THIS is what I have been waiting for. The way the comic is written, the good guys look kinda like the assholes and this more than ever makes the Misfits look like the better band. They throw their tantrums, but they're a family at heart and it's also all about the music at heart, which is very different from the cartoon Misfits (and better).
I want to see them take down Jem and the Stingers (or really just Riot) more than ever.
And I'm THRILLED the art is so cute. I HATE the current Jem artist. I don't know why she's dead set on making everyone look ugly 99% of the time.
that's what keeps throwing me out of the main Jem comic - the art bugs me because there are moments where everyone is drawn so well and then it goes "let's break every branch of the ugly tree as we fall down it"
And agreed - I'd love to see them take down Jem and Riot for the bullshit they've pulled.
(And I'm wishfully hoping we get an origin comic for the Stingers - I want to see how Raya ended up with them. If it hasn't been touched on in the main series)
From what IDW has put on the Misfits page - it looks like all the Misfits are going to have a focus issue (Stormer in #2 and Blaze in #3) https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/jem-misfits-2/ https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/jem-misfits-3/
and the cover for main series #24 looks intriguing https://www.idwpublishing.com/product/jem-holograms-24/ - I'm loving that haircut on Aja
