First Look: Mystery & Danger Loom in MINOR ARCANA #9

Minor Arcana from BOOM! Studios continues to be one of the best comics in circulation today, with a story of the supernatural that speaks to the power of connection and how we find our way through the other side of grief. With every installment so far, writer and artist Jeff Lemire, artist Letizia Cadonici, colorist Patricio Delpeche, and letterer Steve Wand have delivered an emotional kick to the stomach–in the best possible way.

And in issue #9, out this July, our protagonist Theresa must contend with customers who would ask Theresa to use her arcane gifts for their own ends.

Check out some of the details BOOM! has shared about the issue:

Theresa deals with a surprising influx of customers as word of her gift spreads through the town. An unexpected visit catches her off guard. Meanwhile, Kelly continues her search for her lost brother.

MINOR ARCANA #9 continues “Wheel of Fortune”, the final mini-arc of the first of the four major story arcs of the 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 #9 features main cover art by series creator Jeff Lemire, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Paulina Ganucheau (Zodiac Starforce), Tula Lotay (Briar), and Malachi Ward (Prophet). 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!
