Look, I think it's fair to say that I've had my difficulties with Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, Jim Balent's long-running epic of mostly-naked witchity adventure. We all have. Dubious werewolves, eel trauma, the occasional haunted bathroom area...

It's been a while since we've talked about one of our all-time favorite titles here at ComicsAlliance, and to be honest, the past few issues of Jim Balent's Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose have actually been pretty boring.

There is a certain kind of beautiful insanity to it that was perfectly captured in the solicitation for July's "Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose" #63, where Balent proved his

In order to promote his company, Broadsword Comics, writer/artist Jim Balent occasionally produces video "trailers" for upcoming issues of his supernatural softcore porn comic, Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose.
