The Powerpuff Girls' Summer Celebration Crashed by Villains!
|
April 24, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Summer is right around the corner and The Powerpuff Girls are ready to celebrate, but their plans are dashed by the unexpected presence of nearly all their foes, in the upcoming Supervillain Summer Spectacular!
This seasonal special release from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products is led by the sunburned creative team of writer James III and artist Carlo Lauro. James the Third is a writer, producer, actor, and podcaster known for projects like Astronomy Club: The Sketch Show, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, Good Burger 2.
"I’m a day one Powerpuff Girls fan! I remember watching the first What a Cartoon! short and re-enacting it with my friends on the playground the next day," said writer James III. "Writing this was a dream and to say I’m honored would be a tremendous understatement. PPG is one of the funniest, most action-packed superhero properties out there. I had the time of my life!"
"Carlo is such a versatile artist with an uncanny ability to capture the essence of many timeless, beloved characters and their multitude of expressions. He and Nate have contributed so much to the PPG comic book legacy, I knew I was in good hands working with them on this issue.”
The citizens of Townsville are putting on their summer clothes, basking in the warm sun, and enjoying the happiest and most carefree season of the year. But it turns out this includes the city's substantial population of supervillains!
Their counterparts, the city's resident heroes The Powerpuff Girls are ready to hit the Townsville Amusement Park. To their great shock, they're met with all the rides clogged by lawbreakers and malefactors, extending all the lines around the corners and having a blast. It turns out the Mayor himself is responsible for extending all these invites!
It's up to The Powerpuff Girls to figure out what's going on, when their initial alarms and objections fall on deaf ears. Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup will figure out the real reasons for the Mayor's impeachable behavior, and right what is wrong — or will they?
This special oversized issue features a choice of three main cardstock variant covers by Lauro, Silvia De Ventura, and George Kambadais.
THE POWERPUFF GIRLS: SUPERVILLAIN SUMMER SPECTACULAR is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ May 2025 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in July 2025. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers.
