IDW Jem and the Holograms #2 Review

Alright folks before we get to Showtime synergy

again, I know I said this last time with the

Batman Beyond Justice Lords Beyond episode, but

Wanted to put this in front of of the Jim of

the Holograms number two review My mom passed

away TF2 and Mike here, and I'm not doing too

well with it, but I Just want to let everyone

know this was recorded before Actually, no this

one was recorded just after my mom passed I needed

something to to lift my spirits and we decided

to go ahead and review IDW's Gem of the Holograms

number two but you know I'm putting on a brave

face in this episode of the podcast so hope everyone

enjoys it and The Pull Bag will be back eventually.

I don't know when. I know we'll be back next

week with Gates of Gotham to wrap up Batman Month

this year. But after that, no clue. Make your

great escape into comics. Gem here, and I've

jumped inside The Pull Bag to discover the stories

in my own comic, Gem and the Holograms, from

IDW Publishing. Listen in as Mike, Amy, and Nicole

give their thoughts on the latest issue, who

are all going to have a truly outrageous time

inside The Pull Bag. Welcome to The Pull Bag's

Back Issue Classics. Join us as we talk about

comics from yesteryear, from DC, Marvel, and

more. So open your ears to hear our discussion

of the older continuities, as the Back Issue

Classics are also what's in The Pull Bag. Hello

and welcome to The Pull Bag. This is yet again

another Back Issue Classics. This is Back Issue

Classics episode 29. I am one of your hosts,

TFJ on mic. Joining me is Lady Rek, hello. Hello.

And Nicole Hailstorm, Beatles Diva, hello. Aloha.

I go by several names. It's like you have four

names, two of which are the same. Well, I'm like

the doctor. I've got to reinvent myself, you

know. I'm still the same. Get your damn Doctor

Who out of my gym. I was fighting words. So this

is Back at You Classics, episode 29. We're going

to be covering Jim and the Holograms from IDW

Publishing, issue number two. This came out a

while ago, about a month ago or so, but you know,

certain things have come up and yeah, we weren't

able to get to it right away. so we have a crap

ton of covers I think this this issue had eight

total covers besides me and Amy did you get the

box set for this one or no I did not sorry I'm

the I'm the downer on the podcast so the box

set comes with covers a through e Cover a is

the regular cover that everybody gets its Misfits

front and center with their instruments and all

that good stuff, you know looking like they're

rocking out Similar to the issue number one cover

where we had gem of the holograms doing the exact

same thing What do we think of the regular cover

Nicole? I like it. I think it's fun You get all

you get all the all the lovely ladies here do

what they do best love it What about you, Amy?

I like it because it shows so much personality.

I mean, you can pretty much kind of get an idea

of each of the characters just based on what

you're seeing. I mean, is this also a direct

mirror, it seems, of the other room? Yeah. I

really like Pazazz's style. She just looks so,

like, bitchin'. She looks very, very evil. I

love it. Now, I do have to say when IDW put out

the images for the Solicits for the series, they

put out solid Jim and the Holograms logos. So

with Issue 1, we had a pink logo that came out

that was holographic. With these issues, we have

a green, I mean it's Jim and the Holograms logo

except it's green because it's in misfits. it

is also holographic. So that was one thing that

I wasn't sure if they were going to do with every

single issue. And I don't know if they're going

to do it with issue three because... No, wait.

Yes, I do know. Because I saw it at the comic

shop. I just didn't pick it up because I had

already had it digitally and they didn't have

any sub covers at the comic shop. So I think

they are doing this holographic logo for every

issue, which is fine. It looks good. I like it.

It's fun. So... For those of you who bought the

five cover holographic foil box set, the additional

four covers that we get are individual spotlights

on the Misfits themselves. Cover B is Nicole's

favorite character, Roxy. No, Roxy, my bad. Roxy,

come on now. Sorry, I was thinking White Care.

I was thinking Marvel's Storm. X -Men yeah, yeah

my dad And you know If if Steven Tyler would

redo his song and just rename it Roxie's got

a gun. That's what this reminds me pointing a

gun at somebody Amy Meverson did the the variant

covers here for the for the Misfits just like

she did with Jim and the Holograms And I love

the classic looks I really do and no offense

to Sophie Campbell on her original art for the

series, but These classic looks are just so great.

