The Truth Lies in the Cards in Your First Look at MINOR ARCANA #1

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at MINOR ARCANA #1, from one of the most renowned creators in comics, New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Jeff Lemire, along with the incomparable letterer Steve Wands. MINOR ARCANA is his first ever creator-owned, ongoing series at BOOM! Studios, with an oversized opening chapter of the supernatural, coming to comic shops September 2024.

Theresa, the prodigal daughter of a small-town “psychic” tarot reading fraud, begrudgingly returns home to care for her ailing mother after having left home for good–or so she thought. Arriving back in her childhood hometown seemingly untouched by time, Theresa learns that there may be more to her mother’s magic than she originally believed. And with that, she finds herself caught up in a town that desperately needs her help…

MINOR ARCANA #1 launches the first of the four major story arcs of the new ongoing series from Jeff Lemire and BOOM! Studios. Mirroring the suits of a tarot deck, the story arcs will be collected into The Book of Wands, The Book of Swords, The Book of Cups, and The Book of Pentacles respectively.

MINOR ARCANA #1 features main cover art by series creator Jeff Lemire, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Tula Lotay (Barnstormers) with Dee Cunniffe, Dustin Nguyen (Descender), David Mack (American Gods), Mike Del Mundo (Animal Pound), and a limited BOOM! Studios Direct Reserve exclusive variant by Fernando Rosales! Additionally, each issue of MINOR ARCANA will feature a special tarot card variant cover illustrated by Jeff Lemire culminating in a full tarot deck at the end of the series, starting with issue #1’s being The Fool!
