THE WAIT... IS OVER!
The Power of Three finally returns in Zenescope's official continuation of CHARMED! When an ancient evil older than time itself targets the Charmed Ones, they will have to call on help from the magical community... including their estranged sister Prue and the former demon Cole... for help. But will it be enough when an Old One sets its sights on the Halliwells?
An all new epic storyline begins, written by Pat Shand (Robyn Hood, Grimm Fairy Tales) and up-and-coming artist Elisa Féliz, edited by Charmed fan favorite Paul Ruditis!
The TV series might have ended, but the Halliwell sisters and their foes live on in these well-drawn and surprisingly familiar comics. Charmed: Season 10 #1 gives me hope that this next season will continue what has long been a favorite show for a lot of people. Thebookis still able to surprise fanswith new characters, interesting plot lines, and wry humor. It's definitely a series to catch upwith if you haven't already and a great start to the new series if you're up-to-date with the Charmed Ones. Read Full Review
Charmed Season 10 #1 sees the return of the Halliwell sisters, and though it may not be their greatest outing, the script that Shand produces will certainly keep fans happy. It also gives a wonderful sense of things to come, with the narration allowing for a sense of mystery as well as suspense. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
Long and short, if you're a fan of the show, the comic book surely won't disappoint! Great action, growing story, same sarcasm! Read Full Review
Overall, the story is fantastic: it feels just like an episode of Charmed, but it's let down by sub-par artwork. It has the potential to be a fantastic comic series, but not if this level of artwork continues. I really hope to see an improvement in the next issue. Read Full Review
As it stands Charmed #1 is a mixed bag, I like the idea of using lower level demons the girls wouldn't care about as antagonists and actually addressing one of the series core flaws is a bold move but there's still a lot of broken stuff here. Our filler villain is kind of lame and the artwork is so lackluster I couldn't tell who each character was supposed to be. I will say that the girls actually being active this issue is a massive step in the right direction and seeing Cole and Prue back in the series is a welcome return but for right now there really just wasn't enough good for me to truly recommend this one, maybe with issue 2.

It would seem as though that the rebranding failed. After reading issue #1, there is very little to draw a new reader in, and for fans of the series, aside from the presence of the characters, there is very little of the same dynamic going on. While I get at what the writers are going for with the big idea behind Season 10, it is not at all engaging, at least not from this first issue, as the Halliwell girls join together to battle a demon with changing powers, told over a sloppily connected span of months. In the meantime other demons are behind the scenes pulling strings. The end result is not so good, but really I am not sure if it should be expected to be anything more. This is a franchise well past its expiry date, and it might be better for Zenescope to give up on this while they are ahead. Read Full Review
