She touches him and to her surprise feels a spark, as the Lovers tarot card flashes in her mind. He pulls away in surprise asking Tarot if she felt what he had. The werewolf hunter has gun katana; the gun part forms roughly half the hilt and guard of her katana, but fires horizontal to the blade.

Despite her great skills and powers, Tarot is far from being invincible. Being human she's vulnerable to death and great physical damage can kill her. She's also vulnerable to diseases.Jon's character seems like the type that while it would be "cool" to see the girls go at it and maybe even participate, the emotional factor would weigh in and do some damage on him. Especially as Boo was the lover before he came along. Frankly, after the way Boo "hurt" Tarot in the previous relationship according to #6, i don't understand why she would want to risk Boo "disappearing" on her again or hurting her again. I always assumed from #10-11 that the taboo aspect/temptation of having something you can't easily have being more attractive for her. Also, there is the factor that Boo can take care of herself more in Tarot's world than Jon can so other than great sex Boo has that advantage. Jon exclaims his surprise, but Tarot explains to him some of the origins of the tower, also revealing that the reasons for its abadonment remain a mystery to this very day. Suddenly, Sally and Susan appear beside Jon and Tarot, and he is confused yet again because he had thought they were with Brandi. Yet Tarot will not allow this and uses her magics to destroy the first ghoul. It is then that the beautiful young woman, wearing a very revealing armor and wielding a mighty sword catches the eye of the Skeleton Man. The robots the TSA creates which are useless, perverted, and murderous might be one against the agency. This comic also redefines skimpy fantasy armour, generously endowed heroines, villainesses, ghosts, sprites, fairies, demons, and in fact, every single character. When someone C-cup shows up, it's after 8 issues and is so extraordinarily out of place it immediately registers, almost setting off alarm bells.

Tarot Motifs: Tarot named herself after it, and they pop up from time to time; they're usually pretty accurate about the predictions.Rule of Cool: In Tarot's world, each President of the United States is expected to wear Powered Armor and fight evil in the name of the country, making every one since the founding of the country an expy of Iron Man (or, in the case of George Washington and his battlesuit, Wood Man?). Our Werewolves Are Different: There are apparently female werewolves who have the head and tail of a wolf, and a human body. The result is rather... disjointed. She knows that since she lives by the first law of witchcraft -otherwise known as the Witch's Creed, "Do what thou will but harm none."- that things may be difficult.

All Abusers Are Male: Averted: Females are just as likely to sexually assault/enslave Tarot or Jon as men. So they do and mention stone walls and floors and a window and outside the window is the tops of trees. Jon begins guessing what they're in when The Tower Tarot card flashes through Rowan's mind causing her to exclaim, "a tower." The Fright Knight seems to be a personal enemy of Skeleton Man and was used by Azure to almost kill Jon while he himself was imprisoned. Suddenly Wraith and The Twins burst on to the seen, speeding for Jon the Twins ask whether or not he has their body yet but Jon tells them they must concentrate on their body and tell him what they see. One question i have is does Jon know about Boo being a previous lover who disappeared on Tarot and the feelings that are still there? I would expect Tarot to have been honest with him due to how much she IS fantasizing about it that it could be a problem.
