The Powerpuff Girls #1

A new Powerpuff Girls comic begins here. When Ms. Keane introduces the class to the Highly Intelligent Machine, all the young students take tests to discover their true destinies. This leads to each of the girls to temporarily abandon super-heroics to try out new lives. Blossom becomes a noir-style private eye. Bubbles, in a bunny suit, spends time with animals. And Buttercup becomes a wrestler. While all three enjoy exploring a different destiny, each discovers that something is missing.

The twist of the comic is the destiny machine was a creation of HIM who has taken advantage of the girls' absence to spread chaos over Townsville. Realizing this, and that their true destiny is to work together to save the day (long after the original cartoon was cancelled), the girls spring into action. Fun stuff all around with a story capturing the feel of the original cartoon and some great artwork as well
