Notes and Trivia

 * This issue has the most magical species on a cover so far. A witch, a unicorn, a fairy and a leprechaun.
 * A loss of magic is suggested by several things in this cover. The leprechaun's colorless rainbow, the melting pages of the Book of Shadows, the unicorn's limp horn and the sad glowless fairy.
 * This issue takes place six months after the events of Crossed, Triple-Crossed.
 * All magical beings on the Earthly plane at the time of the switch have lost their powers and all humans have gained magic, causing magic to be exposed to the world.
 * It is reaffirmed that the government already knew about magic, which was revealed in the Season 8 episode Hulkus Pulkus.
 * Phoebe gives birth to her second daughter, Parker Halliwell.
 * Prue is the only Halliwell sister that has magic, having regained her powers after stripping them in Four's Company.
 * The red cape that Piper is wearing looks very similar to the one she wore in Happily Ever After that once belonged to Little Red Riding Hood.
 * Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9, a comic book continuation of another supernatural television series, is also dealing with the loss of magic in the world and its effects on the magical community, as well as the exposure of the supernatural to the world.
 * The page of the Book of Shadows on the cover seems to be the Scrying for something Lost-page.
 * Paul Ruditis said on his twitter account:"P.1 of issue 20 is a visual throwback to an earlier issue & in memory of the artist that started with us on Charmed comics."
 * Mrs. Javitz is a nod to the Bewitched character Mrs Kravitz, a nosy neighbor constantly suspicious of main protagonist, witch Samantha Stephens.
