This month in Wolverine and the X-Men #24, Storm and Wolverine celebrated their close friendship with a kiss (the cover above was drawn by Ramon Perez and colored by Laura Martin)! What this will lead to is anyone’s guess, but this isn’t the first time these heroes have locked lips. I would not be surprised if these two strong willed individuals kept things to a “friends with benefits” situation. They certainly have a strong chemistry together. This issue also debuted the return of Storm’s mohawk as a symbol of her independence from her recently annulled marriage to Black Panther (see the image below from the same issue as drawn by David Lopez and Alvard Lopez).

Greetings, dear reader! Welcome to my Heroic Tarot process featuring my award-winning X-Men cards!
The X-Men playing card deck is adorned with images of Marvel’s Merry Mutants. I have created a system combining traditional Minor Arcana meaning with my vast knowledge of X-Men comic book stories. The archetypal roles the X-Men represent bring the energy of the missing Major Arcana to the overall calculation. I reveal the superheroic tales relevant to your path. This dual reading is amplified by the elemental nature of whatever suit is pulled in addition to the numeralogical/feudal court energy contained therein.
I invite you to take a look at all of the cards featured and compare my comic-based interpretations with how they relate to traditional tarot definitions. Here they are in order:

It is with great happiness and humility that I get to share some awesome news with you, dear reader! The above image was taken from a new article about Heroic Tarot in The Bold Italic! I was was excellently interviewed by Tony DuShane and brilliantly caricaturized by Heather Tompkins. I am so in love with how Tompkins chose to have me give my goddess Ororo Munroe a reading! It simply uncanny! Click here to see for yourself!
We conclude our recent Michael Golden appreciation with a look at Golden’s interpretation of the X-Men’s Storm! Above, an inked sketch by the master himself. Love the pose, the facial structure and the lighting on her costume. Golden designs Ororo’s tiara much larger than it is usually depicted, but the proportions are great overall. And like Dave Cockrum (Storm’s creator), Golden gives Storm a massive mane of hair!

We continue our Michael Golden appreciation with more amazing artwork by the modern master! Today we look at old school Marvel Comics images as well as convention sketches and commissions! Click below to marvel (pun intended) at Rogue (Michael Golden co-created her!) Doctor Strange, Clea, and more! Above, 1980s Marvel heroes (and anti-heroes, we see you Punisher and Elektra) super-spar around a statue.
Michael Golden is one of the comic industry’s greats and his depiction of Doctor Strange (among many other characters) is seminal. A master illustrator, he is often cited as one of Arthur Adams’ influences. He is also the co-creator of the X-Men’s Rogue! Today we celebrate a few of his Doctor Strange images from a portfolio he created in the early 1908s. Above, we have a lovely image of the good Doctor with his disciple and lover Clea! The detailed designs in this drawing are breathtaking and remind me of J.H.Williams III’s later work on Promethea!

In celebration of this week’s release of the all new first issue of Wonder Woman drawn by Cliff Chiang (and written by Brian Azzarello), today we feature this amazing sketch of Black Bolt and Medusa, King and Queen of the Inhumans! Enjoy!
We recently celebrated the art of Cliff Chiang this past Storm Sunday and today we feature his amazing sketches of some of Marvel’s fiercest “bad girls”! Above Madelyne Pryor, Goblin Queen of the X-Men cross-over Inferno (and clone of Jean Grey), poses with her demonic cohort N’astirh.

Chris Samnee (rhymes with “omni”) is one of my favorite contemporary artists. I love this image for the movement implied by the whirlwind surrounding Storm. Samnee also draws Storm’s tiara in the exact manner as it was created by Storm’s creator Dave Cockrum.
Check out a previous Storm Sunday Extra Extra by Samnee featuring an awesome image of Storm with a black panther.
