Zenescope Brings Charmed To Comics!

Zenescope Entertainment has officially announced they have obtained the comic book and graphic novel publishing rights to the television property CHARMED (1998-2006) created by Constance M. Burge from Spelling Entertainment, under license from CBS Consumer Products.

The comic book publisher, known for beautiful, sultry and strong female characters, has now added three more to the mix. The ultra-popular CHARMED television series aired for eight seasons on The WB network and averaged more than 4 million viewers throughout its run.

Zenescope's comic book series will feature a brand new storyline which picks up where the television series left off. The story follows the Halliwell sisters, a beautiful trio descended from a line of powerful but good witches, as they battle against evil beings in modern day San Francisco.

Attached to write the new comic book series is author Paul Ruditis, who has written several Charmed novels such as Leo Rising (with Constance M. Burge) and As Puck Would Have It. Co-writing with Ruditis will be Raven Gregory, writer of the acclaimed Wonderland trilogy published by Zenescope. Renowned artist Dave Hoover (Captain America, The Wanderers) will be providing interior illustrations for the series.

"The key to this series success is to strike a nice balance in creating a brand new, intriguing storyline for fans of the television show while also not alienating Zenescope and comic book readers who haven't really followed it before but might want to now that it's a comic," said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco. "The great thing is that Paul and Raven have done just that with this story arc. Anybody will be able to pick up this series and follow it whether or not they ever watched the show before. Moreover, fans of the show are going to be thrilled when they see where this story goes."

Issue #0 is scheduled for a June release with issue #1 to debut at Comic Con International in San Diego this July.

Bei DH hab ich für mich jetz nix gefunden, finds aber gut das sie wirklich jedes Conanmaterial langsam in gesammelter Form rausbringen.
Häl die King Conan Serie denn das Niveau der anderen Reihen?

Quoted from "donnblack"

Hat schon wer Green Hornet #1 gelesen? Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere haben sich doch alle so darauf gefreut oder?

Green Hornet #1
Die Ausgabe beginnt mit Green Hornets letzter Mission. Smith schreibt gute Dialoge das Artwork von Lau ist wechselhaft. Manchmal gefällt er mir richtig gut doch es gibt Panels bei denen er einfach zu cartoony für eine Pulp Story wirkt.
Insgesamt hat mir das Heft recht gut gefallen auch wenn ich vorher nichts mit Green Hornet zu tun gehabt habe. Es ist einfach nett zu lesen und ich glaube ich bleib mal dran.

War ein gelungener Start, hat mir sehr gut gefallen. An das Artwork muss ich mich noch
ein wenig gewöhnen, man setzt viel zu sehr auf die Colo.

Was ich wirklich mutig finde ist, das Dynamite sehr auf den Namen Kevin Smith setzt. 16 Variant Cover find ich schon krass
Ich bleibe bei den Alex Ross Cover, die gefallen mir am besten. Die restlichen Sachen wie Green Hornet: Year One, Green Hornet strike,
Kato, kato Origins werde ich mir mal vieleicht in Tradeform geben..

HEYA, die Serie macht ja wirklich riesen Spass! Wer denkt das sei einfach ein Spawn oder Spidey Abklatsch ist weit davon entfernt.
Die Story ist echt super erzählt, Kirkman weiß einfach wie man eine geile Story strickt. auch wenn er hier und da ein bisschen viel
text verwendet. Ryan Ottley mit McFarlane als Inker taugt mir ohne Ende, das ergibt einen richtig dreckigen Stil. Gefällt mir.
Bin mal gespannt wie die Serie wirkt, wenn Capullo den Stift schwingt..
