Charmed: A Thousand Deaths by Erica Schultz.
Dynamite Entertainment is proud to continue the story of Phoebe, Piper, and Paige, television’s fan-favorite witches, in all-new adventures set within the official continuity of Charmed!.
Absolutely brilliant. I love the TV series of this book. I love page Piper and phoebe. 5*.

For Charmed fans its a welcome devour but I wish the story was bit more exciting or interesting. The art was really nice but it should have been on the cover to keep it consistent.
Overall I enjoyed reading it!

I love Charmed. To this day it is one of my all-time favourite TV series, and I have seen it countless times. This makes me want to re-watch the entire series AGAIN for the n-th time! So it is safe to say when I saw there was a graphic novel based on Charmed (set around the 4th season), I couldn’t resist in trying to get my hands on a copy!

But I have to say, I didn’t enjoy this as much as I would have liked to. I feel the characters in this graphic novel do not fully capture the characters I know from TV. The dimensions are missing, the emotions behind the actions as well. The art was okay! But I would have wished that they would have sticked to pencilling everything, instead of using pictures of the actresses from the TV show for the issue covers.

I feel that all in all, this could have been given a bit more attention and made it more epic. The story was pretty average and there was too much jumping around between the private lives of the sisters, their witch responsibilities and the bad guys’ intention (and background story at one point). I wish I could have liked this a bit better than I did. But sadly, I don’t feel like I can say this was anything more than a 2.5 star read for me.

Really enjoyed this. Miss the original show so it was a nice callback to the OG sisters! No one beats the P3 Halliwells.

While I very much thank the publisher for the approval on this title, it was unfortunately not a good fit for me. I did, however, add it to Goodreads, so that others may see it and find it more in line with their tastes.

I read through this graphic novel in an evening and, while I enjoyed the artwork and the story, it felt like I was reading just another episode. Same old, same old. It was a good story, just not memorable.

I was a big fan of the Charmed TV show and was excited to read this graphic novel but the story line and artwork did not capture the originality of the show. The story line seemed all over the place. Lots of your favorite Charmed characters are included but they are hard to recognize. It was a quick read.

Good for fans of the series, but not likely to get a lot of attention otherwise.

I have a confession to make: I haven't watched Charmed. I watched a few episodes back in the day, but it didn't catch me. I don't know why exactly. My guess is it was because it was airing at the same time as Buffy, and I loved Buffy, and I was a one-TV show kind of girl at the time. I was a kid, okay? Anyway, I saw this on Netgalley a few weeks ago and I thought I'd give the Charmed sisters another try, and now I'm kinda thinking about watching the show too.

The story in this comic book is pretty simple, when you think about it. Basically a bad guy with a lot of power wants to bring some pain and mayhem on Earth and decides to help another bad guy that wants the sisters dead. I feel that for the number of issues this volume had, the story was enough, however I kept wishing for a bit more depth. There were a lot of things that could have been explored more, like what Shaina can do and what are the limits of her power, what this place where souls go is like and more. I also didn't particularly like the fact that for as bad as he was, the sisters managed to get rid of the villain so fast, based on how devious he was. Djall was pretty smart and pretty evil, and I believe he deserved a bit more struggle from the sisters' part. That being said, the story is pretty short, so it kind of makes sense that it was all solved so quickly.

The artwork was pretty amazing. I liked it a lot. The panels weren't too crowded, and they were easy to read and to follow. The colors used were very pretty and vibrant, but they also got pretty dark when the story went to darker scenes, which I liked. I love it when the color tones follow the story-line like that.

All in all, this was a pretty good story, and it made me curious about the sister and their stories, so I might be inclined to watch the show now.

I'm a huge Charmed fan and understandably I couldn't wait to read something new about my three favorite witches. While the story was interesting to read, I had problems with the art work. It was hard to recognize Phoebe, Paige and Piper and that made it difficult to keep tabs on who was where and said what. It took me double the amount of time to get through the book then it would have otherwise. I think hardcore Charmed fans will like the book though. I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thanks to NetGalley and Dynamite Entertainment!

Okay so i am not at all a Comic book /Graphic novel kind of reader. AT ALL!

I still try sometimes. And i am ALWAYS disappointed. Sadly.

