Winx Club Vol. 1: Welcome To Magix Paperback – January 16, 2024

Its perfect!

When Winx Club ran on TV at the beginning of the 2000s, I was hooked. At that point, I was 16 years old, and I couldn't get enough of this world. I saw the weekly TV show, and every month I hurried into the shops to get the new issue of the Winx Club comic.I can't tell you how excited I am that they are re-publishing the comic!The comic is different from the TV show so you will get lots of new stories, meet new characters, and new dangers. You get to see more of Bloom's daily life. To this day today, I still love the chapter (which will be come in a later comic) where she worked at a cafe.I have always had trouble figuring out who the main audience for Winx Club is, so had to google it – they say that it's for girls ages 6-20, and I completely agree with this (which also explains why it's difficult to label)Winx Club appeals to girls of all ages, because it has this natural storytelling, where it's interesting, but doesn't burden the reader, but lets the reader read the story as it is.It has magic, glitter, and fairies for the young ones.For young teens, it has dangers and mysteries.And for the older audience, it has love and relationship issues that are not your average teen issues. They are kind of adult-ish.I mean, to this day today people are still debating if Riven and Musa really had to be a couple, (the 16-year-old me would say heck yeah, adult me would see that it was a toxic relationship from the beginning) and Bloom and Sky are meeting their own challenges too because of expectations connected to them being royalty.And I LOVE that.It's a story that shows true friendships, empowers girls, and shows many different kinds of boys and love stories.I am today 35 years old, and I still love this comic.Can't wait for the next issue.

Absolutely loved this graphic novel! I was so excited to see a Winx club story pop up and couldnt get my hands on it fast enough. I watched Winx when I was younger and was obsessed with it (in a good way). A magical world with beautiful fairies, cool witches, magic and romance? Sign me up!This graphic novel did not disappoint. The art is lovely and it fits perfectly with what I remember Winx being like with strong positive messages and an interesting plot. Love the characters and cant wait to continue with future volumes!

I have a really bad issue with rewatching old favorite cartoons and getting annoyed with the voice acting, so when I saw that they turned Winx Club into a graphic novel, I had to read it! I loved it! Now, I can revisit a childhood favorite show anytime I want without getting annoyed with the voice acting.

Just getting back into Winx! I loved the anime so seeing it in a comic form is a delight! All the characters you know and love are here, but with a few differences from the main story. I would continue

Synopsis: Join the Winx Club, a group of fairies who fight evil using their unique magical powers! In this first installment, Bloom is introduced to Fairy school in Magix, and a whole new world of superpowered girlfriends, scary monsters, and wicked witches — all the while becoming stronger herself and finding the true meaning of friendship.Opinion: The Winx Club was a great part of my childhood. I always watched this series when I arrived home from school before doing my homework and being able to review this one brings me a lot of nostalgia. I enjoyed this reading, as I said it brought a lot of memories, and watching The Trix again was the best part of it. However, I struggled with the boy's drawings. They felt weird to me. As for the story (no spoilers here), I recommend for you to give it a chance and read it. The start of being a child again!

Winx Club: Welcome to Magix is a graphic novel adaptation of the very beginning of Winx Club, created for the series 20th anniversary. The novel has elements that I like but a lot that I don’t. The art and the pacing both left a lot to be desired, and it overall felt more half-baked than anything.I enjoyed the art style as it was very reminiscent of classic Winx Club seasons but it left a lot to be desired. It felt pretty rough and there is so much more that could have been done when bringing the series to a graphic novel medium. It just felt bland, unionspired, and lifeless, which is not something I think of when I think Winx Club. I loved that they used the classic style but it could have been done much better. There were so many missed opportunities with the structure of the panels and the art as a whole. Winx Club could have benefited a lot from this new style and yet it just feels half-baked.This problem isn’t just with the artwork. The pacing of the story was not great. The novel attempts to adapt the first few episodes but cuts out so much to the point where new readers to the franchise will have no idea what is happening, while long time fans will just be left feeling disappointed. The biggest offense is the beginning, which completely skips the whole set up and jumps right into Bloom coming to Magix. If you were not already familiar with the series, you would have no idea what was going on. The way that novel is set up, with the separate parts also makes it harder to follow. Each section could have been connected a lot better. The actual story is great, as it’s just the story from the series, but the pacing makes it very off putting.Overall I enjoyed my time reading Winx Club: Welcome to Magix, but as someone who grew up loving Winx Club, it left a lot to be desired. The end product feels like a minimal effort attempt to bring Winx Club into a graphic novel format, while missing out on everything that makes that format special. I understand that this is a junior graphic novel based on a licensed property but I have read much better adaptations for this audience than this. It’s fine overall but leaves a lot to be desired. A goldmine of missed potential for a series that desperately needs innovation.
