Summer is right around the corner and The Powerpuff Girls are ready to celebrate, but their plans are dashed by the unexpected presence of nearly all their foes, in the upcoming Supervillain Summer Spectacular this July!
This sunny seasonal special from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products comes courtesy of the creatively scorching team of writer James III and artist Carlo Lauro. James III, known for Astronomy Club: The Sketch Show, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, and Good Burger 2, brings his signature humor and energy to Townsville.

“I’m a day one Powerpuff Girls fan! I remember watching the first What a Cartoon! short and re-enacting it with my friends on the playground the next day,” said writer James III. “Writing this was a dream and to say I’m honored would be a tremendous understatement. PPG is one of the funniest, most action-packed superhero properties out there. I had the time of my life!”
“Carlo is such a versatile artist with an uncanny ability to capture the essence of many timeless, beloved characters and their multitude of expressions. He and Nate have contributed so much to the PPG comic book legacy, I knew I was in good hands working with them on this issue.”
As the citizens of Townsville soak in summer sunshine, their favorite amusement park is suddenly overtaken — not by tourists, but by a wave of villains! From Mojo Jojo to Him and beyond, every nemesis in the book shows up… and it turns out the Mayor is the one who invited them!
With Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup ready for fun and instead finding chaos, they’ll have to dig into the Mayor’s questionable decisions, uncover the real story behind this all-villains-welcome bash, and stop Townsville from becoming the ultimate lawbreaker’s playground.
Will the girls save summer before it melts down completely? Or will the bad guys finally get a vacation win?
This oversized special issue features three collectible cardstock covers by Lauro, Silvia De Ventura, and George Kambadais.
THE POWERPUFF GIRLS: SUPERVILLAIN SUMMER SPECTACULAR #1 lands in comic shops July 2025 — just in time to heat things up.
