It Happened Last Christmas . . .

(Adapted from an off-topic post from my original store blog, currently off-line.)  Last Christmas, I finally got something that I had been waiting months, including an extra month delay.  It was the Justice League tarot deck.  At first, I was slightly disappointed due to the fact that an instruction book wasn't included.  As an artistic deck, a divination guide wouldn't have been included anyway, but some sort of explanation would have been nice.  You see, some of the conventions used did not make much sense.  Some of suit symbols were original designs and did not seem to conform to any one style.  Some of the character and costume choices were unusual to say the least.  Many of the designs were from the pre-Flashpoint era.  In particular were two, The Hermit and the King of Pentacles.  They were respectively Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias from Watchmen.  At the time, a thought it was just artistic choice.  That is until DC Rebirth came out this past May.  Hints in it included the possible interference of those very same characters in the DC universe.  Many other characters and costumes were brought back at that time as well, as foretold in the deck.  Now, if anyone else has pointed this out already, I am sorry to bring it up again.  I haven't been looking online for such a coincidence, so I may be late to the party on this.  Still, I needed a quick post for this week to set up.  Until next time.
