SDCC 2024: Dynamite's Powerpuff Girls Comics Next Ongoing Writer Revealed

Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products are excited to announce more sugar and spice coming this October for The Powerpuff Girls fans, announced today just in time for San Diego Comic-Con.

In addition to an upcoming special, the ongoing series of The Powerpuff Girls jumps into its second phase with a brand new writer. Multiple Eisner Award-nominated scribe Kelly Thompson tackled the first trio of tantalizing tales for the series. She was joined by artists Paulina Ganucheau, Karen S. Darboe, and Miriana Puglia on each issue, respectively. Now for issue #4, Thompson hands off the baton to her own Powerpuff Girls collaborator, as Paulina Ganucheau takes on writing the next three issues.

"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!"

For this issue, Ganucheau focuses on writing and is paired with artist Silvia De Ventura for the next three chapters. This marks the first transition establishing the series as switching off to a different, fresh female writer after every three issues. Fans can stay tuned each quarter when the next big name will bring their scripts to the series for their take on the beloved trio of pint-sized superheroines.

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.

Ganucheau contributes a cover herself, continuing her run of them on the series to date. She's joined by the returning Nicoletta Baldari, and newcomers Kenya Danino and Pasquale Qualano.

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS #4 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2024 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in October 2024. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!
