I think we all know what happened in the show.
What Es meant, was whether the comic might take a different approach and ignore the final episode future stuff and go their own roote or if they do stick with canon, how many kids are we going to see?

What Es meant, was whether the comic might take a different approach and ignore the final episode future stuff and go their own roote or if they do stick with canon, how many kids are we going to see? i think they will stay true to the show. Proof is Melinda in Pipers hands in the previews and the magic school being taken back (if you see the previews you can see there are students and leo is wering a teachers robe) as explained in the last episode Maybe we wont see Paiges and Phoebes children soon because they are born later (and i hope we wont see many children because that will bring confusion) |

Big Update - SPOILER Issue 4- Paul Ruditis & Raven Gregory (W) Dave Hoover (A) To keep them safe from harm, the Charmed ones bring the remaining innocents back to the manor. But little do they know the Source has returned and cast a spell turning every innocent in the entire city against them...Even as they fight to survive, the Charmed Ones learn that the source has planned his arrival at the perfect time to destroy the power of three once and for all." So whats everyone think? www.comicpull.com/issue/charmed-4 |

I read on zomgas site that the last page has the BoS entries the girls wrote at the end of "Forever Charmed" and that parts of it are deliberately hard to read or even impossible. And according the there Paul Ruditis hinted that there might be a reason for that.
I'm wondering if maybe that reason could be that they aren't necessarily sticking to that and that it's written that way because the events in those entries are fading away. Not having seen it yet, I don't have a whole lot to go on, but does anyone else have any theories as to why that might be done that way deliberately?

YAY! I'm happy and excited! I finally got a chance to stop at my local comic store (which is ironically called The Source) and get a chance to pre-order Charmed #0! They already had them on order, but are going to set one aside for me and contact me when they come in. All of their new issues come out on Wednesdays, so it could be this Wednesday or the next or the following.
I can't wait!

That's great, Es. I think that the title of the comic store is hilariously ironic.

If you look at my post a little bit up the page, reply #123, I commented on the review.
And thanks for the heads up on the newest covers (or is it cover, since the one isn't going to be used for that according to it?) They look interesting.

I just was looking at some of the pictures posted on Zomgas' site and someone posted a picture of the last page, the one with the sisters' last words that they wrote in the book, the one with faded words. As predicted, I couldn't read it for the most part, but I found a site that had the words posted and tried to figure out what words are missing: From Phoebe's entry - with two other special little girls Could that mean that they're won't be two other special girls for Phoebe and instead only the one? From Paige's entry - little Henry and Could that mean no little Henry, only the twins? From Piper's entry - Which filled the time between when we were doing the fighting and when our kids were old enough to take over. Not sure about that one. Could it maybe mean that there will be no time between when they are fighting and when their kids are? Also from Piper's entry - teaching. Which he continued to do, until it was time to retire. Could that mean that although we probably saw Leo in magic school in one of the previews, he won't be in magic school for long? Or could all that mean more than that? Maybe the faded words are only the beginning. Maybe everything in there is going to fade, because the future is not as predictable as all that. Maybe anything that hasn't already happened by the time Issue #1 starts might not happen at all. What do you guys think?
Hoping that I get a call tomorrow telling me my comics are in. |

Someone had sent me the premise for the comic Season 9 of "CHARMED". I see that the writing has not improved one whit.

Someone had sent me the premise for the comic Season 9 of "CHARMED". I see that the writing has not improved one whit. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If I understand correctly the premise is just the basic idea or the plan for something. How can you get an opinion on the writing from that? Or do you mean the story lines thus far mentioned, with the source being back and the previous innocents being under attack? Can you elaborate some on what you mean, please?
On a different note Paul Ruditis tweeted that the title of the first issue is "Charmed Life". According to him all the episodes have a title and this the one for issue one. |

