review:
IDW has been doing a great job recreating cartoon favorites and 'Powerpuff Girls Vol. 1' might be their best so far. My review copy only had the first 3 issues, but the full graphic novel has all 5 first issues of the comic. Some familiarity with the show is probably in order because the story features villains acting different than they do on the show.
Mojo Jojo has decided to call it quits when he is defeated one too many times. He wants Professor Utonium to dose him with Chemical X, the same thing that created the Powerpuff Girls, but he ends up a sad little monkey named Jojo (lacking now his Mojo). Meanwhile, all the villains are acting...nice! This has Buttercup very suspicious, but when the villains team up to defeat a creature from the sea, the Powerpuff Girls start to think it's a permanent change. But is it really?
The tone is spot on, the art is perfect and if you know the series, you'll probably be hearing the voices in your head. Some familiarity with the show will be useful, especially with how the villains on the show normally act. That will make their nice personas make more sense. It's a lot of fun and a great comic for readers familiar with the show and a whole new audience of younger readers.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun graphic novel.