Yeah, I like them. They did a great job on the

covers. Cover C is Stormer. Now I've got it right.

Stormer. I like this one. It's interesting. I

like how they've done similar profile shots to

each one. Yeah. Where they have the side profile

of the face. You know, honestly, it's almost

like mug shots except the full body shot on the

left isn't looking straight at you. What do we

think of the Stormer cover, Nicole? Oh, she's

adorable, as usual. She looks really cute. You

can tell she's like the innocent one. Yeah. Amy,

thoughts on the Stormer cover? I like it. Very

glamorous. And then we get to cover D. Cover

D is the lead singer. Don't mess with her. Pizzazz,

yeah, Pizzazz. And she is looking at the audience

like it is a mugshot on the left with her body

profile. And the one thing I've noticed throughout

this, Roxy has brown eyes, Stormer has blue,

Pizzazz has green. The next one we'll get to

her in a second has a different color. But what

do we think of the pizzazz cover? I Love it again

another good classic look Agreed I like the fact

that each one of the the ladies on there, you

know on their side It just kind of shows off

their personality without actually saying anything

Yeah, you know each one of them has their own

little thing that they're doing so Absolutely,

and the final Cover E for this box set is Jetta

and they finally made Jetta black. But she has

purple eyes for some odd reason. Maybe they're

contacts, who knows? Yeah, she could be that

other lady that has violet eyes. It's a very,

very rare thing. Elizabeth Taylor had one. Yeah,

Elizabeth Taylor had one. So, Jetta's just as

brilliant and just as unique. Yes, that's very

true and her hair is like cool. It's just like

yeah Kind of reminds me of like it kind of reminds

me of like 80s and 90s whoopee Goldberg hair.

Yeah Well 90s specifically now that I'm thinking

about it she played buckwheat's mother in the

little rascals That's what Jedis hair reminds

me of on the cover The special covers that are

in the box set featuring all the ladies for the

Misfits. Amy Memberson did an absolutely wonderful

job on those Just as Sophie Campbell does a great

job on the designs for the comic itself and in

the original the the regular covers So we open

it up we get Showtime part two We have a previously

page What is it with John and his previous pages?

I like it though. I like it, but it just I don't

know It just sounds it just feels a little weird

what I do love about this though is Whereas in

the Transformers universe we have roll call in

this we have the guest list and it lists all

four of the holograms Well, I think that the

previous page works out great, especially if

it's your first issue You want to get cut up

the thing is the previously page doesn't go against

the the the page count No, no I don't see a problem

with it No, no, I'm not not really complaining.

I'm just stating a fact. He's like, oh John and

his previous pages. He just loves those things

But I mean I get it because this is a this is

going to be a six -part arc for Showtime because

I actually asked Kelly Thompson on Twitter because

I couldn't remember how many parts the Showtime

story was going to have and it is a six part

arc. So we open up with the Misfits singing and

playing their instruments and all that good stuff

and what is so cool about this is how they are

conveying the song the lyrics to the song for

us to read, you know, to be able to hear what

they're singing or read what they're singing.

I love that. This is gorgeous. I was wondering

how they were going to do this because we didn't

see the first issue and they pulled it off beautifully.

No, we did see it in the first issue. It did

with Jim. Yeah. Oh, did that a couple of times,

but I wasn't sure how it was going to play out

with how the misfits look and and everything

else. But I mean, now it. These first three pages

are just amazing. It's cool. I love it. You get

that giant green eye from Pizzazz at the very

end. It's like, wow, that's scary. It's cool.

I love it. Thoughts on the first three pages

here, Amy, with the whole song thing and how

they presented it to us? I like it. I like how

they did it. I mean, it just makes it, you know,

you can definitely... i mean i don't hear what

they're saying but i just see how the music is

kind of surrounding everybody and they're totally

kicking it i mean i like it i love it it's so

cool i love the purple green and black awesome

now i will say one thing as the story progresses

as i remember when i first read this issue and

i'm like What is that? Why are they calling her

that? They've Nicknamed pizzazz Pizz and I just

just one thing that I just bugs me It just bugs

me as a line. It's just like any other nickname

So she's got a nickname for her nickname sounds

like disaster And You know, so we open this up

and they finish their set because they're on

Lindsay Pierce's video show. And we see as the

action goes forward and Lindsay is talking to

them, we see Twitter pop -ups. I love it, especially

like when they start getting some... You know,

like, oh, I can't stand these guys. This is so

overrated. Boo, next. Yeah. Hashtag boo, yeah.

