To me the storyline is medicore at best and the art is crap. Not a good combination for comics. I have the next 3 issues already ordered and I dont intend to order any more.

I think the storyline is quite good. It is taking a while to get going because the television show wrapped everything up so nice and tidy. But the artwork is being done by another artist in the next issue and the regular artist (Dave Hoover) is leaving after doing Issue 5.

Issue 4 is out. It was a long, long wait between issues since they changed the artist but the new art is much, much better and the storyline is also improving as well. Probably the best issue so far.

yeah just my issue today, that will change thought as its 2 weeks for the next then 2 weeks after that for the next next issue. Liking it so far, cool new powers they have and the storyline with all the past characters and the source is great

Having got it in the post today, I am not convinced it is better. Just on the cover, all three girls look identical.

It's been a crappy wasted opportunity this comic.

No they don't. The covers are photoshopped anyway so how could they all look the same?

You are thinking of a different cover.

This is the one I got:

I defy you to decide which girl is which and be anywhere near 100% confident in your choice.

I completely forgot about this, I've never been good with comics anyway, stopped reading the Buffy one half way through, now just catch up occasionally using wiki.

The one on the bed, I'm certain is Paige, have no idea which one's which at the door though.

^^ See, if pushed I would have said the one on the bed was Phoebe.

I dont think it's too much to ask to be able to pick up a Charmed comic and be able to recognise the three sisters straight away without second and third guessing yourself...

Agreed, I'm kind of glad I didn't bother now. Is it just as bad inside?

I see Charmed is still copying Buffy the Vampire Slayer after all these years

I totally forgot about that cover. My bad. I thought you were talking about the Seidman covers which are much, much better. My bad

The artwork inside is much better now though since they changed artists. It's still not as good as it could be but is it a lot better and the sisters actually look similar to the actress. That said, the Buffy comic artwork isn't all that great either. Especially on characters like Dawn, Kennedy and Faith - they all look the same-ish.

Issue 5 has been postponed. Zenescope are rubbish at getting things out on time but it looks like it'll be out late Jan.
