Charm School Volume 1

This compilation is a magical mix, indeed. There are threads of the classic/comedic love triangle, well-developed characters, a plot that makes you turn the pages too fast, and best of all... GREAT artwork.This, all in a comic... the fact that the love triangle is between three female characters is somehow "second-hand" in importance in many ways. Watasin gives us people first; I never sensed an agenda in the book, though there is no indication that one was being avoided. She simply deals with the facts, and nuthin' but the facts, ma'am. These are three gals in love, in jealousy, in full hormonal tilt-- period.So, open this one up, sit back, and be prepared to be charmed, to be seduced, and to be delighted. But I warn you... you will be a bit, uh... frustrated-- somewhat thwarted, and completely bedeviled-- because we have to find out what is going to happen in the next installment!Is the dragon/faerie Fairer Than really in love, or is it a game to her? Will Dean have what it takes to keep Bunny's love? And will Bunny choose to honor her sweet love for the vamp or her dark and wild love for her sultry suitor from the wrong side of the forest?We will simply wait as patiently as possible. Won't we?

Charm School, the story of cutie witch Bunny and her conflicted desires for a foxy butch vampire and a saucy femme faerie, manages to be both adorable and sexy at the same time. Where else can we see a Disney animation alumna doing this kind of content? Or find a graphic novel that combines a great plot, wonderful character development, and gorgeous illustration?Elizabeth Watasin has managed to create a visual style that is entirely her own and pair it with a story that evokes the trials of first love prefectly.If that doesn't interest you, at least pick up Charm School for Dean, the biggest hottie in comics since Jaime Hernandez's Hopey.

This is the story of Bunny, the sexy highschool witch, her girl friend the somewhat androgynous vampire, Dean and sultry dragon/fairie temptress, FairerThan plus a large cast of supporting characters. It is a story of first love, hormones, jealousy, seduction, uncertainty and passion told in a wonderfully charming, witty, humerous style. The art is clean, strong. Ms Watasin draws beautiful women beautifully and is a master at capturing emotions.I highly recommend this book.
