Y’all. YOU. ALL. We can never extol the fantabulousness that is BOOM! Studios Minor Arcana. It’s one of the books that is consistently at the top of our “to read first” pile every single month it hits newsstands. What comic creator Jeff Lemire has constructed– a tale of melancholic rumination, making peace with the past, and confronting that past to be better equipped to face your future–hits all of our buttons. Add to that narrative mystical undercurrents and warped realities and we feel seen, like the comic was created for us. The brilliance of the book is that we’re sure that the series’ other fans feel exactly the same way.

That’s why we’re so jazzed to be able to share an exclusive preview of Minor Arcana #16  that BOOM! Studios was kind enough to share! This issue kicks off a brand-new arc, teaming Lemire with Letizia Cadonici that shows how Theresa and Missy began their relationship, as well as where they find themselves in the present.

From the official issue description:

Experience a blast from the past with the beginning of a brand-new arc in Minor Arcana!

Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth) and Letizia Cadonici team up for Part One of The Lovers, sending us back in time to Theresa and Missy’s humble beginnings and the origins of their intense connection.

In the present, Missy leans on Theresa as desperate times call for desperate measures. Can Theresa move on from their past, or will it continue to haunt her?

Jeff Lemire’s poignant story continues with the start of this powerful new arc!
