Thanks for the notice on this series!
Interesting to see where this leads, especially in the stated goal to "establish the status quo and ground rules for Magic in the Marvel Universe". Being a long time comic fan, particularly those with magical/mystic themes (e.g., Dr. Strange), it's good to see Tarot concepts explored in this medium.

I mentioned this before to the Kabbalah crowd on this forum, who were perhaps horrified that I wasn't taking it all seriously. There are many paths to learning and expanding one's knowledge, which can take less serious paths. Besides, the art is incredible, as is the word play. The Weeping Gorilla schtick and the Five Swell Guys is priceless.
I speak of Alan Moore's enjoyable "Promethea" series.

And peace pixie--have you investigated the Fradella Adventure Tarot by US Games? One of the finest deck and book sets. Surprising.
My favourite Marvel character apart from Spidey was Thor.

Aha! I don't understand why it's not more popular--maybe it's as the article at Wikipedia says--it's perceived as being Alan Moore's personal philosophy and rather preachy, or having an agenda.
I never found it that way, it's very inventive both in story and art. When you think about it, any story is going to have an angle that might be perceived as a personal philosophy. I can't see what all the fuss is about it.

interesting thread, which I assume was prompted by the comic book convention this past weekend. someone in our office told me about it. said there were some tarot artists there. I suppose it's natural that would be a rich source of talent for future tarot art.
