If you're looking for original stuff from Bleedman check out Sugar Bits. And the controversial part? that would be the large amount of Lolicon and the strong brother-sister incest subtheme

Good review (and I like it too), but what's with the (until 12-23-2009) disclaimer?
About the disclaimer: I said "I Quite Like It", but only up to the point I'd read through.
If, for some reason, something were to happen in the story that made me hate it, then this would become a review of only part of the comic.

Me? I fangasmed when I saw Megas and Coop. I'm not so sure about the Dead Little Sisters all over the place,or how canonical they are,but it feels right.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

You sly bastard. Nice.
Heh... thank you kindly, sir. ;)
By the way PPGD has now officially inspired me to create something.

I Quite Like It (up until 12-23-2009)
So, Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, by Bleedman. I hadn't heard about this comic until I discovered it here, and the art style and plot description piqued my interest enough to check it out. It's apparently a very controversial comic from an equally convroversial fan artist, but in my own personal and humble opinion, I can't imagine why that would be. The art is top-notch, and the writing, though it hiccups here and there and occasionally suffers from Purple Prose (the villains are really long-winded, for instance), is pretty jazzy.
I'm not a big fan of Fan Works in general. I think that some of these people are very talented and should really be working on their own stuff instead of devoting so much time and effort into creating something they really can't benefit from, as good as some of their work can be. But in this instance, I'm really in awe. For a lot of us, Tropers in particular, the fiction we grew up with (and in some cases, the fiction we continue to live with) has become a nearly spiritual business in our minds, the figures that roamed the zeitgeist when we were kids having achieved nearly mythic proportions in our adulthood.
For this reason (and I'm about to make a huge leap here, so please hold your fire), Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi is good for the same reason that Neil Gaiman's American Gods is good. It takes a big pantheon of figures we regard almost reverentially and fits them all within the confines of a single over-arching story, where everything we "know" about them is true, and yet we get to watch them move around in a caricature of the world we recognize. In a world of childhood-worshiping geekdom where fandom is damn near a religion, this stuff is practically Holy Writ.
I may be using exaggerated language to describe a webcomic (Well, not may; I most certainly am), but I really think this Bleedman fellow is "on to something" here. To me, his work really seems to have captured what my generation's little niche of the zeitgeist feels like, what it's all about, like a thunderstrike caught on photograph. He still hasn't hit every peg of my inner child's world, but I'd say he's well on his way, and if you ever stayed up past your bedtime to catch Cartoon Cartoon Fridays twice over before going to sleep, my money says you'll dig this, too.
