Cleaned my cabinets and found my collection of W.I.T.C.H. comics 😭 I don't have the complete collection but I have about 30 issues. So I might just take another trip to nostalgia land and read this whole series for the first time (just like I did with Inuyasha mangas last year 😂)

Okay so. First issue ever. The art is good. I remember just taking the time and tracing every character and trying to draw them when I was a kid 😂 I definitely had a phase lol.

Storytelling-wise, I think it's a little disjointed. And a lot of info dump dear lord. As a result it can get a little confusing. Definitely interesting though, I love fantasy and world-building details so I'm looking forward to diving into the world-building of this one.

Also why do they transform to older teenage version of themselves when they transform and use magic? They're supposed to be 13 in this, but when they use powers they look like 16? Like what's the logic behind that 😭😂 When I was younger I didn't give it much thought. But being older now, I guess I just find that a little weird?

Hopefully the next few issues get better 👀
