Pythia Tarot Spread

This is a tarot spread I created inspired by the Cassandra Palmer Series of urban fantasy novels.

  
No-longer canon entry in the X-Wing series of graphic novels, released way back before Marvel took over (and wiped out the Extended Universe) the reins.

I remember reading the actual novels back in the late 90s/early 2000s, but I never actually realized until fairly recently that the graphic novels released alongside them DIDN'T actually tell the same story: rather, that they stood on their own 2 feet alongside those books.

This is #8 in those graphic novels, and is set after the events of 'Return of the Jedi' (before Episode VII was ever even thought about), but before the New Republic had (re)captured Coruscant - like those X-Wing novels, a large part of these stories is set around the plans to do just that.

In this, the interim Emperor Sate Pestage is beginning to lose his grip on the Empire, leading to him to seek contact with Princess Leia in order to negotiate his defection.

However, Ysanne Isard - the key villainess of the novels - suspects him of doing so, and will stop at nothing to wrest control of the Empire ...

"The definitive Australian classic, this is one of my favorite Tim Winton novels: an epic, sprawling and quintessentially antipodean family story."