Absolutely awesome. And we also get introduced

to Rio, who is a reporter or investigator or

something or other. What do we think of Rio coming

in? Starting with the misfits versus what we

usually know him as I Like it I like the fact

that we get it as a blank slate because it's

a it's a whole new world, you know, I like the

fact that he kind of I Like what they're doing

in the fact that and we see later on in the issue

where he kind of turns out to be this He's like

such a sweet guy I'm just waiting for the hate

to start. I he has totally pissed me off yet

Keyword there is yet. Yes, I give me give a chance

Give me give a chance this first issue All right,

we're okay, okay, but I have a feeling where

we're going with him I'm pleasantly surprised.

Let's just say that there shouldn't be anything

like I like how they're doing it. It's just you

know, I like the fact that that Roxy's already

or not Roxy Jetta is already a member of oh Yeah,

we're not doing the introducing a new no, it's

just it's just you know to make it four on four

it works So with Rio showing up They start talking

about, you know, they're all arguing back and

forth and, you know, Pazazz is like, why did

nobody tell me Rio was here? Because he's like

always here. And then Stormer's like, uh, guys,

guys, what? Look, and they see, they click on

the video and they see the Gem and the Holograms

video. and this is pretty badass now I said a

second ago that they did do this in the first

issue with the song thing I think it was more

of it wasn't when they were performing it was

when like Jerrica was writing the song that they

had this this kind of layout with the writing

around you know what I mean so now that i'm looking

at this and realizing oh wait yeah nicole's right

they didn't really do this in the first issue

with the singing but they did it in the way that

she was writing a song with the with the words

going around around the art and everything else

and yeah this looks so good it really does sophie

campbell has just outdone herself i'm liking

it absolutely It's very early. It's just like,

you know. Yeah. It's very bubblegum -ish. And

that too. I mean, pink, the pink kind of does

it, you know. It's a bubblegum pink. Cotton candy

pink. I just like the fact, before we go into

the, you know, further, I like the fact that,

you know, when we get Stormer saying, guys, guys,

and Pazazz her. what how her fingers are it's

like what you're irritating me you know uh just

like that she's like what absolutely um feel

her frustration in that expression that she's

doing and her fingers doing that thing it's just

like jeez i just laugh every single time is that

such a character Had to laugh at a panel coming

up because I so heard Patricia's voice For the

voice of the original voice of pizzazz. I so

heard that voice With a line that's coming up

here. So after they watch the video Stormer Roxy

and Jetta are all just kind of looking around

and pizzazz is in the center here and She just

has you know on the second panel here. She has

this really really like nail biting, teeth grinding.

That's a good way to describe it, yeah. Contorted

face thing. And in this moment, because how she

has her hair, it almost reminds me of Dr. Blight

from Captain Planet, because she always had that

white stripe down her left eye covering up her

deformed face. I just love those two little skulls.

Because you know it means yeah, I'm gonna kill

something and then Rio just laughs And says to

him something to say real yeah, you guys are

screwed Rio shot Like I can so hear Patricia

Alice Albrecht Albrecht's voice when you know

the bottom left -hand panel when she says that

I can so hear that in my head And she kicks Rio

out and Rio looks on his phone or whatever device

he's got there I assume it's his phone and you

know He finds gem of the holograms, and he's

looking for the manager Jericho Benton done done

done He doesn't even go that far, to be honest.

