Marvel back in January and progressed to a full-on obsession. 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 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 was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.
Please buy all her stuff so that she can buy (and wear) more pajamas. Fortunately pajamas and writers go hand in hand (most of the time). Kelly's ambitions are eclipsed only by her desire to exist entirely in pajamas. Other major credits include: A-Force, Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps, Jem and The Holograms, Misfits, Power Rangers Pink, and the creator-owned mini-series Mega Princess. She's currently writing ROGUE & GAMBIT, HAWKEYE, and PHASMA for Marvel Comics and GHOSTBUSTERS for IDW. Kelly has published two novels - THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING (2012) and STORYKILLER (2014) and the graphic novel HEART IN A BOX from Dark Horse Comics (2015). Currently living in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend and the two brilliant cats that run their lives, you can find Kelly all over the Internet where she is generally well liked, except where she's detested. Her love of comics and superheroes have compelled her since she first discovered them as a teenager. KELLY THOMPSON has a degree in Sequential Art from The Savannah College of Art & Design.
