The comics industry constantly pulls from other parts of the entertainment industry all the time. Using the two examples listed, Jem's team was Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell, Thompson didn't have prior experience writing comics, but had already written two novels, while Campbell has been working in comics since 2003 primarily in indies and non-Big 2 work. USG's team was Ryan North and Erica Henderson, North's primary claim to fame was in webcomics, but he was also a published prose author and had written two other comics before taking the SG gig, Henderson has been doing comics since 2012, primarily small-press and fill-in work.
