The City of Townsville… IS ON FIRE!?! Say, what’s going on here? Oh no, it’s Mojo Jojo! Say it ain’t so-so! That damn primate has got his cape all in a twist once again! But! Its nothing that our precious Powerpuff Girls cant handle – locking that evil monkey back in his cage! How do you like that, Mr. Smartie-Pants? But wait.. what’s this? Mojo Jojo signing up for ANTIDOTE X!? The anti-serum to his current mutation?! Uh oh.. What ever will he do next!?
From battling a Mojo Jojo exoskeleton to ending the life of a giant swamp monster there’s still time for The Powerpuff Girls to enjoy a nice ice cream and play a quick round of golf. Mojo is being a naughty monkey again, but it seems the girls are just going through the motions with him and send him packing straight to prison without even breaking a sweat. Mojo’s embarrassing defeat delivers a rude awakening as he questions his future as an evil super-villain! And with that, the girls were off… faster than you could say “Professor Utonium.” The next day, the girls are awarded ‘Lifetime Memberships to the Townsville Golf and Country Club’ which coincidently leads them to their next foe! The golf course is certainly somewhere that were used to seeing The Powerpuff Girls, but here they are quite literally swamped by a huge park monster and undoubtedly defeat it with ease. Our favourite little girls from the 90s are back, but this time on print.
Writer/artist Troy Little has done an incredible job in capturing every minor detail that once was the Powerpuff Girls. The narrator, the characters, everything that we all loved has been demonstrated perfectly. The dialogue is wonderful and you really cannot help hear the characters voices when reading. Even bubbles has a ‘hardcore moment’! The artwork was as if each panel was a HD still taken from a brand new episode. Troy Little has really proven that he is more than capable to control the wrath of Townsville’s sweethearts by making this comic book come to life.
This comic book was uncanny to the television series. It is wonderful seeing IDW publish some of the 90′s favourite heroines in print and not butcher them along the way. If you were a cartoon network kid growing up, this really is the mini-series for you.
One again, the day is saved! Thanks to THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!
