BOOM! Studios and Hasbro have announced that the publishing rights to Jem and the Holograms as been licensed to BOOM!. It’s a truly outrageous announcement as the series, as well as other Hasbro properties were under IDW and have recently split between Dark Horse (with Magic the Gathering) and Skybound (with Transformers and G.I. JOE). Hasbro has dusted off Jem in recent months with the character hitting the stage with Cold Slither during San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Cold Slither is the band from G.I. JOE brought to life. Jem won’t be part of Skybound’s Energon Universe… There goes our dream of Kimber vs. Pythona vs. Elita-1.

Fans can look forward to all-new stories with Jem and all her friends coming from BOOM! in 2026, along with a BOOM! Direct Reserve Campaign collecting the historic run of Jem and the Holograms comics launching on Kickstarter this November.

The news arrives during the brand’s milestone 40th anniversary, following the debut of new dolls from The Loyal Subjects, marking an exciting new era for the iconic franchise.