He just goes outside of the door and just stays

like on the outside of the door. Pazazz's expressions

in this issue are just brilliant. I just loved

every single time you saw her. I mean, she totally,

and this is very true of her as a character,

even in the show, she commanded attention. And

in here, even by the art, she still continues

to command that attention. It was just, it's

just great. Beautifully done. I agree. It's just

so awesome. And the way that Sophie Campbell

does all the backgrounds compared to the artist

drawings, like if we go to the next page where

we meet up with Shayna and Kimber at the kitchen

table, like the backgrounds in the shot, it's

like Shayna's hair is like the focus. I love

her hair. No, I'm not. You're right. I'm just

saying. Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying

that in these two panels or three or four panels

here, Shayna's hair is the giant pop of color

where everything else that's a background, like,

you know, the whole counter, the floor, the refrigerator,

like it just blends in and she just pops out

of everything. Oh, I loved her new hairstyle.

It's so cool. I love it too. It's great. I love

this whole conversation that they're having.

Oh, we've got so many followers. We've got so

many votes. It just, it's so works for nowadays.

I mean, this is like, they're using social media

on here, whereas like it didn't even exist when

the original show was. So I'm really, really

glad to see that. Yeah. And that's, you know,

that's kind of the thing about bringing Jim into

the 21st century. What would Jim be like today?

They'd so be like this because you cannot ignore

Well, most people can't ignore social media.

This is what it would have been like You know,

especially since I mean the fact that the Aja

is still sleeping because she was working on

their YouTube video It's like the wee hours of

the morning Well, actually it was because for

those that don't know Certain ones of us are

on IDW's press list and that entitles us to Log

on to their servers and get previews and and

get comics advanced Readings of comics they usually

have the giant IDW Logo on it. So it's not like

it's a free comic it is free, but it's not like

it's a Oh my god i'm getting this for free kind

of thing because you still have to read around

around the logo but i remember when um When the

third they usually come out on thursday or friday

whenever i remember that thursday amy had messaged

me and was like i have a comic for you And i'm

like what huh? Don't throw any shoes at me i'm

like wait what what are you talking about? Like

read the comic you'll find out Yeah, cuz I figured

that you'd be really tired Wait what shoes I

don't think I'd be throwing shoes at somebody

but So So Kimber goes off and It's gonna wake

Aja up And she goes in she opens the door she

knocks and she says Aja. I was just like go away

Aja wake up Go away forever. Arja, you gotta

go up and look at the video notes. Whoa, so many

people are voting for us. Hwing! Ah! Okay then,

geez. It's just like shoes at her. Yep. And the

fact that Jerrica comes walking up behind her.

Jerrica, oh my gosh! You're up! Come look at

all our boats! Yep. And they they try to Jerrica

and Shayna try to convince Kimber to try to wake

Aja up again. I said no They did make Jerrica

look a little bit older in this issue. I don't

know the last issue. She looks so young It might

be the clothing. I don't know But I think she

does look a little bit older. She still doesn't

look older than Kimber Right, but see Kimber

is is taller than than Jericho, so that's I think

that clothing actually did it for me this time

round I Think it just I don't know just something

about it just made her look a little bit older,

a little bit more mature. The fact that Kimber

is like so in her face and like being really

animated, even though she's taller, I think says

a lot about her because it just seems to me,

yeah, rightly so, she's really excited about

it, but she's not the only one that this is affecting

and not everybody else is like, oh, the same

way that she is. Now, just to compare this, I

have two older boys, one's 12, one's eight. And

the eight -year -old is very animated a lot,

like even more so. I mean, it's just different

personalities too, but he's the one that does

that. So for me, I've always put a lot of energy

and animation like that into the younger crowd.

So it reads fine to me this time around, but

to each their own. Especially since I'm like,

even the next page is she's sticking her tongue

out at Jerrica. Yeah. Jericho doesn't do that

So one issue we did not bring up last podcast

when we reviewed issue number one is We completely

skipped over the fact that in the bio for Kimber.

