Ryan Smith is located just south of Boston and is a lifelong fan of movies, comics, music and all things pop culture... and pro wrestling, but don't hold that against him.

The Powerpuff Girls is one of the most memorable cartoons Cartoon Network has ever produced, with 6 original seasons that aired from 1998 to 2005, and a reboot series that aired for 3 more seasons from 2016 to 2019. 119 episodes later, the trio of unforgettable superhero sisters has cemented its spot among some of the best superhero teams of all time.

This September, there will be all-new stories for fans of The Powerpuff Girls to enjoy thanks to Dynamite Entertainment. For all the Cartoon Network faithful who are looking for new stories fresh out of Townsville, look no further. The Powerpuff Girls are delivering them to you very soon.

If there's one thing Cartoon Network fans want more of, it's the classics — in this case, The Powerpuff Girls. Thankfully, for fans of all things sugar, spice and everything nice — as well as a hint of Chemical X — Dynamite Entertainment is providing a perfect sequel to the original show, and a continuation of its great Powerpuff Girls comic series.

In Volume 3, New Year, New You, the sisters Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup set New Year's resolutions in an attempt to better themselves — if that's even possible for some of the most popular superhero characters in history. Readers can also expect to see The Powerpuff Girls help Townsville out on a street level, aiding with the town's animal shelter during a pet-adoption fair. But all is not well for The Powerpuff Girls, as they will, of course, need to deal with a substantial number of supervillains as summer rolls in. The Powerpuff Girls Volume 3: New Year, New You packs plenty into its 128 pages, perfectly living up to the original cartoon thanks in no small part to writer Amanda Deibert and artists Silvia De Ventura and Paulina Ganucheua.

It's a great timeline to live in, where The Powerpuff Girls continue to get the recognition they so richly deserve. Ever since being introduced to the masses in an extremely memorable short featured on the showcase program What A Cartoon!, the superpowered sisters have remained a staple of 90s kids' lives. Where most of the animated superhero programming of the time was focused on well-established characters like Batman, X-Men, or Spider-Man, Cartoon Network offered something truly original.

Dynamite Entertainment is doing the comic book world a service, offering brand-new Powerpuff Girls stories for fans of one of Cartoon Network's most popular cartoons. The Powerpuff Girls Volume 3: New Year, New You drops on September 2 from Dynamite Entertainment for those who want more unique, comical, and endlessly entertaining superhero stories in their lives.
