ABOUT

From the co-creator of The Sixth Gun and Harrow County comes a new supernatural thriller graphic novel that's Locke & Key meets Rounders!
Hudson Tremaine is a streetwise gambler who has siphoned money from every high-stakes game in Vegas. She’s made a name for herself, but she's also made more than a few enemies in the gambling underworld. When she is invited to play in the most underground card tournament of all—the Arcanos Mysterinos—she realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined possible. 

Imagine a clandestine poker tournament where magicians, demons, and demigods gamble using a set of mysterious tarot-like cards. These games shape the fate of the world…of many worlds…for good or ill. This game has always been played in secret, hidden from the prying eyes of mortals.

Until now.

Hudson has always been willing to bet on herself—but playing for the fate of all humanity is something she never anticipated!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
