I love all of the characters in Jem & the holograms especially Pizzazz, Kimber, and Stormer. The colours and outfits for each of the girls is beautiful I die everytime. It's just a very cute series in general

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This series is so enjoyable. And colorful! It's been a while since I read volume one, but I like that this focuses a little more on the Holograms and Misfits instead of just their front runners. Their rivalry is still keeping me invested at this point, the sisterhood and friendships are great, and I love Kimber and Stormer. Can't wait for Volume 3 to arrive at the library.

I love how this comic goes to deeper and darker places than the 80s cartoon ever did. I am completely hooked.

Oh, gosh, this is still totally delightful. I love the characters and the bright colors and the fun design. It's just great.

I really like this series! I love it aesthetically - the colors, the clothes, the hairstyles. I also appreciated the queer relationship that just exists; it's not an "issue." I think the main reason I like this series so much is that it features strong female lead characters. In fact, most of the characters are young women - and they're all badasses. I really liked the new Batgirl comics for the same reason. I can't overstate how important it is to me as a comics reader to see characters that reflect the kind of person I am/the kind of person I want to be. It's not enough to have female characters - even female leads - if they're just going to be like the dumb stereotypes from the Archie comics. I want characters that are smart, strong, and witty - and, to my surprise, this series delivers.
I'm always on the lookout for more like this - if you have any suggestions, post a comment!

Where did Sophie Campbell gooooo?!?!?! Artist from first collected volume. Her art was way better IMHO.
