Rating: 3 1/2 stars

Review:

Any kid (or adult) who is a fan of any of these shows: Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory and Ed, Edd and Eddy will enjoy reading this. In this story all the heroes (and Ed, Edd and Eddy) were captured by the League of Extraordinary Villains (Vilgax, Aku, Mojo Jojo, and Mandrake) in a diabolical plan to use the heroes' powers and minds to power their robots.

It's going to take the heroes working together to not only stop the villains' plan but also the villains back up plan to force the heroes to surrender or they will destroy the heroes' planets.

What are the heroes to do? They fight back of course.

This is a fast-paced funny and action packed story that will have you rooting for the heroes. I think Cartoon Network should turn this into a cartoon special, I would watch it.

I like how the author kept each character in character with each of their distinctive personalities showing through. That can't be easy when you have so many different characters to write for. I also like how the artist made sure each character looked exactly as they were shown in their individual cartoon series.

This was a cool little cross-over story.
