ThunderCats The Powerpuff Girls #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThunderCats/The Powerpuff Girls #4 is the concluding chapter of the first-ever comic book crossover between two of animation's most enduring franchises—one rooted in 1980s action-adventure and the other in 1990s Cartoon Network comedy—making it historically noteworthy as the capstone of a genuinely unprecedented meeting of animated worlds. The four-issue miniseries, of which this is the finale, proved that Dynamite Entertainment could leverage its dual stewardship of both licenses to tell a story neither property could tell alone, with the Powerpuff Girls stripped of their Chemical X-powered abilities and forced to rely on Thunderan weaponry alongside Lion-O's crew. As the issue that resolves the central conflict—the revelation and defeat of a villain capable of crystalizing entire populations of Third Earth—it carries the narrative weight of the whole series. Its production and release also reflects a broader mid-2020s trend of inter-property nostalgia crossovers at Dynamite, placing it in dialogue with the publisher's concurrent ThunderCats universe expansion.

The crossover was first publicly announced in November 2024, with the creative team of writer Paulina Ganucheau and artist/colorist Coleman Engle attached from the start. Ganucheau was already the series writer for Dynamite's ongoing Powerpuff Girls title, giving her an organic authorial connection to both franchises. A Free Comic Book Day zero issue, lettered by Jeff Eckleberry, debuted on May 3, 2025, as a preview and demand-generator before the four-issue miniseries launched in shops on July 23, 2025; issue #4, the finale, arrived on October 8, 2025. The series was designed as visually distinct from Dynamite's darker main ThunderCats ongoing, with the character designs for both teams leaning toward their classic cartoon appearances to produce a more tonally unified all-ages aesthetic.
