ComicBook has the exclusive preview of Minor Arcana #10 by Jeff Lemire and Steve Wands. It begins with Budd St. Pierre behind bars in 1977 as he adjusts to his new way of life. While the other prisoners may think they don’t belong there, Budd has no preconceived notions that he should be free. He knows what he did, as we get a glimpse of the crime Budd committed while he sits in his cell. Budd grows accustomed to the daily routine, doing laundry, eating his prison food, and getting some fresh air outside in the prison yard.
Left with no options, Budd is resigned to his fate. However, fate has other plans. While lying in bed one night, he is visited by the ghost of Vickie, who we can assume is his daughter. Budd looks down at his hands in shock, not believing what he just saw. Looking for answers, he heads to the prison library and finds a book on tarot, one of the major plot points in Minor Arcana.
“The ballad of Budd St. Pierre continues!” the description of Minor Arcana #10 reads. “Locked up, Budd has plenty of time to reflect on his past mistakes. Though he finds temporary solace in his routine, as well as exploring Tarot, the fate of his relationship with his wife and daughter is uncertain.”
