The City of Townville, where the Powerpuff Girls lay their sleepy little heads. Even more so now that Mojo Jojo’s turned down his evil ways. But wait, what’s this?! Now that Mojo is all better and staying at the the Powerpuff Girls’ household, HIM has got his tutu all in a twist?! What ever will he do!? I hope he’s not going to… OH NO! Just as I suspected! HIM has put mind control on all of Townsville’s bad guys! And they’re going straight to the Girls’ house… to…. HELP THEM OUT!!! Ummm.. Did I just really say help? Well, that didn’t turn out as bad as I expected..

Right where we left him, Mojo Jojo has turned himself in to take the ‘ANTIDOTE X’ to cure him against his villainous ways. As he was originally Professor Utonium’s lab experiment gone wrong, the cured baby monkey comes home with the Powerpuff Girls. All-seeing HIM captures a glimpse of everything happening and becomes irritated to see that Mojo Jojo – now named Jojo – has got a second chance. Obviously sending HIM’s heels to break he turns on his creepy, glowing eyes to mind control Townsville’s baddies, sending them to the Powerpuff household. Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles and Proffessor Utonium all look out the front door as all the villains are outside… helping them do their chores. A quick flash towards HIM in the final panel to show that everything isn’t as it seems.

Just as good as the first issue of the series, the second issue is just as sweet. What was really great about #2 was as if it was a villains based issue. Last issue was perfectly balanced with Powepuff goodness but there were only a few panels with them in it and not particularly doing anything. This comic was solely based around Mojo at the beginning and HIM controlling other villains nearer to the end. It was a nice way of balancing this book out and worked. It still remains to be uncanny to the television show, seeing a few of the minor villains like Sedusa and the Ganggreen Gang makes it more so that bit more nostalgic. Troy Little continues with consistency in both writing and artwork, he could quite literally do anything and go anywhere with the ending in this issue, leaving it on a cliff-hanger and wide open for issue #3.

Powerpuff Girls #2 has proven to be just as strong as the first issue. It’s fun, nostalgic and shows the Powerpuff Girls at their best. Leaving all ties open for issue #3, anything could happen from here on and I’m sure most fans of this series will be sad to see it only run for 5 issues.

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!
