Review - Charmed: Season 9 Volume 3

Title: Charmed Season 9 Volume 3 
Publisher: Zenescope 
Pub Date: April 24, 2012 
ISBN: 9781937068967 
Author: Paul Ruditis 

I caught a couple of episodes of Charmed during it’s original run, but I didn’t get a chance to really like it until I borrowed my grandmother’s complete series of it. I watched episode after episode and I had the whole series watched in three months. When I saw Season 9 Volume 3 was up for review on NetGalley, I had to request to review it.

In the continuing style of the Buffyverse comics, Charmed continues the storyline from the series finale with the Season 9 comic book series. Even though I haven’t read the first two volumes, I easily understood what was going on in Volume 3 which consists of the issues 13-19.

“Piper’s Place” is a standalone story that shows how Piper’s life is in total chaos. She is busy being one of the charmed ones, a mother to two young boys, a wife, and opening a new restaurant. Her son misses her and puts a spell on her. A spell that multiplies Piper.

“Cupids Harrow” is about Phoebe and her husband, Coop, who is having issues with his new Cupid Assignment. As Phoebe tries to find out what is haunting Coop, a supernatural element is stalking her - Cole.

The next four issues (“Where There’s Smoke There is a Firestarter,” “The Heavens Can Wait”, “Family Shatters”, “Four’s Company,”) deals with Cole trying to get redemption for himself by finding the thought-to-be-dead Prue, who has been brought back, but in a new body.

The last issue “Crosses, Triple Cross” is another standalone tale, this time focusing on Paige as she brings a fictional private detective to the life to help her solve a mystery.

Charmed fans will enjoy these continuing stories of these three, no make those four witches. I loved that the brought back one of my favorite characters, Cole, and gave him a new focus. I was shocked that they brought back Prue. Even though there will probably never be a Charmed movie, it is nice to know that there is a Charmed Season 10 comic books in the works.
