Book Spotlight: Powderpuff!

By Akira B.

Welcome or welcome back!

I know, I know. It's been awhile since we've done one of these despite all the things happening at the press. (I'm only one guy and there's a lot of plates spinning, some of them are bound to be set down. But hey! None of them crashed!)

Blog gets first dibs on the the news again! So let's talk about the upcoming book:

Illustrated by Akira B.

Powderpuff! (Ansley Earle )

120 pages

Full Color

Genre: Magical Kids

Rating: All

The animosity between Piddleton Middle's football and cheer team reaches new heights when they are granted powers by the spirits of Good & Evil. Their social standings crumble as their respective negative qualities are exposed through battle, teaching them and the readers the importance of self reflection.

So what happens when you give a bunch of middle schoolers powers? Chaos, that's for sure!

And a sneak peek at the first few pages below:

PowderPuff! will debut with preorders AND digital copies September 3rd, 2026! (Right around football season even, hah) Get hype, tell your friends, your neighbors, your enemies, and your local comic shops!

An old message, but a prevalent one no less:

We're in a time where more and more indie publishers are cropping up in light of larger industries failures, and as you all know, like the rest, we rely on all of your support to keep our vision alive. So this is a reminder that we appreciate you sticking with us for this long and seeing us grow this far. Even if we slow down here and there, we don't have any plans on stopping.

If you'd like to further support us here's a few ways to do that:

• Tell your local comic shops about us! WildStar Press offers a Retailer Discount for shops that want to purchase are books.

• Tell your friends! There's a comic for everyone here and we're trying to get these comics in everyone's hands.

• Donate! We have a Ko-Fi page! All proceeds go back into the Press website maintenance, book printing, and more!

We're continuously grateful for all of your support whether it's been through purchasing books or sharing them across platforms. I (Akira again) want to see WildStar Press grow to really make a difference in our community, and I'm glad you're helping me along the way. Thanks.

Until next time, see you in the stars 🌟
