Apparently it's set about a year and a half after S8 not 8 years. Although by the looks of Wyatt and Chris they've taken a few liberties there.

That's why I said, it looked like it was set about 8 years after S8, though thinking about it, it looks more like about 5 or 6 years, but still if it's only 18 months they really are taking a liberty there!

Maybe someone can contact them and ask about the age-jump and how far in the future it is set?

Yeah issue #0 isn't all that great really, more of a re-cap issue.
I'm just hoping it doesnt fall prey to what normally happens to Zenescope comics. Great looking covers, pretty mediocre (at best) inside.

i hope it's as brilliant as Buffy's

i loved Charmed when it was on but haven't re-watched it for AGES! may get back into it again soon, i really hope they push out the storylines with the comics it does all sound really promising though. I did enjoy season 8 (more so than 7 actually) but in all honesty i felt they could have gone further with some plots and less in other places too, i also felt Phoebe and Paige became somewhat underused in some storylines.

i love Alyssa Phoebe was my favourite on the show, loved the Phoebe/Cole plot through S3-mid S5 it was the greatest plot on the show, so very dark and twisted i loved it! but aside from The Source and Barbas and The Triad there weren't too many BIG foes so i hope the comics go that extra mile!

also, Prue was a favourite of mine too and would love if she returns in some form in a storyline too!

while not a Shannen fan entirely i felt her acting was exceptional and she made prue a character the audience could really relate to and identify with which was awesome!

Still have not got them in the shops

Was about to order off 86th floor, and its minimum £1.32 for delivery!
For a comic, thats almost the same price, so its basically double the price!
Wish Forbidden Planet had them in stock

Maybe the shops will get them in once Issue #1 is out. That one is due out this week or next, some places say this week others say next which is the 28th.

There are a few previews and reviews already online, and a few page excerpts

Well that was a forlorn hope.

I read issue one today and to say I was disappointed would be understating it.

The story wasnt much (fair enough it was only the opening chapter, but nothing grabbed me), and the art was quite poor.

As much as I loved Charmed, if the quality doesnt pick up, this title wont be long on my subscription.

I totally agree.
Issue #1 was rubbish! Even #0 was better, and that was poor too!

What made it even worse was that it was only 18 months had passed, yet Wyatt looked to be about 8 and Chris just a year younger than him. And all three charmed ones had babies too! Including Paige's twins!

Yeah I do think they should have made it at least set in 2010. I can't imagine Paige running to have kids so quickly. I mean Phoebe was desperate for kids for the best part of the last three seasons so I'm not surprised that she's got a kid, but I wouldn't realistically have thought that Paige was ready to be a parent yet.

I think it was because there was quite a bit of set up which wasn't helped by the fact that the show tied things up so nicely. The set-up wasn't great and what was covered could have been done in about half the pages, but I'm hopeful that things will pick up next issue.

Another thing about Issue #1 was, and I'm not sure if this is the 'norm', but the last NINE pages were an advertisement for another comic. I could have undertood and tolerated a 2 page spread, but NINE???

Apparently issue one sold out and Zenescope are doing a second printing. The next issue is out on Sept. 1st.

Also issue 6 is a Phoebe One-Shot dealing with the events of Morality Bites. Covers at the Charmed Wiki http://charmed.wikia.com/wiki/Morality_Bites...Back

It's Issues 1-5 collected into a paperback. Not sure when it's released but it's definitely coming in the style of the BtVS S8 volumes.

Is that a jumping off point I smell? Quite possibly.

Issue 2 is released this week. I haven't got my copy yet but from the many, many previews online this issue seems to build towards the overall arc a lot better than the first issue did.

It is set about 18 months AFTER the last televised series.

It's a little sad, but after getting issue #2 yesterday with some other comics in the post, I have to say it is just as crap as
issue #1.

Shame, I had high expectations for this comic.

Ive read up to issue 3 now including 0.

I think they are quite good, a great storyline to continue the series in a comic format
