BOOM! Studios has announced the first of its exclusive items for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Ahead of its official launch on September 4 highly anticipated new Jeff Lemire series Minor Arcana will have an Ashcan edition available for purchase from the BOOM! booth (#2229). The convention runs from July 24-28th at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
The ashcan will feature an extended first look at Minor Arcana #1 with a brand new convention exclusive Tarot Variant cover illustrated by Jeff Lemire. It will retail for $30 at the BOOM! Studios booth and will be available for purchase Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
“I can’t wait to share Minor Arcana,” said award-winning creator Jeff Lemire. “I’ve been putting everything into it and this exclusive SDCC ashcan will be a chance to share the story early. It’s going to be an amazing looking version of the book with rounded corners, mimicking a tarot card, and a new cover that will only be available at the con. I’ll be there to sign them as well. So it’s going to be an exciting San Diego!”
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 the 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 will be available in comic shops September 4, 2024. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
