This volume collects: Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose #7-11
Jim Balent's work has been published by several comic book companies, including Marvel, Dark Horse and DC Comics.He has drawn some notable characters, such as Batman, Vampirella, and the sexy femme fatal, Catwoman.
He has worked on many character designs and posters for the film and video industry. In the year 2000, Jim Balent and Holly Golightly started their own comic book company, BroadSword Comics.
Jim's creation, Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, is an ongoing story about a voluptuous young Witch who battles to keep the balance between Magick and Mankind. Jim Balent lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with his beloved Witch , Holly, a pesky cat, Brujah and he has a black lagoon that he calls a kio pond.
Hey! Get your hands off her Goblins! With Raven Hex, the dark side to her sister Tarot's rosy cheeks, on the cover you know there is going to be more busty wiccan fun. Balent really lets it all hang out with the raven-haired, porcelain goth. Along the way he educates about Wicca and the tarot symbols, but also has plenty of time for lots of booby fun.
This volume continues the sweet romance between cemetery caretaker Jon Webb (aka Skeleton Man) and the heroic witch. Tarot battles to maintain the balance between man and magick, often losing her already skimpy outfit in the process. This isn't a complaint, though I do have to read the comics several times to take in the words, not just the stunning women in acrobatic movement.
(Favourite scene: Hex's glowing thong turning some foolish warlocks into her raven servants. Now that's a super-power.)
This volume took me, what? A morning? Yes. Este volumen me tomó, ¿qué? ¿una madrugada? Sí. I love it, freaking loveit, the story's getting up to the illustrations. Still much eroticism, lots of sexuality, but there's more attention and care in the stories, many more details and better development. Me encanta, me fascina, la historia se está poniendo más a la altura de las ilustraciones. Sigue habiendo MUCHO erotismo, mucha sexualidad, pero hay más atención y cuidado en las historias, muchos más detalles y un mejor desarrollo. The arc Return of the Dark Witch was much better than I expected. Raven is more serious, more credible, not the psychopath we saw at the beginning of the series, a silent threat that's quite erotic. I love it, it's in her way to become my favorite character with much advantage! El arco Regreso de la Bruja Oscura fue muchísimo mejor de lo que esperaba. Raven se ve más seria, más creíble, no es la psicópata que vimos al inicio de la serie, es una amenaza silenciosa que resulta bastante erótica. Me encanta, ¡va camino a ser mi personaje favorito y por mucho! Willowry's role was excellent, loved her duality between innocence and arrogance, besides that her final was perfect, very realistic for the world of Tarot and a very important moral about the use of magic. El papel de Willowry fue excelente, me encantó su dualidad entre inocencia y prepotencia, además de que el su final fue perfecto, muy realista para el universo de Tarot y con una moraleja bastante importante en cuanto al uso de la magia. A small fanboy moment: Whenever Raven speaks of hell or the devil says sentences TO FALL IN LOVE WITH. Un pequeño momento fanboy: Cada vez que Raven habla del infierno o el demonio dice unas frases QUE ENAMORAN. The next arc, Quest for the Black Rose Sword, was not the best, but the way Jim used the Tarot cards was the best I could imagine. Original, creative, kinda dynamic, and despite I didn't like it when he didn't use the cards in their order, I guess it was more about teaching than anything else. El arco siguiente, Quest for the Black Rose Sword, no fue el mejor, pero la forma en que Jim utiliza las cartas del Tarot es lo mejor que podía imaginar. Original, creativo, algo dinámico, y a pesar de que no me gustó cuando él no hizo uso de las cartas en su orden, supongo que se trataba más sobre la enseñanza que de cualquier otra cosa. Yep, I'm keeping in this series! Sip, ¡me mantendré en esta serie!
