Charmed: Let Gorgons Be Gorgons Part 1: Charmed Series #2 by Paul Ruditis

I just finished the TV series and this is just, perhaps shorter, just as incredible as it! With the same humor, twist, magic and power, this comic series makes the reader feel like there's enough Charmed material to keep working on for a long, long while, and I'll be there to follow it!

¡Acabo de terminar la serie de televisión y esto es simplemente, puede que más corto, tan increíble como ella! Con el mismo humor, giros, magia y poder, esta serie de cómics hace que el lector sienta que hay suficiente material de Charmed para seguir trabajando durante mucho tiempo, ¡y estaré allí para seguirlo!

I won't get tired of these girls, ever. Every issue is better than the past one, and things just keep getting wilder! There's more magic in this series, either in the comics or the TV show.

This is the second collection of the comic book issues which continue the Charmed canon. Having read the 1st issue a while ago, I could have easily picked up this one without reading it or even remembering what it was vaguely about. As a fan of the show, it is true to the plot structure of what an episode would be like. However, the inconsistency in how the girls are portrayed can get a little frustrating. Specifically, Paige’s character is drawn differently in all 7 issues. It might be little changes with hair colour and length, but as viewers of the show know, Rose McGowan’s face changed noticeably – not just due to age – over the course of her 5 year part on Charmed. Other than that, this volume was incredibly enjoyable and has left me wanting more with the hint of a story line featuring Prue in the next issue. I can’t wait to read more.

EDIT: I reviewed this book in a vlog on my youtube channel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcBo_8j7Jbk

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.