But i LOVE Charmed. So of course when i saw a book on NetGalley about them i just had to request it. Because how bad can something with the charmed sisters be?

Pretty bad apparently!

Now as i said i am not an avid reader of this type of book. So maybe the problem with the very jumpy and not really streamline story telling was my personal problem.
But the entire book felt very unfinished, very mixed up and strangely put together, as if big junks of the story were missing.

It also was set during a strange time. We never actually get told when this takes place and technically it should be taking place AFTER season 7 since Paige has charges BUT Cole is in here and Piper and Leo clearly don't have kids yet so it would fit more into early to mid- Season 4. Which is just one example of many of things that completely confused me in this!

The actual story itself is also very strange and unfinished feeling jumping back and forth between the personal lives of the sisters, the "big bad" and the magical fighting. It all mixed up together in a very strange and not fitting way that it just got confusioning and felt like too much was happening when actually nothing really was happening.

Also the actual magical moments where NOTHING new at all, but just very typical stereotype charmed "filler" episode. Meaning that it felt like one of those episodes where a small baddie needed to come up before the next few episodes would be filled with the big fighting against the actual bad.

All in all?
Sorry but NO.
If you want to take on something as epic as charmed? Do it better. Do it right. This sadly was not that at all.

The timeline of this didn't match with the seasons of the show and also the characters didn't even look like the tv characters or even "sounded" like them either.

A mediocre try at a Charmed novel, interesting plot but doesn't hold a candle to the TV series and the writing isn't great either, going on more than necessary at times.
The sisters were great as usual and stayed true to their characters.
Easy to read.

Didn't have the familiar, fun feel of the show. The story felt choppy and the representations of the sisters were too different from the real thing...I never felt like I fell back into the world.

Review copy kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. As a long time Charmed fan, I had to request a review copy of this and I'm so glad I did. While it doesn't quite live up to it's TV series, any Charmed fan would find this, well..charming. I certainly did! It's nostalgic to experience Charmed in a new way after all this time.

Remember watching Charmed on tv? I always looked forward to seeing the next episode. The three sisters are powerful witches especially when they "work" together. Demons from the place known as hell are afraid of them so stay there even though they rather not.demons want to gather human souls so they can be out and about doing their "thing." One demon has figured out a way to get human souls for himself and his fellow demons. He also wants to get rid of the Charmed witches. Will he be able to do it? How?

Looking at the storyline and the illustrations makes this a fantastic volume to read and enjoy. I think that they caught the witches and their persona perfectly. I enjoyed this immensely.

So nice to revisit a a old favorite fictional world, and a great story to !!

I used to watch Charmed since I was a child, so when I saw that there was a graphic novel for the tv show, I had to pick it up.

The storyline seems to be what a typical episode features, which included the right doses of danger, sassiness, and the power of 3. So, I was happy with that aspect.

I didn't like the illustrations at all. I had a difficult time distinguishing who is who through out the entire comic. This was a huge turn off for me.

Now, I did say that the story had the correct dose of sassiness, but the kind of sassiness that belonged to each individual of the charmed ones was mixed up.

I received an eARC in exchange with an honest review.

Charmed is one of my favorite TV shows so I was excited to see this at NetGalley. I didn't even know there was a comic series based on the show but I don't read many comics these days. Sadly, this was a big disappointment. The artwork was poor, lacking definition and detail. Where the characters from the show were concerned, the resemblances were poor. Extreme facial close-ups were actually well done but other positions and angles often resulted in barely recognizable people.

The story, and some of the artwork, were full of cliches and stereotypes and often seemed pulled from the show, mixed and spat back out again. Towards the end, the story started to get a life of its own and become interesting but by then the story was almost over. The ending felt rushed as the last 10 or so pages, unbeknownst to me, consisted of alternate covers for the issues collected in the book. As I didn't expect that, I kept looking at the page numbers, thinking the pacing was off.

Overall, not recommended for fans or for new readers.

I'm sad to say that I have a few books from Netgalley that I DNF on... either it didn't hook me into the story and I lost least or I found out that there is more to the series and can't get the first and so on book from that series... Yup here it goes, Don't believe me wash the dishes! Look at the website: http://fkrants.blogspot.com/2017/09/ng-dnf-sept-edition.html
