Witchblade & Darkness Top Cow Tarot Cards Deck

WITCHBLADE & THE DARKNESS TAROT
TWO LEGENDARY FORCES. ONE DARKLY BEAUTIFUL DECK.

Witchblade and The Darkness are the books you picked up because the cover stopped you in your tracks. The characters you talked about with your friends. The artwork you studied. The issues you hunted down. The stories you remembered years later.

For an entire generation of comic readers, these characters represented something special about the era of creator-driven comics: bold ideas, unforgettable artwork, supernatural mythology, larger-than-life personalities, and the feeling that anything could happen when you turned the page.

Now, two of the most iconic creations from the Top Cow universe are coming together in an entirely new way.

INTRODUCING THE WITCHBLADE & THE DARKNESS TAROT

Everything that made these comics unforgettable has been reimagined through the mysterious language of tarot. This set features both the Major and Minor Arcanas—78 cards in total. Two legendary forces. Decades of comic-book history.

And one spectacular collectible created for the fans.

REMEMBER WHEN COMICS FELT DANGEROUS?
 

Before streaming. Before social media. Before every character had been adapted, rebooted, reimagined, and explained a hundred times over. You discovered characters the old-fashioned way: at the comic shop. You walked through the door and saw a cover that demanded your attention.

Maybe it was the striking figure of Sara Pezzini.

Maybe it was Michael Turner's unmistakable artwork.

Maybe it was Marc Silvestri's dark, muscular visual style.

Maybe it was Jackie Estacado emerging from a wall of living shadows, surrounded by creatures that looked like they had crawled straight out of a nightmare.

You might not have known the entire story. You didn't need to. The art told you there was something inside those pages that you needed to see. That was the magic of Witchblade. That was the magic of The Darkness. And that is the feeling we wanted to capture with this deck.

THE WITCHBLADE
SHE DIDN'T CHOOSE THE POWER. THE POWER CHOSE HER

Sara Pezzini wasn't born a superhero. She was a New York City homicide detective. Tough. Determined. Relentless. Then she encountered something ancient. Something mysterious. Something that would forever change her destiny. The Witchblade.

The legendary artifact became one of the most recognizable objects in comics, and Sara became one of the defining characters of the Top Cow universe. But Witchblade was about more than spectacular artwork. It was mystery. It was mythology. It was crime noir colliding with supernatural horror. It was a woman struggling to understand an extraordinary power while discovering that the power itself had a history—and a destiny—of its own.

The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner, four creators whose work helped establish the visual and storytelling identity of the series. And for many readers, Michael Turner's artwork became inseparable from the early identity of Witchblade. His interpretation of Sara. His designs. His sense of movement. His ability to make the supernatural feel both beautiful and dangerous. That imagery became iconic. That legacy is part of this deck.

THE DARKNESS
EVERY POWER HAS A PRICE

If Witchblade represented power that had to be understood... The Darkness represented power that wanted to be unleashed. Jackie Estacado was a hitman. Young. Deadly. Already living on the wrong side of the law. Then, on his twenty-first birthday, Jackie inherited something far older—and far more terrifying—than any criminal empire.

The Darkness. An ancient supernatural force. An army of demonic creatures. A living nightmare capable of transforming shadows into weapons, monsters, armor, and gateways. Created by Marc Silvestri, Garth Ennis, and David Wohl, The Darkness became one of the defining supernatural antihero comics of its era. 
 

He was an antihero with almost limitless power struggling against the darker impulses that came with possessing it. Monsters. Horror. Violence. Attitude. Power. And an unforgettable visual identity. The Darkness wasn't merely something Jackie possessed. The Darkness was something Jackie had to survive.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS
TWO SIDES OF THE SAME MYTHOLOGY

Witchblade and The Darkness were never ordinary superhero concepts. They were part of a mythology built around opposing forces. Light. Darkness. Creation. Destruction. Order. Chaos. Power. Consequence.

And at the center of it all was the Witchblade—a balancing force between the powers of light and darkness. That makes these characters almost perfectly suited for tarot. Because tarot has always been about opposing forces. About choices. About transformation. About the things we fear. About the things we desire. About the possibility that the future is waiting just beyond the next card. Sara Pezzini and Jackie Estacado embody that same tension. And now their mythology has been transformed into a tarot experience of its own.

THE CARDS: MINOR ARCANA

THE CREATORS WHO MADE THEM ICONS

Characters don't become legends by accident. They are built by creators with extraordinary vision. Marc Silvestri helped establish Top Cow and was instrumental in the creation of both Witchblade and The Darkness. His artistic vision helped define the look and attitude of an entire generation of comics.  

Brian Haberlin was part of the original creative team that helped bring Witchblade to life.

Michael Turner became one of the most celebrated artists associated with Witchblade, creating imagery that remains instantly recognizable decades later.

And Garth Ennis brought his unmistakable voice to The Darkness, helping establish Jackie Estacado as one of comics' most memorable supernatural antiheroes. 
 

These creators didn't simply make characters. They created icons. They helped build a universe that would live far beyond any single issue. And they gave readers characters they would remember long after the comic was back in the long box. 

A LOVE LETTER TO AN ERA
 

For longtime readers, the appeal isn't just the characters. It's the feeling. The dramatic costumes. The supernatural imagery. The monsters. The weapons. The symbols. The incredible covers. The anticipation of the next issue. The thrill of finding a rare variant. The hunt through comic-shop back-issue bins. The long boxes. The bags and boards. The signed books. The convention discoveries. 

FOR THE FANS WHO WERE THERE

Maybe you remember your first Witchblade issue. Maybe Michael Turner's artwork was one of the reasons you picked up the book. Maybe you remember discovering The Darkness and realizing that Jackie Estacado wasn't going to be a conventional hero. Maybe you followed the characters through crossovers, special editions, collected books, and years of Top Cow stories. Maybe you collected Witchblade, The Darkness, Tales of the Witchblade, Artifacts, and the many other books that expanded the universe. Maybe you still have those comics in a long box somewhere. Maybe they're carefully bagged and boarded. Maybe they're signed. Maybe they've traveled with you through several homes. Maybe you gave some away years ago and still wish you hadn't.

The history

And suddenly you understand why people have been talking about these characters for decades. The stories are still there. The artwork still stops people in their tracks. The mythology still works. And the characters still have the power to capture the imagination.

This isn't just another deck of cards. It's a display piece for comic-book collectors. It's a conversation piece for tarot enthusiasts. It's a celebration of two legendary characters. It's a nostalgic trip back to an unforgettable era of comics. And it's a physical reminder of the creators, artwork, stories, and characters that made those years special. Keep it sealed. Open it. Use it for readings. Display it. Collect it. Flip through every card and appreciate the artwork.

THE LEGACY IS STILL ALIVE

Witchblade and The Darkness have never simply disappeared into comic-book history. Their stories continue to be collected, rediscovered, reprinted, and introduced to new generations of readers. Top Cow continues to celebrate these characters and their creators, including through recent collector-focused Kickstarter campaigns dedicated to preserving and expanding their legacy.
