reboot - this is a totally modernized Jem, but still totally recognizable as the Jem I sang along to in the 80's.
