Dynamite Entertainment announced it has acquired the license for The Powerpuff Girls from Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and will release a comic book series by Kelly Thompson and Paulina Ganucheau.
Professor Utonium added a little extra to that famous recipe, when some Chemical X was thrown into the concoction. And lo, The Powerpuff Girls were born! Since that day, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting evil in all its forms. Their awesome powers and teamwork tirelessly defend their idyllic city from the likes of petty criminals, marauding monsters, and diabolical super-villains alike.
“I have to say, I am a very big fan of The Powerpuff Girls,” said writer Kelly Thompson. “So much so that when I was young — just out of art school — I even wrote a few short stories and began to storyboard them in hopes I could get a job on the show! So this just feels… exactly right. I was over the moon to get the offer.”
Artist Paulina Ganucheau added, “I grew up obsessed with them. Had my own PPG OC and everything. I was on a Powerpuff Girls oekaki board way back in the day where all we did was draw in that style. I remember calling into Cartoon Network for PPG merch giveaways even. So yeah, safe to say: very exciting!”
The Powerpuff Girls #1 is scheduled to arrive in July 2024.
