This volume felt super disjointed, and the different illustrators for each section added to this feeling. There was a lot of implied plot that was missing, but I’m still enjoying the colors and fashion and the queer storyline. I also particularly enjoyed Angry Aja.

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.

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

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.
