With most of the Hasbro toy lines from the 80s making a comeback in one way or another, it was long beyond the time for their "other" girls product, Jem! There was a frustratingly unappealing live-action movie that even old school fans disliked, but prior to that IDW released a very open-minded comic geared towards original fans, plus modern day comic readers, especially otaku.Jerrica Benton is a shy young woman hoping to for her band with her sisters(two of which are adopted)to make it big. They discover that their father secretly invented an AI program named Synergy that can create realistic holograms, which Jerrica uses to get over her stage fright by creating the secret identity of "Jem"(who is oddly supposed to be nearly an entire foot taller than Jerrica!), and calling their band The Holograms. They try entering a battle of the bands to get a record contract, which has them crosses paths with their soon to be rivals, The Misfits. Things get a little steamy when Jerrica's sister Kimber starts dating the Misfits' Stormer, plus a lot having to keep Synergy's existence a secret. This becomes even more hectic for Jerrica as she carries on a relationship with Rio, a rock magazine reporter, who in this version of the story isn't all that in love with her Jem persona. The Misfits' lead singer Pizazz has an auto accident, leaving her voice damaged, so her band needs to get a replacement singer for their joint tour with The Holograms, namely their friend Clash's transgender cousin, Blaze. But Synergy gets a glitch around this time, which forms a split personality called Silica that separates herself from Synergy, and uses her hypnotic powers similar to Sharon Apple in Macross Plus. It's up to a team effort of both The Holograms and Misfits to save the world.
