Ik heb alle seizoenen van Charmed verslonden op tv. Ook de pocketboekjes heb ik zoveel mogelijk gelezen. Toen ik deze in de kringloop zag liggen, moest ik m hebben. Het zijn gewoon losse verhalen, die samen wel een rode draad hebben. Het gaat natuurlijk over de Charmed zussen en ze maken van alles mee. De tekenstijl twijfel ik nog een beetje aan. Ik had de stille hoop dat de tekeningen wel zouden lijken op de dames uit de tv serie, maar ik kon bijvoorbeeld Paige amper herkennen. Heerlijk nostalgisch om even tussendoor te lezen.

I started re-watching Charmed the T.V show again recently & remembered that I still hadn't read this-Despite having had it for ages!
It didn't take me long to read, once I got used to the style-As I haven't read a Comic Book in ages!
I love the imagery-The Book of Shadows catch up in the beginning is great & the second Artist, Marcio Abreu, is my favourite out of the 2 main Artists featured. As the characters resemble the actresses a bit more & the style is more realistic-Especially body wise!
The plot was just like an episode of the T.V show, as was the dialogue-Corny moments {From both sides} & all!
I also enjoyed the Bonus Prelude Story & the Cover Gallery at the end. I love the Issue 2 Cover A Wraparound by Greg Horn-Beautiful!
I'm blatantly biased, as I love all things Charmed, but this is still a great Comic Book!

I have mixed feelings on this, but I'm hopeful that the series will improve. The artwork is decent enough, although sometimes it seems a bit too bright and colourful when it shouldn't be, and the sisters often look like little girls. I also have mixed feelings with the plot, I don't think it was right to plunge straight into the kind of story that wouldn't be typical of the TV series i.e. the giant golem as an antagonist. I understand that moving to the medium of comic books opens up a lot of possibilities for the story, but it was too soon and too unrealistic for me (but then again, we are dealing with witches and demons here). If you were a fan of the TV series and don't have a dislike for comic books then give this a go, but don't expect it to live up to the show.

I read the entirety of season 9 and season 10 in a day. It's true to the show, and it's a fabulous continuation.

Watched 8 seasons of Charmed in 2 weeks, so what's more natural than diving headfirst into the graphic novel continuation of the series?
Season 9 picks up 18 months after the end of the show, with a bunch of new toddlers and of course new (and old) enemies. Honestly, the toddler part, I would have liked to see how it developed (i mean the pregnancy and stuff) but anyway.
I particularly love the artwork of the covers, because it most closely resembles the actual actors and actresses of the show.

The second volume of Charmed Season 9, with the villain introduced in the previous installment, but way more action-packed. Some interesting information about Prue was also provided and can't wait to see how they handle this in the next volumes.
