Sure you don't want to make a demon bear, Synergy?

Good timing, Shana.
Very low drama.

Show's over, Synergy!

But there we go with drama, rivalry, trauma, and romance. And in the end everybody cries!

So until next time, stay outrageous!

So was the old art like half the reason why the book was so endearing because it seems like it

When I first saw that bear-attack at the end of the last issue, I first thought it was the dumbest thing ever.

But then I immediately did a double-think about what exactly the name of the comic I was reading was, and I decided it was the Jemest thing ever instead.

Exactly!

It was, in a word, outrageous!

I still like it, the writing is still Jem-tastic and I don't think this art is BAD by any means, but it doesn't have Sophie's kinetic punch.

I mean, just look at this angry Pizzazz in comparison to:
>>85911412
>>85911423

Okay, wow, so generation two Pizzazz thinks The Stingers are a bunch of poseurs.

Man, this comic is turning almost every character dynamic in generation one Jem on its head! 1 2 gen

Well Jen Bartel is off the comic now anyway.

From next issue forward the artist will be Meredith Mclaren.

I do miss the original gen 1 status quo though.

Or to be more specific, I bemoan the fact that this comic will not expand and explore the origininal generation 1 character relationships and bring them to their conclusions.

I wish there was a parrallel comic doing classic Jem stories.

(Has anyone else here developed an irrational hatred towards street signs and storefronts?)

Yeah, your joints would explode, you fat fuck,

I love this comic, but I would be SO VERY DOWN for a comic conclusion to the original cartoon.

So long as Kimber and Stormer still kiss, of course.

>>85911398
I was wondering when they were going to pull the trigger on this...

>>85911135
I like Jen Bartel's character art but her pages always look and feel so empty.

>>85911278
Way to rip off Jolyne and Speedwagon from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, this comic is trash!

>>85913698
I think part of it, too, is that her characters all look like mannequins.

>>85913706
How is it ripping that off?

>>85913253
A thought occurs... Instead of Pizzazz being hopelessly lovestruck at first sight with Riot, what if Kelly is developing a more tsundere approach to their relationship?

>>85913698
>>85913736
Yeah, she's far better on covers than interiors...

Just googled her work

While she's no Sophie, her art does convey a great sense of movement and emotion. She also seems quite capable of drawing multiple body type which Jen was clearly struggling with here

Agree.

>>85913896
Honestly psyched for this.
This needs more stylization and more ENERGY.

>>85913901
Jen Bartel and Paulina Ganuchau: the shiniest, glitteriest, girliest combination of art that could possibly exist.

I mean that in the best way, of course

>>85913698
And the eyes of her characters so vacant, soulless and dead.
