POWERPUFF GIRLS VOL. 3: NEW YEAR NEW YOU

The Powerpuff Girls are the best super-powered defenders a city could ever dream of — but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any room for improvement! What better way is there to try and do better than to come up with some really solid New Year’s resolutions? Then, the Powerpuff Girls know that doing good deeds means more than just battling armored megalomaniacs in the streets — there’s also real challenges, like helping out at the Townsville Animal Shelter during their pet adoption fair! Plus, it’s time for Townsville’s Battle of the Bands, and everyone who’s anyone is signing up to be a star for a day! Finally, Summer is here, and all the citizens of Townsville are heading out into the sunshine and fresh air to enjoy the happiest and most carefree season of the year — including the city’s surprisingly substantial population of supervillains! Contains issues 7 - 9 of Dynamite's Powerpuff Girls series, plus the Powerpuff Girls Summer special!
