Jem and the Holograms, Vol. 2: Viral by Amy Mebberson, M. Victoria Robado, Kelly Thompson, Corin Howell, Emma Vieceli

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!
