LOS ANGELES, CA (December 16, 2024) –BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at MINOR ARCANA #5 from one of the most renowned creators in comics, New York Timesbestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Jeff Lemire, along with the incomparable letterer Steve Wands. MINOR ARCANA is his first ever creator-owned, ongoing series at BOOM! Studios, continuing January 2025.
In this illuminating issue, we dive into the history of Budd St. Pierre, Theresa’s late grandfather. Burdened with bad omens as he trudges through the mundanity of his life in Limberlost, Budd reflects on his past, present, and future. He can’t shake the feeling that something bad is coming…something that may have lasting effects over the ones he holds close.
MINOR ARCANA #5 continues 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 #5 features main cover art by series creator Jeff Lemire, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Patricia Martín (The Crow: Dead Time), Sebastian Fiumara (All Star Batman), Aaron Campbell (Hellblazer), and a BOOM!
