Jem and the Holograms: Dimensions by Sophie Campbell, Kate Leth
4.0
A subtle end for one of my favorite comic series ever. Jem and the Holograms's IDW reboot was everything I could ever want out of a reboot, more diverse, queer as hell, powerful iconic designs, and capturing the heart of the original. This Anthology book ends the reboot likely never getting new issues until the next time Hasbro wants to make their more straight new version or something.
It's really hard to rate this because it is a really small anthology of stories which has some high highs but most are just average stories. The very clear standout is Catnap which actually added something to the lore of the reboot while having Sophie Campbell's final bow with the series as a huge one. Since these stories all only got have an issue of comics they mostly feel like they could have used more room to breath to make a fully fleshed out story but the unique art styles are fun to look at and while there was one story I just straight up didn't like I think overall if you are a fan of IDW Jem this is a must read (although perhaps on sale if buying).
