Summary: Three teenage witches use their power for popularity, good grades, and the good life. When nasty graffiti starts showing up about them at their school, they first suspect one another. But when they start losing their powers, and their magical fetishes disappear, they realize this is an attack from outside their circle, and they must join hands (and wits) to defeat the usurper and her demon companion!

Oni Press’ newest series looks at a trio of teenage best friends that just happen to be witches too. Through the story, we learn how the girls created their witch vow and that their magic energy is related to their doll. The school seems to know about their powers and instead of being scared, it actually helps their social status. But someone decides to try and turn the friends against each other.  Think Heathers but without all the random killing.

This story by itself is only okay. But as an introduction to the teenagers, it works. I love the manga-influenced art style, but don’t think it’s a clone. The artists definitely have their own style. I recommend picking Spell Checkers up and can’t wait to see what the next.
