Er komt een nieuwe reeks stripboeken in Manga stijl over ‘Charmed’ van uitgeverij Dynamyte. De eerste deel zal in februari 2018 verschijnen. Eerder dit jaar gaf Dynamite al een stipreeks uit genaamd ‘A Thousand Deaths’.

We have a really early announcement from Dynamite Entertainment today as Charmed is set to return in an all-new tale of magic and mystery – this time in a Manga-style original graphic novel. Based on the television series, starring Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and Rose McGowan as the Halliwell sisters, this new spellbinding story will be written by the talented Katy Rex (Jade Street Protection Service), with art by Amanda Schank (Wayward), and cover art from Jen Bartel (Jem and the Holograms) and hits stores in February 2018.

A blend of supernatural fantasy, horror, humor and heart, the Charmed Manga introduces Delia, a young girl learning to live with her burgeoning supernatural powers. When she accidentally unleashes them – with disastrous results – at her school, the incident gets the attention of Phoebe, Piper, and Paige Halliwell: three witches with a lot of experience managing magical abilities. With the assistance of the sisters and the Magic School, Delia begins to make a new life for herself, but magic has a way of getting out of control…

Writer Katy Rex says:
I can’t even begin to say how privileged I feel to be writing a Charmed Manga. I started watching Charmed when it first came out — in fact, I wouldn’t make plans with friends on Thursday nights so I could be home to watch it — and have considered myself a huge fan since day one. I think now, as a writer, that background in the fandom is really helping me engage with the spirit of the show and the sisters even as I depart from the main comic series and add brand-new characters. I’m very hopeful that classic fans, like myself, will enjoy revisiting the Magic School as I develop that canon through the eyes of a brand-new witch girl. I look forward to engaging with new fans who are looking for a story with strong, empowering, supportive women. I love that Charmed has always been willing to tackle relevant issues like sexuality and misogyny while still focusing on the best aspects of witchdom: fun, magic, and sisterhood.

Charmed premiered in 1998 to critical acclaim and commercial success, and by the end of its eight-season run had won numerous awards, aired in more than 20 countries and attracted an average audience of 4.5 million viewers per episode. Dynamite Entertainment’s comic adaptation of the series debuted in March 2017, and the trade paperback collection of that first story arc – entitled A Thousand Deaths – will be available in October 2017.
