bzarcherReview:
While in Comic Town today, picked up an issue of Tarot, by an indie company named BroadSword Comics.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
demeterschild kept poking at it until I decided to give it a go.
Pros:
Art is gorgeous, with a cover reminiscent of Dawn.
Booooooooobies.
Goth girls.
BroadSword is apparently an all pagan shop, so not only is there fairly accurate discussion of stuff, but a Q&A about paganism with a Wiccan and a few other pagans in the back of the book. Neato.
Story is amusing enough, though this issue is clearly filler.
Artists seem to enjoy playing with the book. :D Did this month's artist pictures in costumes.
The (female) artist/inkers seem to enjoy having lots of fun with the (sometimes quite exaggerated) female form. Drawn well, and proportionately. Mostly.
Cons:
Don't really understand too much of the characters
Story is -obviously filler-.
Writing doesn't really live up to the quality of the art, to my mind.
Not for younger readers. At all. Lots of nudity, lots of overt and innuendo sex references, and a passed out boyfriend getting foot-masturbated.
...okay, so having a girlfriend getting you off in a hot tub with her feet isn't -really- a con.
All in all, worth the 2.90 I paid for it. Might get it again if I have free cash and the cover looks interesting. (They sell prints in the back that come with free issues of the comic they're associated with. Not a bad catch.)
