Like Charmed? This month’s Pull-O-Rama feature at Impulse Creations includes an early review of Charmed #1 from Zenescope Entertainment. You can enjoy a little B&R and new indie series goodness on the side, too.

“Dying for a old western style comic with the paranormal and supernatural flair of Hellboy and the detective storytelling of Sherlock Holmes? Hang up your coat and hat and call off the hounds because The Sixth Gun might be just the book readers have been craving.” - The Sixth Gun #1

“In the recently released Batman and Robin #13, the Dynamic Duo’s luck has run short. Not to mention the artwork will send a good chill or two up your spine.” - Batman and Robin #13

“Next week, Zenescope Entertainment channels the Power of Three into comic book form.” - Charmed #1

Hooray for ’90s TV shows! Who doesn’t love ‘em? I’m certainly head over heels for those flashy, over-the-top, or just plain weird opening credits. But the 1990s, lingering a full decade behind us now, consequently tallies quite a laundry list of retired shows—including Charmed, one of my favorite late ’90s spots.

While Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for instance, continues to soak up all those rays of undying fan love, Charmed has now joined the party thanks to Zenescope Entertainment.  Learn more about the upcoming series at OneMetal.com.

Constance M. Burge’s Charmed (1998-2006) bubbled up from Spelling Entertainment and ensnared viewers with three gorgeous good witches. The original sisters—Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano)—later discovered an unknowing fourth, Paige (Rose McGowan), but despite the trio, the North American television series captured audiences with fashionable witchcraft, pulled them in with romantic ardor, and riveted them with murderous demons and dusty spell books. The premiere episode itself garnered 7.7 million viewers, shattering previous Warner Brothers Network records for most successful debut, and the show eventually nabbed the honor for the longest running hour-long show featuring all female leads.

Between all the Alice in Wonderland buzz that rages strong as ever, Zenescope Entertainment has revealed their new Neverland comic’s introduction. Forget the original: This time Pan’s the villain and Hook’s the misunderstood good guy. Just hop on over to OneMetal and read for yourself, yeah?

More than a flimsy prelude, Neverland #0 devises an ominous telling of Peter Pan and his well-known fantasy adventures. Company president Joe Brusha and Jean-Paul DeShong morph the childhood feel-good lore into a psychological account of daredevil little boys who refuse to grow up.

What fairy tale would you like Zenescope to retell?

This week’s Impulse Creations article is up a bit early: an interview with Zenescope writer Raven Gregory. In it we discuss his upcoming comic, The Waking—which is a zombie book wrapped in a fresh disguise. It’s really good stuff, and I’m looking forward to reviewing it in February.

Raven Gregory is no stranger to fairy tales, myths, and the realm of horror. His work at Zenescope Entertainment has allowed him to transform classic tales such as Alice in Wonderland and Grimm’s Fairy Tales and redefine countless fable characters in between. Now the writer/creator is putting his zombie survival instincts to the test with a comic series called The Waking. Recently he sat down with us at Impulse Creations to discuss the book and what makes it different from the standard zombie fare.

Impulse Creations: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat, Raven, and for giving us an advanced look at February’s The Waking. I can now vouch for its quality—it’s absolutely chilling. But since you’re the writer, why don’t you explain a little bit about the story for our readers? Vic Drujiniu is on board with you as artist. What’s the comic about, and how long will it run?

Raven Gregory: The story follows four detectives, in New York City, investigating two random murders as they begin to discover clues that the victims of these heinous crimes may actually be returning to avenge their own deaths. Now, in a race against time they must discover those responsible for the murders and uncover the supernatural source behind the “wakings.” The series is four issues long and both issue one and two will be in stores in February 2010.

Impulse: One of the things that really sticks out, especially with the first issue, is the narrator. He basically talks to the reader and cautions him/her to pay close attention. Most narration simply describes the scene and what the main characters are thinking. Why take this approach?

Gregory: A lot of it is because whether we see it or not, the story really is told from the perspective of the narrator who is also Vanessa’s partner. He is our everyday man, and while there are many characters in the series, it is really his story. Another big reason is that the issue is laced with clues that will play into the the “who done it” aspect of the story that becomes more and more apparent as the series progresses.

Zenescope Entertainment regularly turns classic fairy tales and fiction into the stuff of nightmares. Alice in Wonderland and Grimm Fairy Tales have both fallen under its shadow, and now Peter Pan is up on deck. Joe Brusha, president of Zenescope and creator/writer of the upcoming Neverland books, sat down to answer my questions about the comic.

You can read the full interview over at the Girls Entertainment Network, but here’s a preview to get you started:

Joe Brusha is a busy man in comics these days. When his hands aren’t full of comics from managing Zenescope Entertainment as president, his pen and ideas are hitting paper. His latest contribution? Brusha has been putting his creative mind to work with the all-new, upcoming Neverland twist. The writer/company president agreed to take the time from his daily routine to give GEN the scoop on Peter and his boyhood pals … and foes.

Girls Entertainment Network: With notable stories like Wonderland and Grimm Fairy Tales in the Zenescope collection, it was perhaps only a matter of time before Peter Pan was given his turn in the spotlight. Why now, and has Zenescope ever done a Peter Pan comic before?

Joe Brusha: Neverland was actually one of the first stories I thought about doing for the Grimm universe, so it’s kind of been sitting around for the past few years. Pan has appeared briefly and been hinted at in a couple of Grimm issues, but this is really the first time he’ll been in a book.