SPOILER ALERT! ANYONE WHO IS PLANNING ON GETTING CHARMED #0 AND HASN"T YET AND DOESN'T WANT TO GET SPOILED, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I'm *very* happy.
I just got my copy of Charmed #0 - the people from The Source never called me or emailed me as they promised, but I went over and they had it. Unfortunately, they only featured one cover, the green one with full bodies and I prefer the other one. Typical.
Although some of it made me roll my eyes, all-and-all I'm happy with it and am planning on getting Charmed #1 when it comes out.
The main thing that irritated me is that it appears that Piper gets her whole family when Phoebe only gets her single daughter and Paige just her twins. Since Piper never even mentioned her daughter in her entry during "Forever Charmed", and Paige specifically mentioned a son she doesn't get to have, I don't feel like Prudence Melinda should exist in the comic book world. It just makes me feel like the comic book is going to be the continuation of "The Perils of Poor, Poor, Pitiful Piper" and if that's the case, I won't keep buying them for long.
But I thoroughly enjoyed all of the summaries, both of the sisters and the seasons, and was very curious by the spells that were chosen, wondering how many of them will pop up in future issues.
In the same way, I found it very interesting to see which storylines the authors chose to illustrate for each season - the spirit board for Season One; Phoebe burning for Season Two, Piper and Leo marrying for Season Three, the rebirth of The Power of Three for Season Four, Phoebe the mermaid for Season Five, Piper and Excalibur for Season Six, 40's Paige for Season Seven and The Ultimate Battle for Season Eight.
My other problem is that the writing doesn't sound like any of the sisters, not even their own pages, and why draw pictures of themselves? If they're going to include photos of Prue, Cole, Grams, Patty, Wyatt, Chris and Billie, I feel like they should've included photos of Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Coop, Paige and Henry. Actually I would've preferred photos of the latter and drawings of the ones who are gone, but I suppose that would've led to speculation as to whether those characters would return. If the ones in the pictures never return to the comics, I won't complain, as much as I love Prue, Grams and Patty.
It also irritated me that the season recaps are supposed to be written by one of the Charmed Ones, but each sister is always referred to by her name, not but "I", as Phoebe is in the writeup of Cole (and that's the one that sounded the least like the person writing it).
Especially where they use different fonts for each sister's page and continue to do this for the "Forever Charmed" page, I feel like each sister should've written a quick summary of what had happened to them, perhaps set up to sound like it had just been written at the end of that season with no idea of what was to come, so that even Prue could've written about Seasons 1 & 2.
But those are just irritations, not true complaints. All and all, I'm pleased and plan on getting Issue #1.

They shouldve had Prue just write about her and her sisters journey throughout S1-8.

Oh! That would've been nice! Especially if it did sound like Prue.

You never know, Es. The comics might restore your faith in the Charmedverse...or failing that, it might make you turn it off forever!  Well, I have a heckova lot more respect for Paul Ruditis than I *ever* had for Brad Kern, so maybe, just maybe.... I'm at least very willing to go into it with an open mind. And who knows? If Paul has been lurking at certain virtual series sites... I could always hope that the sourcebook shows that "Forever Charmed "was nothing but Piper's dream and now we get to find out what *really* happened....or if they never refer to it, I always could pretend that... That way when one of the sisters is in danger (especially Piper), there would still be a sense of drama, wondering if she'll get out of it, the thing I probably hated most about "Forever Charmed". ETA: Thinking about this made me use my lunch hour to re-read PCP's fantastically wonderful Blessed Be or as I call it "Forever Sisters", the perfect rewrite of "Forever Charmed," even more than my "Charmed Forever". Unless something in the comic books specifically makes me think that it *isn't* the way "Blessed Be" went, it's the way I'm going to think of it. That way I can truly go into it respecting and admiring all three sisters (actually all four..), something I couldn't do if I accepted "Forever Charmed" as written by Kern. Well, maybe not Amber's fantastically wonderful epilogue, since that's 5 years in the future, in 2009, but the rest of it, yes. I was re-reading this thread and found this, which I wrote back in April. I realized that with the way this comic book universe is set up - Piper with all three, Phoebe with just Ladybug, and Paige with just her twins, I can indeed pretend that Blessed Be (aka Forever Sisters) was the prologue for the comic books, not Forever Charmed. ;D The only difference is that Amber's epilogue takes place 5 years in future and all four female cousins are four years old - I love the idea of all three Charmed Ones pregnant at the same time - that would've been hilarious! Little Prudence Melinda in the comic books, definitely isn't four, any more than Wyatt or Chris are, even if they have Wyatt (or is it Chris? He's the bigger of the two, but he's a brunet) calling Piper Mommy. |

Just letting everyone know that you might not want to join Zongas' message board, Charming Talk. Twice he edited my post, deleting a lot of what I had posted and putting in his own comment, making it look like that's what I posted.
Everyone can tell how often I go back and edit my own (like I'm doing right now). Well, the nice part about his board is you can edit to your heart's content as long as someone else doesn't post after you and there's no message saying that you had edited.
Unfortunately an admin can do the same thing, so there is no indication in that post that the admin (Zongas) had edited it, so it truly looks like what he wrote is what I wrote.
I can't figure out how to close my account, but I won't post there any more.

I was quoting your posts so i could answer but i made mistakes and it seemed like i wrote what you write and it was like i edited what you said. That wasnt what i wanted. And i understand my fault. I deleted these posts in the forum. P.S i would be glad if you come back but writing in another forum bad things for mine without even giving me a chance to make you understand that i made a mistake and it wasnt intentional is wrong |

I understand, but I won't be part of a forum where an admin can even accidentally edit my posts and make everything I wrote go away and make it look like his opinions are mine. That's the fault of the platform you've chosen, not yours, but it's not something I want to be part of.
The rest of you can decide on your own.
