Maybe it's because I have the first 5 issues in one book but issue one seems short.
So all three sisters have kids. What did they have a pregnancy pact?
I'm not sure of what I think of the comic version of the Charmed ones but it does make me wounder what I would look like in a comic.
I thought it was cute how Prue teleported Phoebe back to the house.
What are cupids powers? I thought all the magic and powers came from the ring. Am I wrong?

The only think I can think of is the half breeds (witch/whitelighters too) have a slightly different genetic make-up then those who got their powers through normal channels. Graphics wise, I love Dave Hoover's Coop. No pregnancy pact, but I'd say Melinda was probably some sort of Leo's-back-lots-of-"time"-spent-together thing and Little Prue . . . well, it's Phoebe. She's been wanting a baby since season six. I am slightly obsessive, so here are scans of five of my issue #1 covers . . . yes, as in I have more than five copies (the other three are signed). SP, if you'd like I have scans of every cover (or at least the ones I have, which is all but the limited one for issue #8 and I'll get that in the next couple of weeks) and I have uploaded them to my photobucket. There are more or less equal in size and I have quick access to the thumbnails so that they take up only a small amount of space, but can be seen in more detail if clicked on. PM if you'd like them. I agree that it was a slow start, but it was interesting to see where everyone was at in their lives and know right at the start how they were managing with the lack of demons over the past eighteen months. It was also nice to see that they seem to have grown closer without the demons to deal with. And I had to laugh at Phoebe's clothes. She's got more clothes on then she has since . . . ever? (Excluding anything that required winter jackets). |

I have (sadly) never been to a comic con. I would love to be able to attend them all, but that is a goal for the future. I actually have two of the issue #1 limited cover, two of the issue #2 limited covers, and one each of the limited covers for issues #3, #4, #5, #7, and #8. The additional limited covers for #1 and #2 are signed by Raven Gregory (issue #1) and Paul Ruditis (#2). Most of them I purchased from ebay with the exception of the limited cover #2 that Paul Ruditis signed for me (along with regular covers for issues #0, #1, #3, #4, and #5) when I won a contest he had (also included where a large number of his works, most of the rest not Charmed related, all signed). I have a second copy of issue #1 signed by Paul Ruditis which was won in a contest and a copy of issue #6 which was signed by Tess Fowler directly to me (it is the only signed issue with my name also on the cover). Would you like me to scan and post my signed copies of issue #1 in this thread? I have gained more since I posted that comment.
Yeah, I wish I had gone to the comic con. Then I would be able to meet the people behind the comics and while I have communicated online with more than one of them (the two authors, two of the artists, one of the colorists, and the agents of three of the artists), I would love to meet any or all of them.
Someday.

That would be cool! Are you looking at the list at the end of issue #9? None of those are near here. I think I'm going to have to aim for trying to go to something next year, where, I'm not sure, but I definitely want to go to one of the cons they are at.

Yes I am looking at the list. None of the cities are near me either but I will be in the NY area during the time they are there.

I agree. Enjoy yourself and take lots of notes so you can tell us all about it.
