Reviews Webcomic / Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi

Was fun at first but then loses it's luster

I, like many, fell in love with this series way back in 2004. Mostly due to the CN City bumpers that were running at the time that featured the characters interacting with each others. So it was a treat to get a series that did likewise. But as the years went on and times changed I see now how really shallow this series is. It runs on nothing but good artwork and pop culture references. The story just caters to being dark as possible and how many shock moments it can get away with with recognizable characters that'll never likely happen to in their own series and is so slowly paced as well. As of this review were still not really into the meat of the conflict with the villains nor have any of the majority of the heroes promised in the story have done much of anything. Again the only real saving grave is the artwork and that's barely helped by the panel structure which can be confusing at points to read not to mention some Wall of Text that crop up sometime. I'm not saying Vinson isn't a good artist, far from it and it still is cool to see his renditions of TV characters. And, yes, I know he's not the one telling the story merely drawing it with someone else writing. I'll commend Bleed for sticking with his passion to continue to do such a crossover when he could've quit long ago. But by this point, this series is far from the masterpiece we praised it as all those years ago and simply coasting on what some poor incoming fans that may think it's still "cool". To each his own I say, but I've long since taken off the nostalgia goggles and moved on. I still check on the series now and then, but just for curiosity sake and nothing more. Maybe it'll get interesting again, who knows, but for now I can't help but agree that it really is just an overblown fanfic that's been given way too much credit then it deserves.
