Charmed Back in Action
If you were a fan of the show you will be a fan of the graphic novels. This volume contains the first 6 issues (#0-5), which are refered to as chapters in this book. Issue #0 is a recap of the first 8 seasons of Charmed, so if you never watched the series or just want a refesher on what happened over the first 8 years this is the book for you. This volume also contains a prequel "To the Warren Born". It takes place back when Charlotte Warren was pregnant with the first Warren witch, Melinda. You'll also find all the cover artwork considered for the issues this volume holds.As a Charmed fan it was hard for me to put this book down and I ended up finishing this book in only a few hours. The graphic novles begin about a year and a half after the series finale, and Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and their respective husbands are raising their families for once not having to worry about demons and the underworld. This is of course until Neena and Hogan, two new enemies, start plotting to raise one of the girls old foes from the dead. While having to worry about this new threat to their peaceful lives the girls also have to deal with the fact that ALL their past innocents are in danger as well as a danger to them, and their children are starting to come into their powers.My only problem would be the artwork. They had different artist every few issues so while the artwork itself is great your sometimes left wondering if it is Piper or Phoebe talking, and half the time you can not tell the difference between Leo, Coop, and Henry. Not to mention Wyatt and Chris look a little too old for it to have only been a year and a half since the show ended and the beginning of the graphic novel series, other than that if you loved Charmed you would love this start to season 9.

Loved it............
When this series was on TV I was hooked, I really liked these lovely and strong sisters, that were also known as the Charmed Ones. I was so sorry that the show ended and was hoping that maybe a spin-off was being planned. I saw these Zenescope Comics and t,hat Charmed was included, and I flipped. I bought the first two books in this series and really enjoyed them. I'm planning on buying books #3 and #4 this fall when it comes out. Wonderful stories in both books, and also enjoyed seeing their children coming into their powers. The other stories were great as well, and seeing Leo,Coop and even Henry actively involved with the situations as well. Loved seeing the girls Dad and even Grams, and Penny, their mother. If you want to see how the Charmed ones survived and continued with they're lives buy these comics, even though not in novel form very enjoyable and exciting. I highly recommend these comic books, they're great.

Not bad for a first chapter
I don't want this review to seem negative. I did enjoy the first issue, but I really hoped for better writing! I am a long-time Charmed fan and as such I have learned to deal with the inconsistencies in the writing of the show. I overlook some of the ridiculous plot lines, etc. because I love the characters so much. However, I've always wished that Charmed would some day return to its former roots and become a little more grown up again. I enjoyed this graphic novel, but I have to say I was expecting better artwork and a more mature style of writing. The last three seasons of Charmed were so sugar-coated and fluffy that it made my teeth ache. I really wish the writers would go darker again. Charmed was never super gritty and realistic, but it at least had the element of horror in the beginning of it's run. I really hope to see the series go back towards its roots and just stop all the sugar-coated family friendly crap. The show originally wrote for adults and by the time it ended, I felt like the series was catering to 10-year-olds and ignoring the fans it started out with who are a little old to find the soft-serve story lines enticing anymore.

Excellent Way To Do Season 9
When I saw this listed on Amazon I didn't realize that they decided to a 9th season in comic book form. I was thrilled to see that they decided to this. I know that they are going the same way Buffy The Vampire Salyer went with their 8th Season..I think that it is great. I just got this in the mail and have read it in one day.I was very impressed with the story and the artwork of the entire book. This story picks up a little after the 8th season ended. Each of the Charmed Ones now have children. The children are coming into their powers already in this star of Season 9. Another Feature I like about this graphic novel is that it has all the bonus covers of the comics in the back and a special bonus story . If you are Charmed Fan and have been waiting to see what has been going on with the Sisters this is the graphic novel for you.

Charmed Forever!
If you are a Charmed fan like me, then I know u can never get enough of the Power of Three. Although I would much rather have a Feature Film or TV spin off, the Charmed comics are an amazing little treat for any Charmed fan. I personally have been buying the separate issues, but decided to get the book as well because it comes with all the bonus issue covers (each single issue has 2-3 cover variants) and also a very cute bonus story at the end. Also, the paper quality seems much better. These first five issues take place about a year after the show ended, and although now they have like a million kids, luckily the emphasis of the book (and action) still revolves around our favorite three divas. The girls powers advance a bit as well, which is cool, and realistically for the price, u cant beat a "premonition" into the future of our favorite witches. Do urself a favor, and buy Charmed Season 9. Even in print, the girls can't be beat.

Best New Series On Comic Book!!
I Have been scouting charmed forever . This book picks up where the series left off and we are introduced to new mysterious powers and new people .The demons are better , no much human demons anymore . Real demons . The Artwork is beautiful . The Bonus artwork is a must have . If you're a true fan like me who collected all the series you want to collect the comics too. They leave charmed with unlimited limits .Which means more plots demons explosions story lines. In All Its A Great book buy it i don't regret it and am now collecting them . They are going to be worth a lot in the future !

The Warren Line Continues...
The Charmed comics are better than they should be. Season 9 Volume 1 was a fantastic read. Based on the reviews on Amazon, I was a little concerned but when I read it, I realized that the writers did a fantastic job of recapturing the personalities, dialogue and powers of the Charmed Ones in comic form. Even the storylines are done well, following a similar format of long running (and engaging) story arcs and standalone episodes, which contribute minor plot developments but redirect their focus to character development. Sure, the drawings could be better in some of the chapters, but the lovely characters and storylines already have me hooked. For anyone who isn’t familiar with Charmed, this volume does a great job of covering the important parts of the television series needed to understand where the story is headed. The volume itself includes five chapters (or stories), a bonus prelude chapter, a Books of Shadows style introduction to the Charmed mythology, and fantastic cover artwork (some of which is from exclusive editions released separately).*telekinetically presses the submit button Prue style.

Everything I wanted
If you were ever a fan of the Charmed TV series, you will love this graphic novel. It picks up where the series left off. It even includes its own mini Book of Shadows. I was impressed with both the artwork and the stories.

Good job, but not tthat much thrill
The action is fast, the drawing is ok, this is definitively not the serie's charm, but it's okay if you're a big fan of the tv show and you want to know what's happening next.

This is such a perfect way for fans of the show to continue "watching" it after it ended. I was so upset after it finish and now that we have these graphic novels it's just great. I love it.
