Sophie Campbell is one of the best artists on the planet. Yeah, I said it. From her creator-owned titles like the now-classic Wet Moon, to her work on established properties like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jem and the Holograms, Campbell is basically the patron saint of the misfits and weirdos (and teenage mutant turtles), and the third volume of her Wet Moon series arrives on ComiXology this month!

I'm not gonna miss Sophie Campbell's artwork at all! I'M FINE!
IDW's comic adaptation of Jem and the Holograms has been one of the most refreshing reads I've come across in a long time. Writer Kelly Thompson is the queen of making already-existing properties and characters feel like they're brand-spanking new.

Sadly, Campbell's time with the Holograms is at an end

As I'm sure you all have noticed, we here at The Mary Sue have been loving the Jem and the Holograms comic from IDW. Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell have created an awesome re-imagining of an 80s classic that is both true to the spirit of the original while also adding new elements in wonderful ways. Recently Campbell did an interview with The Advocate about her work on Jem, as well as about how coming out as a trans woman back in March has affected her work in comics.
