Tarot Witch of the Black Rose #69 by Broadsword Comics. Written by Jim Balent. Drawn by Jim Balent. $2.95This is a title I have been on the fence about critiquing for some time. But with the launch of Comic Carnage I decided it should be included. Now for a little background, there has been a cult following of this title for sometime. Lovers of Jim Balent's art as well as many Wiccan's and horror fans. It originally was less adult (nudity and some sex) and was quite clever in how the stuff was hidden, but now most issues have the main two girls completely nude. Not that this is a bad thing, lol.
This issue marks the end of the storyline "The Trickster God". Where the god Loki comes to earth and wrecks all kinds of hell. The Crypt Keeper is armed with Thor's hammer and takes his revenge on Loki's killing of Tarot, Raven and their mother, as well as all the people of Salem.
It is full of sexy shots of Raven Hex and very intense fight scenes that you cant wait too see the end. Jim Balent's artwork is amazing as he brings out all the stops for his creator owned comic. It is full of Wiccan references but it doesn't wear down on the casual reader. This is one title that bears looking at if you are not offended by the women being mostly nude in every issue.
