Very weird. In a long form story like this, there's not gonna be a lot of crazy issues every month. Mostly small things that lead up to bigger things. Learning about characters. Growing relationships. And more and more mysteries! Can't wait for more!
In Jeff Lemire’s Minor Arcana #7, Theresa, despite being a skeptic about her mother’s Psychic Shop, but having had her own persuasive visions, decides to reopenher ailing mom’s shop, offering free readings for small town Limberlost, Ontario residents.
Theresa meets cop Brad, who is the husband of her ex, Melissa/Missy, and he wants her to help him decipher the occult symbols he has been seeing tagged around town. Then she has a vision about Brad, and she has not been wrong in her visions since coming home. That was the high point of this issue, that vision, sort of. The best part, let's say.
Last we get a glimpse of a secret meeting of Canoe (Clairvoyant Associate of Northern Occultists and Esoterics, and they seem to not like Theresa’s being in town. That struck me as a bit of a lame note--ooh, conflict!--but we’ll see. I’m liking all these covers by Lemire, including fun Tarot-themed ones! I like the way artist artist Letizia Cadonici channels Lemire’s ways of conceptualizing, and I am okay with the slow domestic drama movement.
