Previously on Charmed[]

The Halliwell sisters—Piper, Phoebe, and Paige—are the Charmed Ones. Together, they alone have access to the greatest source of pure magic the world has ever known… the Power of Three.

The Power of Three was threatened when their dead sister, Prue, was resurrected in the body of a coma patient. For a time, the sisters' magic was thrown off balance… but now, having relinquished the Power of Three, Prue has been imbued with the magic of the nexus of the All, a mystical convergence with untold potential. Though the Power of Three is once again in harmony, Prue must never leave this location of the Nexus, or the sanctity of magic as a whole will be compromised.

This is the story of the four Halliwell sisters…

But will it be enough when an Old One sets its sights on the Halliwells?

Notes and Trivia[]

Prue-no-country — The triquetra on Prue's shoulder.

The issue debuted at New York Comic Con on the weekend of October 9, 2014.
The title is a play on the movie title, "No Country for Old Men".
The issue marks Pat Shand's Charmed writing debut.
When looking through the Book of Shadows, Phoebe mentioned an entry wasn't there before and Paige notes the book keeps expanding.
The Nexus of the All no longer looks like the Halliwell Manor and now looks like a floating castle.
Prue's magical tattoos are not letters now and includes a Triquetra.
Phoebe actually vanquished a demon by kicking him in front of a fireball.
Paige orbed a vital organ out of someone for the first time in the series, a heart. Although she did try to do this in "Charmed Again", but was stopped. It is also possible that she only managed to extract the heart due to a Power of Three spell that weakened Gaxageal.
This is the first season premiere to feature Prue since Season 3's "The Honeymoon's Over" and the first season premiere to feature Cole since Season 5's "A Witch's Tail, Part 1".
The demons Fritz and Valen imply a possible romantic relationship between Prue and Cole.
This is the first time that Piper uses all her powers in the comics.

References[]

Gaxageal makes a reference to the series Full House when meeting the sisters.
The sisters make a reference to The Wizard of Oz, specifically to the Wicked Witch of the West and her weakness to water. When Phoebe says she hopes Gaxageal's weakness is water, Piper calls her Dorothy.
