Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi!!!


I was just reading random blogs off Comic Weblog Updates, which lists pretty much every good weblog about comics, in the order by which they were last updated, when I came across this post on the appropriately-named The Comic Blog. It's a review of Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi- a webcomic about, you guessed it, the Powerpuff Girls!

And not just the Powerpuff Girls, either. Lots of characters from other Cartoon Network and even Nickelodeon shows pop up too- like Dexter, Samurai Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog and even Jenny XJ9 from My Life As A Teenage Robot. The idea of having all these characters live in the same universe is just outrageously geeky. And yet so cool! I love all these cartoons and it looks like Bleedman, the writer/artist of this Doujinshi (oh by the way a Doujinshi is the Japanese word for fan comic. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!) really loves these cartoons too.

The review on the Comic Blog sums up the series so far really well so I won't reiterate, repeat and restate the plot (lil Mojo Jojo injoke for all you PPG fans out there).

Suffice to say this is pure gold. The drawings are brilliant, the characterizations are all spot-on, the plot is totally off the wall in a BIG-FIGHT-MANGA kinda way... basically it's just completely awesome.

Go read it. Now!

PS: The homepage displays the latest comic- new readers should head to the archives (on the sidebar on the left) and start right from the beginning.
