The IDW comics introduced an original character named Blaze. She's a fan of the Misfits, according to her profile.

I wonder if we'll see the Stingers or planned characters like Graphix, the Mongrels, and Entropy.

Sorry for the necro-bump, but the movie comes out in about a month, which means I can read the junior novelization now and not have to actually watch it XD

[up][up]On the same website I found a great article about all the Actual Federal Crimes committed by the Misfits.

Whether it was meant to simply cause structural damage or take out a few Starlight Girls and a Hologram or two, you have to admit that Eric is certainly Satan incarnate.

And he recently showed up in the comic oh geeze. More attempted murder incoming?

That article was a good read. So has anyone actually seen this reboot?

Even on a tiny $5 million production budget, Jem still managed to flop. Its $1.38 million opening weekend was the worst opening ever for a film playing in at least 2,400 theaters.

And that's why they should've listened when the director wanted to make a faithful adaptation XD

Christ. Fantastic Four did better than that and it had twenty-five times the budget.

Yeah, It just proves that when it comes to making remakes of ANY 80's FRANCHISE It's best to keep the original canon, not your own "original, better" version.

It was to be expected. I screamed bloody murder when I saw the trailer.

[up][up] The director wanted to make a faithful adaptation but no one would buy it, and they bought what we got instead.

Oh hey this had a thread.

After watched the whole thing on Netflix, I've concluded that this show was pretty ballsy for something of its ilk. Unfortunately, it's been so long since then that I'm having trouble explaining how.

The bad news: the comic series is ending with issue 26, and the Misfits' series is ending at issue 5. http://www.cbr.com/idw-publishing-jem-and-the-holograms-ending-in-april-will-return/

The good news: Some sort of big summer encore event is planned.
