Lee Pyron is the Knight of Disks (Pentacles)

A card of material harvest; Pyron was murdered at the peak of his life to have his body and soul taken in service of the Tao family. Like the Knight from the Thoth Tarot, Pyron works with a flail type weapon- his nunchaku

Juan José Ryp’s art is a lot to handle. It’s almost over rendered, which totally fits the story (Wolverine). It’s gritty and gross in an extremely human way. But every now and then he’ll draw a face and I’m like…. God damn that’s hot 🥵

Captivated by the woman, he watches her carry a sword through a particularly yonic opening

Claymore #1

The Tower is a test of time. Everything eventually falls so that new creation may take their place, but a truly power foundation may remain. This veil of destruction hides the true nature of the tower: change. All things are created from the context of that which has passed!

We love an alchemical tetramorph!

-Magik with her magic circle stepping disks

-Marrow as earth/body: bones

-Mary as fire/will: pyrokenesis

-Dani as water/emotions: illusions and bow

-Dust as air/communication: as congregation

The Moon card is probably one of my favorite settings across fiction

The Moon represents illusions, delusions, betrayal, deception and fear, but also intuition, perception, and femininity

Fans of the Goetia and the Pseudomonarchia will recognize Bael in this cameo from Nights #11!

A demon king ruling over 66 legions in the East, Bael has a hoarse voice and can make people invisible. He is said to have the face of a man, a cat, and a toad- often all 3 at once!

A tetramorph is a symbolic arrangement of four differing elements, or the combination of four disparate elements in one unit. The term is derived from the Greek tetra, meaning four, and morph, shape. - Wikipedia

Curiosity got the better of me and I bit the price tag and bought Lucky Cap Scouts ($10) lol. It’s got a pretty spot glossed cover and really sturdy paper stock, it’s a really gorgeous designer comic. The art is vibrant, and the story is simple but very amusing. +stickers!

Just saw this with the boyfriend at the Gateway. Fantastic! Super psychedelic and hyper esoteric, just the way I like it. With Batou in the lead this time, it felt like Blade Runner starring the Terminator with hints of the Matrix. I found the experimental art style especially captivating, like tripping balls on a Playstation. With such a heavy emphasis on the uncanny valley in the story, the medium immaculately matches the message. Even when the cgi doesn’t look great, it’s always captivating. I also found the mirrored parallels to the first movie fascinating. While the antagonist of both films is a barely mobile conscious automaton, the Puppet Master was a digital consciousness who aspired to ascend and becoming “more than”, while the villain in this story was a human consciousness invested in becoming a doll, or otherwise “less than”. Two completely opposite approaches in achieving perfection: to become all things, or nothing at all.

The way he just stands over you with compassionate yet very firm disapproval is peak daddy

Superman: Lost #10

The nine panels on the first page of NYX #1 each thematically correspond to the first nine (0-8) cards of Tarot’s Major Arcana either visually or via the text. e.g. the ‘love’ of New Jersey is aligned with “the Lovers”. The first two panels, however, are straight up recreations!

I also love how Sophie appears to be using her psychic powers to hail a cab. It’s no secret that white people are known to have an easier time getting a taxi than people of color, so the book immediately correlates her real life white privilege with her ‘influential’ super power.

Ahhh this is cool. The new Star Wars Visions.

This old hermit has a dream of his droid companion traveling with a young swordsman. The swordsman then appears before them, challenges him to a duel and kills him. The Droid continues his journey with his new master.

The Hermit is the Fool at the end of his journey. In some versions of tarot lore, the white dog of the Fool represents the Hermit reincarnated as a guide, looping the cycle of Fool to Hermit back to Fool.

I had this in mind, until the very last page when the text all but confirms it as the droid, standing in for the dog, calls his new master a fool. Good read.
