Our tiny heroines do some time traveling in The Powerpuff Girls: The Time Tie. First, Mojo Jojo uses his Time Tie to send Blossom back to the Wild West. She finds a train headed for Townsville, which – of course – gets robbed by Kitty the Kid. In addition to money and autographed photos, Kitty makes off with a Chronogem, which is exactly what Blossom needs to find her way home!
This was a very cute opener to the three-issue series by Haley Mancini and Jake Goldman. It’s entertaining, cheeky, and energetic – all the elements needed for a good Powerpuff Girls story. Philip Murphy’s art is on par with the cartoon with great color choices, character execution, and general tone of the series.
