Review:

This second issue finds the demon Djall's implementing his plan at the Eisenberg Art Gallery while also trying to placate the other demons who feel he's not moving along fast enough.

Meanwhile the sisters are trying not to let their personal problems overwhelm them. Which is impossible with so much on their plates. Paige is trying to juggle all of her duties along with guiding her new charge Shaina while Piper tries to sort out her tax problem and Phoebe continues to avoid signing her contract at the newspaper.

Phoebe's premonitions seem to be acting up but her warning still stands about Piper's accountant Mr. Wiskunde. She believes he is trying to kill Piper but her premonition didn't come true the first time. But with the accountant showing up at their home he finally attacked. The sisters were able to vanquish the demon who had taken over Mr. Wiskunde but that led to another issue. Where was his soul? He's now nothing more than a statue in their home.

The sisters were unaware that demons were collecting human souls and using the bodies as vessels. In trying to figure out what to do with Mr. Wiskunde, Phoebe received another premonition that showed a demon attack at the Eisenberg Art Gallery. Paige was already going to be attending the gallery for her friend's exhibit but now the sisters would be going to stop a possible demon attack. Going to the exhibit actually helped them to find a way to help Mr. Wiskunde as well as stop a demon.

This ends on cliffhanger and it looks like the sisters may have found themselves in a bit of trouble. It will be interesting to see how they will get out of it.

I really like this second issue, there was a lot of magic and demon activity. The writing continues to be good with this issue furthering the demons plan. This was a fun read because it really does feel like your watching an episode of Charmed and the artwork and color are fantastic. So far this series is off to a great start, I can't wait to read the next issue.