It says that she likes girls and You know, hey

fine if that's her choice, that's her choice,

you know more power to her But that's just another

one of the changes that the creative team here

have done it's fine i love it yeah this is this

is a whole new story like you know everybody's

like oh this isn't the gem i knew and grew up

with well of course it's not i mean there are

certain things that are going to you know we

said it in that first issue there's so many things

that reminded us of you know of the first few

episodes in that first issue but i mean you need

to allow the creative team to create their story

and that's part of the story here my only thing

is The problem that I had with with Kimber and

the cartoon is that she was man crazy And it

got me a little crazy. I will have the same issue

if she is lady crazy I understand. I mean that

I have no problem with that But if she is gonna

go out with someone new every other issue I will

have issue with that I I am wondering because

as of this recording issue number three has already

been out I've already read it. So what I'm wondering

is if they're gonna set up To do their own version

of the bands break up in some way Because of

who Kimber eventually has a crush on Would be

a whole new way to tell that story So we get

Aja and I'm sorry Shayna and Jerrica talking

back and forth and You know Jerrica is concerned

because with those kind of numbers life life's

gonna get complicated and Shayna's just like

it was always gonna get complicated, you know,

so and off panel we don't see this but we see

a bunch of shoes flying in one that actually

oh no it doesn't from for a second there i thought

it actually had a foot in it but the the the

strap shoe the pink one yeah very top i thought

and and we hear ouch you will eventually run

out of shoes azja and jerica and shana just laugh

um so we get to uh... we see mrs bailey she is

in this and we see bonnie and we see ashley on

this panel or no no it's just bonnie ashley's

on the next page yeah that's right yeah well

yeah she's at the bottom of the next page here

i like that they're incorporating them i think

that's cool the only fear i have is i do not

want bonnie's character to just be Need to find

my father. I don't I want them to take her care

like that can be part of it I'm not saying I

don't want them to do it but like give her some

sort of happy ending like, you know something

I hope they don't stay Absolutely true to the

original storyline. No. Yeah. No, but that's

what I'm saying. It's like every like Every episode

that focused on Bonnie was about her searching

for her dad. Yeah. You can do that for a couple,

you know, maybe an issue or two or no, maybe

an issue. Do that. You know, have that be somewhat

of like, say a B story focus and then have it

grow from there. Don't have her just constantly

being the short round of the group. Yeah. Hey,

it was it's an 80s reference come on Or you know,

you know pull in some of the geeky stuff from

the Goonies and she's an inventor She invents

things slick shoes, are you crazy? And we can

clearly tell as the story progresses that Ashley

is kind of introverted in this series. She's

not the loud -mouth outgoing person that we knew

from the cartoon. And she has those same green

skulls as she's a smaller version of the same

green skull that Bazz had earlier. I love it.

I love the little green skulls. Brilliant. It's

gonna be interesting to see where they take Ashley

and Bonnie as the series goes along So we finally

get up to the fact that Rio has tracked Jerrica

down and You know he basically He asks her so

why isn't it Jerrica and the holograms? They're

your sisters you play an instrument you have

a great voice Hell, you wrote the song. What

am I missing? I mean, it's none of your business.

That's private. You know, Rio, I mean, he's a

reporter in this, so I can kind of forgive his

approach to her about this, but her reaction

was just a little too harsh, I think. I think

she's having that reaction because this is like

the first time where she's gonna have to deal

with questions like this and She just came off

a little harsh because that was her first reaction

I I understand where she's coming from Yeah,

it's kind of like oh god. I can't believe I'm

gonna reference this It's kind of like Kylie

Jenner in that lip suction story that you came

out of So after she says it's none of your business

he essentially asks her on a date and They go

back and forth. I like the chemistry between

the two of them. I like the interaction back

and forth. I Think it is really really cool It's

interesting to see where it's gonna you know

where this is gonna take us These are not the,

this is not the high school sweetheart kind of

vibe that we're getting from the original show.

This is the, this is their first meet, the first

to everything, you know, first impressions, first,

first, first, first. So I kind of like it because

it's like, he's like really into her and she's

really kind of like, um, tonight, uh, okay. she's

not used to the attention it seems and that's

that's cool i mean i like how the little shift

in things like that so hopefully it all works

out and you know pizazz doesn't get in the middle

of it all yeah i somehow i don't think because

i don't know but because obviously we're only

two and a half to three issues in but i don't

think this is going to be something that pizazz

is gonna like try to i don't think she's going

to try to steal rio Think that's going to be

What's -her -name's job if she ever gets introduced?

