META BARONS TAROT REVIEW
The Meta-Barons Tarot is based around the characters of warriors and the storyline from The Metabarons, a graphic novel written by Jodorowsky as well as Gimenez. Each of the 78 cards is illustrated by illustrations from the book. The Meta-Barons is a popular sci-fi series that was published between the year 1981- 2003. It was a space opera about a dynasty full of perfect warriors, with a variety of influences from science fiction famous authors such as Frank Herbert and his Dune series, and an element that drew from George Lucas’ Star Wars series sprinkled in to add some spice. The illustrations in the deck are drawn entirely from the comics, and were chosen to complement the standard (Rider-Waite-Smith) thematic tarot.
The basic premise of the Metabaron the story is that each Meta-Baron is brutally mutilated in his early years from his own father (usually with some kind of amputation) and the limb that was destroyed is replaced with a biological or mechanical one, with cybernetic implants included. Every son is forced to engage in a battle to the end – Darth Vader or any other story? The Meta-Barons adhere to the Bushido-style code of victory or death. This Meta-Barons Tarot comes complete with an array of comic book tropes like females with a tummy and androgynous automatons as well as square-jawed hyper-masculinity. The deck is gritty and tense, masculine and gladiatorial.
