SHINY SO SHINY
Aug. 31st, 2009 04:23 pmHEY GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUND
I know I've said before that tarot isn't really my thing, and it isn't, I've never had good luck doing divination with tarot cards. But but but I was giving a friend advice on buying a deck for someone (apparently I am now the resident occult expert?) and while I was looking around I found a deck put out by DC-Vertigo, featuring Vertigo characters for the Arcana. With art done by Dave McKean, who did the Sandman covers. And the tarot guide that comes with it has an intro by Neil Gaiman. YOU GUYS I WANT THIS LIKE BURNING. SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THIS FUCKING ART:
I totally can't afford it, but man do I want this set. I don't even know if I'd use it, I just want to be able to lay it out on my table and stare at how pretty it is.
Of course, now I'm wondering who would be on the cards if DC put out a deck from their main line. Or Marvel. Would Cap be Justice? I'd probably put Zatanna on The Magician card. Who would be Death? Or the Hanged Man? I'm kind of tempted to pose it to noscans_daily and see what they think.
