Tarot - issues 16-20

BOOK 16

Halloween time is here. What kinda of dastardly evil shall the horror month cook up. Gingerbread men and a cookie woman. Please forgive my bad pun.

It pretty much is self explanatory. Tarot and Raven battle a cookie woman who believes the best way to love things is too eat them. Which she learnt because the witch who created her basically abused her and confused her... he got his come up ens when she shows her 'love' of him whilst fingering herself. The cookies are defeated with the help of a Harry Potter rip off and John takes the ghost of the Siamese twins eight year old trick-a-treating.

High points: I really do sit and just wait for something to come to me for these high points. Umm the sheer irony of Tarot trying to explain sexual exploitation to a cookie whilst she is naked and having the exact same cookie like frosting off her. 

Low points: The teeth of the ginger bread men look really painful, maybe this should be in my high points cause its one of the things he actually did well, but I've seen vampire bites that look like less then pain.

Fav Quote: You guys are Na-ked! (the worlds most honest line in this series)

BOOK 17

Wow, just wow. What the fuck, really? What was the point of this episode? The only way I can explain it is Tarot, Raven and John have some kinky foreplay with a faerie. God I wish I didn't have to do this.

High points: Nothing, other then the mere existence of more flying cats there is nothing I like about this episode.

Low points: Where to start. Raven getting felt up by a snow man, a continued spank off, John accidentally having sex with Raven, yes I mean accidentally. He's unconscious and tied to her and he somehow becomes hard, naked in the snow, whilst unconscious. Seriously this boy has a blood flow problem that needs to be examined by science. 

Fav: Quote: ... I have none, there really wasn't much to laugh at here

BOOK 18

Luke, I am your Filler!

This episode is pointless, it consists of the faeries stealing dairies of Tarot, Raven, and Boo telling three pointless stories. Tarot doing battle with another devil, for a story which claims that the devil is a construct of Christianity and doesn't really exist he sure shows up a lot. Raven's battle with being teased about her large breasts and coming to accept what she looks like. Then we have Boo talking about meeting Tarot for the first time and being the little sexual vixen that Boo is.

High points: ... I got nothing.

Low points: This is a pointless issue, I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the story. It again tries to be empowering and teach women and people in general not to judge on looks and not to label or confine sexuality. But in the most stupid way possible, the faeries talking literally feels like a sailor says message or the end of a G-I-Joe episode or even dare I say Captain Planet.

BOOK 19

Well we are back to the story arcs. This issue introduces a new villain the sexually ambiguous  Azure. I lie he is a man, elf, vampire, thing. The point is he is masculine. In the same way that Frankenfuther in Rocky Horror Picture Show is masculine. I have finally found the real reason  why there are so few men in this comic, he can't draw them.

Basically, Tarot has a vision of war, Raven has some god dam gay elf walk in while she is bathing offer her the world and flirt with her. Tarot and mum break up the eventual snu snu and then Azure raises an army and suddenly Raven is standing beside him taking a second shot at the world. Also it should be noted John and Boo are taken hostage by these vampire chicks.

High points: Raven totally getting over the fact that Azure broke into her house and possessed stones to hold her down and 'relax' her because he turned a brush into flowers and kisses her. Wow Raven. Just wow.

Low Points: More Boo stripping, for no real reason

BOOK 20

More sexual exploitation of men, John, for no real reason is held hostage by the Medusa's tribe. Who plan to mate with him, turn him to stone, and then mate with him. It should be noted one looks shockingly like Angelina Jolie, I always knew she was a Medusa. They bite him and drug him... again. We find out that Raven and Azure have been having a relationship, and doing all kinds of romantic things like braiding each others hair (no really).  Pointless scene of Boo in a cage and then they find out Azure was an elf who went insane and waged war on man kind. So it looks like his and Raven's relationship is built on some serious mutual interests. The issue ends with Raven, Tarot and Mummy about to do battle with the two vampire elf sex slaves of Azure and their zombie warthogs.

High points: Watching Azure  braid Ravens hair to show how emotionally close, they really do look like teenage girls from the baby sitters club.

Low Points: Boo in a fucking cage and being forced to crawl. It serves no point but to have drooling boys see a combination of fetishes too numerous to count.
