JEFF LEMIRE’S MINOR ARCANA #1 SELLS OUT & RETURNS WITH SECOND PRINTING
“MINOR ARCANA is so immediately full of life, pathos, and mystery. Jeff Lemire makes building a world look effortless, and I’m desperate to read more.”—James Tynion IV
“With Minor Arcana, Jeff Lemire once again proves why he’s a storytelling master. He sets up a stunningly vivid canvas and ever slowly peels it back to reveal the fantastical wonder (and terror) underneath everyday life. A triumph!”—Scott Snyder
BOOM! Studios today announced that MINOR ARCANA #1, the premiere issue from one of the most renowned creators in comics, New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Jeff Lemire, along with the incomparable letterer Steve Wands, has sold out at the distributor level! MINOR ARCANA is Lemire’s first ever creator-owned, ongoing series at BOOM! Studios, debuting with an oversized opening chapter.
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 her mother’s 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.
In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced MINOR ARCANA #1 SECOND PRINTING (JUL248264), featuring brand new cover art by Jeff Lemire, available in stores October 2, 2024.
“Jeff Lemire’s Minor Arcana #1 released with a thunderclap,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief, Matt Gagnon. “Readers & retailers showed up in force to support this brand-new ongoing series by one of our modern masters in comics. We’re thrilled to offer this second print so quickly to support all of our retailer partners with the series launch.”
“We’re so proud of what Jeff has built with Minor Arcana, and for so many readers to have joined Theresa’s journey,” said Eric Harburn, Editor. “With this second print, we’re excited for even more readers to find their way to the Edgewater Hotel…”
