Jem and the Holograms is an ongoing comic series begun by IDW Publishing in March of 2015 based on the 1980s cartoon that was simply titled Jem, which in turn was based on a line of dolls produced by Hasbro. The series follows the rise to fame and personal lives of Jerrica Benton and her three sisters who, when Jerrica assumes her singer alter ego, become the band the series derives its name from.
Issue #26 is the last in the series but the story continues in Jem and the Holograms: Infinite, part of the "Jem: Infinite" crossover with its spin off series Jem: The Misfits.
