Bummer. I was really looking forward to that. I'm guessing licensing fees and/or just sheer cussedness. Dark Horse has the rights to Buffy and IDW has the rights for Angel, yet Dark Horse is the one marketing it. (I'm not saying all rights, just print rights for the images and the cards are basically prints.)
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
Rats! The one piece of merchandise I was planning on buying.
Mary Greer - says:
Rumor has it that someone holding rights decided that a tarot deck would be “too occult” and attract the wrong people! Gee, did that person ever see the TV episodes that included tarot readings? Is there something more occult than vampires and witches? I guess they figured a tarot deck might give Buffy a bad name (did I say that?).
What do you think? Tarot decks "too Occult" for Buffy fans? Or "too occult" for the WB?
What would the WB have to do with it? They don't have any rights to the show or its licensing.
Would it be 20th Century then?
Not that it matters - dead is dead.
I saw a Buffy birthday card at CVS today. It was in the section of musical card and played the theme song.
How fun!

Yes. It would all be 20th, sumi. Sorry if I sounded snippy.
From Comic Book Resources Lying in the Gutter:
ADVANCE CANCELLATION
The Buffy Tarot card set from Dark Horse is cancelled. No reasons are given, but I hear talk it was due to conflicts with the representatives of certain actors/actresses who appear on the cards. Apparently make believe occult nonsense is fine, but an actual item that might be used in the black arts is not.
But really. You think someone would have predicted this. Somehow.
He gave this rumor a green light - meaning it's v. likely to be true.
