You possess the magical touch. In a world where mediocrity often prevails, having something special, something that sets you apart, is a rare and valuable attribute. It is the elusive magical touch that can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is that intangible quality that captures hearts, inspires minds, and leaves a lasting impression. The magical touch is not limited to a select few; it resides within all of us. It is a power that lies dormant, waiting to be awakened and harnessed.
We’ve all seen the “superhero suiting up” moment a thousand times, but Balent lovingly renders the 3 Little Kittens most private areas in graphic detail, with legs, breasts and vulvas close-up before our heroes (Jaguara! Catress! Kitty Pop!) rush out to fight off the alien invasion. But first, they’re gonna get some donuts have to fight off TSA flight safety robots! Again the storytelling of the art is let down by the writing, as whatever the aliens are doing frees a carload of malfunctioning automatons who only want to safeguard our airlines. There’s some mighty ham-fisted social commentary going on as the robots terrorize private citizens and their civil liberties, but it’s pretty much sidelined by the fighty-fighty. There’s also much distraction to the fact that Jaguara’s costume includes no covering whatsoever for her chest, other than something that is either a tattoo or bodypaint over each nipple. (She also crashes through a wall, causing her thong bottom to do what thong bottoms do, once again exposing her genitalia.) Things awkwardly transition back to Tarot and Jim as his electricity suddenly goes out (whether this is expected or somehow plot-related is not explained), causing them to climb out the window naked and get more intimate as several mysterious topless female creatures watch from the foliage… The most fun part of the issue for me is the last several pages, which include a letters page, reader-submitted spells for those who practice Wicca (I believe that’s the term, anyway) and photos of the creative team’s Halloween celebration.
There s also much distraction to the fact that Jaguara s costume includes no covering whatsoever for her chest, other than something that is either a tattoo or bodypaint over each nipple. Faithful Spoilerite Question Of The Day Given the amount of fabric in most superhero costumes, isn t it unrealistic how FEW wardrobe malfunctions superhumans endure.
It is a power that lies dormant, waiting to be awakened and harnessed. But how does one discover this power? It starts with self-belief. Believing in oneself is the first step towards unlocking the magical touch.
REVIEW: Tarot – Witch Of The Black Rose #72
A recent discussion with Weekend Guy Chris at Gatekeeper Hobbies (Huntoon & Gage, Topeka! Ask me about our New 52 first printings!) led to a strange exposition of a previous issue of Tarot: Witch Of The Black Rose, a title which I had never actually experienced. In the interest of seeing if the grass is really greener on the other side of the fence, I grabbed the latest issue in my regular stack of books this week.
I have to say I did NOT expect what I got for my two-ninety-five…

Previously, in Tarot – Witch Of The Black Rose: Tarot is a practitioner of magic, a sword-priestess, and protector of the innocent who works to create a “safe haven in the world of man” for beings of mystic origin, most of which are marginalized due to our increasingly mechanized and dehumanizing world. Her origin bears elements of Wonder Woman, Xena, and a hint of Doctor Strange, all wrapped up in a noticeably buxom package. This, apparently, is NOT her story…
It is essential to recognize one's own worth and potential. Everyone has unique talents, skills, and perspectives. Embracing these qualities and having confidence in them is the key to unleashing the magic within. When you possess the magical touch, you have the ability to bring joy and happiness to others. Your presence exudes positivity, lifting spirits and brightening days. Your words have the power to motivate and inspire, leaving a lasting impact on those around you. But the magical touch is not limited to personal interactions; it extends to the work we do and the passions we pursue. Whether you are an artist, a writer, a teacher, or a doctor, infusing your touch into your craft can elevate it to extraordinary levels. It is the magical touch that turns a painting into a masterpiece, a story into a timeless tale, a lesson into an enlightening experience, and a patient into a healed individual. The magical touch is found in the small acts of kindness, the genuine smiles, and the simple gestures that make a difference in someone's life. It is the ability to empathize and understand, to connect with others on a profound level. It is the power to make people feel seen, heard, and valued. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, the magical touch is a beacon of hope and positivity. It reminds us of the beauty and potential that reside within all of us. It is a reminder that we are capable of creating magic, both in our own lives and in the lives of those around us. So, embrace your magical touch. Believe in yourself and the power you possess. Use it to make a difference in the world, one magical touch at a time..
Reviews for "Unleash Your Magical Touch: Embrace Your True Power"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was disappointed with "You possess the magical touch." While the book promised an exciting and enchanting story, I found it to be dull and predictable. The characters lacked depth, and the plot felt like a recycled version of other fantasy novels I have read before. I struggled to stay engaged and ended up skimming through most of the chapters. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an original and captivating read.
2. Joshua - 1 star
"You possess the magical touch" was a complete waste of my time. The writing was amateurish, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentences that pulled me out of the story. The world-building was weak, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The pacing was slow, and the plot lacked any real excitement or surprise. I regret picking up this book and wish I had spent my time and money on something else.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "You possess the magical touch," but it fell short of my expectations. The story had potential, but the execution was disappointing. The prose was overly descriptive, sometimes to the point of being tedious. The main character was unlikable and made decisions that didn't make sense to me. The romantic subplot felt forced and unnecessary. Overall, the book lacked the magic and charm it promised, and I was left feeling underwhelmed.
4. Robert - 1 star
"You possess the magical touch" was a slog to get through. The writing was dull, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story failed to hold my interest. The world-building was lackluster, and I was left with more questions than answers by the end of the book. I found it difficult to care about what happened to the protagonist or any of the supporting characters. Overall, this was a forgettable and unengaging read that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
