I have a love / hate relationship with Charmed. I read the Season 9 comics and they were okay, nothing mind blowing. The reviews I saw for this were good, so I had to pick up a copy and read. SPOILERS AHEAD JUST SAYING -> I didn't like the artwork. Shannon Doherty didn't give the rights for Charmed to use her likeness, so "Prue" is a blonde haired woman who is covered in tattoos. The story line is also riddled with plot holes and doesn't really connect to the television show. Cole is back? I know he was in the Season 9 comic but why is he still in the story? Also, Coop aggravates me. The story line ended in a cliffhanger. I don't care, I won't be buying volume 2.

I was being generous giving this 2 stars.

This had even quicker pace than the previous season.
And, it also made me realize why I haven't been enjoying the graphic novels as much as the TV show.

Season 9 and 10 usually have some time pass between issues, so you're not following a story anymore, more like the most important demonic occurrences.

Apart from that, there is the mystery of
Spoilerwhat is wrong between the 3 sisters and Prue.
In the TV show, we were always in the sisters' secrets and lives, but in the comics we apparently only care about demons and fights.
And, that's what's majorly disconnecting me from the latter.

This one was both good and not. It may just be me having a bad day making it kind of me, but if I didn't already have a relationship to the story, I wouldn't have liked this at all.
Honestly, it felt a little like it was missing something, but not as bad as 2/5 stars.

Okay. Not as big a fan of this volume as I want to be. I will say that issue 5 got me mad emotional and I wasn't ready for that at all. Still processing it honestly.

Think I'm going to take a break here and get to the remaining volumes next month unless someone wants to buddy read them with me sooner.

So much better than season 9 so far. Gives me hope for the rest of the "season"

Ugghh Yes

This one broke my heart. But I loved it, still. I am, of course, ready for the next volume. My diehard-Charmed-fan self is loving the continuation. Loving even more that it's in comic form. This is a big, broken yes from me.

Mini review time! This one picks up relatively soon after the finale of season 9. Some big things happen to the main characters--some of which I'm surprised about--which made the seriousness of the Charmed Ones' situation more clear. Ultimately I feel like the event
Cole's death
wasn't as emotional as it could have been because all my feelings on it had been spent long ago. I hadn't gotten back to feeling a connection, so it kind of fell flat for me.

I really liked the final chapter in this volume because it introduced what will become the big bad for this season. I thought that the plot of this one followed a line that was clearer than some of the last volumes in season 9, so I hope that continues because it makes the series as a whole more enjoyable.
