10 of Pentacles

Force absolute, without moderation.

You know, I hear that sometime in the eighties they retconned Galactus so that he's actually just some giant cloud of Eat, who creates psychic fear vibrations or something that makes people THINK they're seeing a big nasty giant whatever-they-are. Fuck that. I like the insane megalomania of him being a GIANT SPACESHIP MAN WHO EATS PLANETS.

Also, I really think that in the long run I want to do these with no border, if I can manage it; full-bleed images just feel like more of a kick in the face, and that's what a good Tarot deck is supposed to deliver. Until then, though, Mz. Galactus here will be the only one to break out of her frame. She's too BIG not to.

Also I marked this as "Vore (tame)" on Furaffinity.

They tried to retcon him, but it didn't stick. Then they made him a ... collective of alien cockroaches or something in the Ultimate line.

Nobody nowadays really seems to have any idea how to deal with Kirby's works.

Oh, cool! I'm glad they turned him back into GIANT SPACE MAN. He was much more COMICS that way.

Ultimate was a bunch of short-term complete reimaginings of the basic ideas, right?

The Ultimate universe seems fairly persistent, as they're not so much a simple reimagining as a well-intentioned refactoring, distilling decades of storytelling cruft into something far more coherent and interconnected. They're for the most part quite good, if divergent from the standard Marvel universe. Still, Galactus has always been and will always be GIANT SPACE MAN to me. :)
