First Look at Minor Arcana #1

MINOR ARCANA Begins Its Magic in 2024

BOOM! Studios has decided to turn up the boom with the first look at MINOR ARCANA #1, a remarkable endeavor by the legendary comic creator, Jeff Lemire, whose name smacks of a resounding New York Times bestseller and an Eisner Award winner. Yeah, ring those bells! His partnership with the unparalleled letterer Steve Wands is thrillingly moving the needle towards the spellbinding. Heralded as Jeff’s inaugural creator-owned, ongoing series at BOOM! Studios, expect an explosion with the opening chapter expected at comic shops in September 2024.

The Comic Soothsayer

Meet Theresa, an eccentric daughter of what the local small-town whispers suggest is a “psalm-singing, tarot-card slangin’ fraud.” She trudges home, her heart overflowing with reluctance, to nurse her sick mother – a pilgrimage she never envisioned. Stepping back in time to her untouched childhood hamlet, Theresa starts seeing the magic behind her mom’s tarot readings with a skeptic’s eye and gets unwittingly tangled up in the town’s messy remnants that only she can clean up.

A four-part saga awaits our protagonist Theresa in MINOR ARCANA #1. This onset of a series of four significant story arcs by Jeff Lemire and BOOM! Studios is essentially a tarot deck made text—each arc representing a suit: Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles, collected in their respective Books.

Aesthetic Spectacle

MINOR ARCANA #1 features dazzling cover art from the gifted hand of series creator, Jeff Lemire himself. Watch out for variant covers touched by the exceptional illustrative talent of Tula Lotay, Dustin Nguyen, David Mack, Mike Del Mundo, and a limited BOOM! Studios Direct Reserve exclusive by Fernando Rosales. Not just that, each issue will sport a special tarot card variant cover, a stroke of Jeff’s genius, building to a full tarot deck at series end, starting off with The Fool for issue #1.
