JemIDW Publishing will adapt the Jem And The Holograms cartoon into a new comic series.

The creative team behind this project includes writer Kelly Thompson, illustrator Ross Campbell, and artist Sara Richard. The premiere issue will be released in March 2015. Five rainbow foil covers have been created for this first book.

Here’s more from the press release: “It’s the 21st century, and Jem and The Holograms are 21st century girls! Meet Jerrica Benton, the gifted singer of The Holograms, a band that has the right look and the right sound…But one thing is holding them back—Jerrica’s crippling stage fright. Luckily, Jerrica is about to find help in the most unlikely of places when she discovers a forgotten present left by her father. And what she finds is truly outrageous!”