Minx I Know So we go to this book signing where

the miss fitzers or they're not put on the sorry

not book signing Yeah, yeah CD signing um where

the misfits are supposed to be but they essentially

just left stormer there to do it because they

don't care and that's a very stormer thing to

do yeah make sure everyone's happy yeah um so

this is where kimber and stormer meet and they

kind of have their own chemistry and uh This

is kind of where the book ends because they're

sitting there having coffee in the in in the

store and whatever and Jet is the first one well

All three of them see it, but jet is the first

one that actually says Says something about it

Well Roxy is too and It just, it ends with, come

on ladies, time to confront a traitor. Oh my

gosh, I love the look of the zazzes. The shading

that they've used on this because it's extra

dark around her eyes. It's just so cool. They

did such a good job with the art in here. Amazing.

Absolutely. That bottom panel is just so great.

And then the rest of the issue, we have the misfit

bios, which we'll get into in a moment, but we

have to talk about Captain Continuity when he

was 10 years old. So last issue, in issue number

one, there was a letter from Kelly Thompson,

the writer. In this issue, there's a letter from

John Barber, senior editor, IDW Publishing. And

he goes on to talk about how he's always wanted

a gem comic and this, that, and the other thing

and anything else. So it's kind of nice that

he went ahead and did that. Before I get into

the bios, what did you guys think of the issue

overall? I think it's fantastic. I want more.

I want to see where they're going with it. It's

a continuation rate from the first one into the

second. Want more of it. Give me more. I want

to see where they're going I'm liking I like

the the little changes. I like how they're I'd

like the characterization. I like I just like

everything I I want more of it. So Nicole of

course, I'm loving it, you know, I love how how

they showed off the music the big splash pages

with with that beginning it just with both bands

just totally gets you into the spirit of the

comic. I like the introductions to the Misfits.

You kind of see what their personalities like.

You get a little bit more into Kimber. You see

that she's really giddy and especially with Stormer.

I think that's just so cute how she's just Filled

in love with her. I just thought that was adorable

and pizzazzed off her reactions the green skulls

Love the green skulls So yeah, absolutely for

me I Really dig it. I think it's really cool

Like Amy and Nicole already said the story pretty

much, you know continues from before The art

is wonderful. The writing is great And I understand

that there are die -hard gym fans and I understand

that people want the new gym properties the comic

and the movie to be what the show was and Sadly,

we live in an age where that's not going to happen

The comic can stay a little bit more truer or

a little bit more To the point of the show if

it wants to but it also has to grow and tell

its own story And I think they've done that so

well so far at the same time also pulling in

Some really good references and really good things

that we remember from the show Yeah, it's very

well put together I I don't see why anyone would

have a problem with the new version. It's 30

years. Things are going to change. I've changed

in 30 years. I forbid. It's a different world,

too. I mean, we live like social media. The fact

that they're bringing social media into this.

I mean, you could say, well, technically, they

didn't have that in the original. So if you're

going to make a nitpick about the stuff that

you don't like, better nitpick about the stuff

that actually does seem relevant, too, because,

you know. So what are we going to rate issue

number two and then we'll talk about the bios

and what we have to do? I'm going to give it

a solid four. No, five. There you go. I was going

to say five for me because I love everything

about it. And I'm glad they've introduced the

Starlight Girls. And it's a five because Rio

did not annoy me. And you what? That's a good

change. So it's worth it. Just on the skulls

alone, it should be fine. Exactly. Yeah, it's

a five for me as well. Everything is fine. All

cylinders are firing with this creative team.

They take such care. I... Okay, I'll say this

now, and I know I'm going to get blasted from

the two of you for saying this. Ever since Dark

I wonder if Kelly listened to one of our first

perform at the starlight foundation's annual

fundraiser but the misfits plan to bring them

down issue number two absolutely awesome just

a lot of fun really yeah a lot of fun just cannot

wait cannot wait for more so yeah and at the

very very back I'm gonna run through this really

E, which we already talked about. There was a

subscription cover that was done by Sarah Richard,

which had Jim and Pizzaz. Back to back. Back

to back, yeah. That's what I was just reading

right now. There are two different exclusive

plugged -in versions of the main cover one is

a black and white that says it's It says it's

an exclusive the other the plugged -in edition.

I still don't know I've never held one of those

So I think alls it is is is that the logo is

black instead of the green But I I could not

tell you if that's true or not folks Think we're

gonna get out of here We will be back with issue
