Dynamite Entertainment announced writer/artist Paulina Ganucheau takes on the writing duties for The Powerpuff Girls for issues #4-6.
“It would be an understatement to say how beyond honored I am to be taking up the helm on one of the greatest properties ever and to follow in the comics footsteps of the great Kelly Thompson,” said writer Paulina Ganucheau. “I am so excited, and as a lifelong fan I will be putting my best foot forward with these three issues. Now, if only I could go back in time and tell my 10-year-old self that she’d one day be writing The Powerpuff Girls comics, she would shoot through the roof!”
Joining Ganucheau is Silvia De Ventura. According to Dynamite Entertainment, the plan is to switch out the writer every three issues.
On the story side, The Powerpuff Girls #4 brings the fabled sugar, spice (and Chemical X!) to the forefront for a charity bake sale competition hosted by Ms. Bellum and the Mayor. Beating up monsters and foiling bank heists is plenty of fun, but Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup may have never faced a challenge quite like baking! Even though this tale features an unexpected challenge, that doesn’t mean it’s without a villain, as the girls will be facing off with Princess Morbucks in the bake sale showdown.
The Powerpuff Girls #4 arrives in October 2024.
