Jem and the Holograms: Dimensions

First off this didn't continue the previous story line of the alternate universe of Jem and the Misfits, so that was disappointing. Then, they brought in different artists for each little story for this series..fail. When will they learn we don't like that, especially when they drastically change how the characters look?!? Though the best part of the whole series was when Shana said "Don't wake me up unless Jason Momoa posts work out videos." That had me laughing out loud as that is TOTALLY me. Otherwise this series is cute at points, okay at others, and is just a stand alone of short stories. Not my fav, not the worst either, and it also doesn't hint if there will be more or not.

This is a cute collection of mini-stories featuring the Holograms and the Misfits. The work is from a variety of artists and writers. It continues the trend of dramatically changing the art style (and therefore the appearance of the characters) from story to story. I'm not a big fan of this, probably because I'm so in love with how Sophie Campbell draws for this series.I do hope they wind up resuming regular story lines soon. This is a nice diversion, but I'm ready for something more substantial.

I both enjoyed this collection and was not overly impressed by it. As it is an anthology, each story is its own contained tale so they can feel a little choppy and rushed at times. They're also not in any sort of chronological order, so there could be a lot of confusion from that as the stories jump back and forth through timelines. I loved the idea of each of them and the world that they tried to introduce readers to, but it just wasn't as great as the beginning of the run. The writers seemed as though they wanted to get in as much story as possible, but didn't give us the build-up, the backstory, or even the world in which to immerse ourselves so that it made sense. As a result, there weren't many memorable stories and a month from now I probably wouldn't be able to retell any of them. Overall, cute but I'd borrow it rather than buying it if you're interested in reading Jem's conclusion.
