SDCC Exclusive: Upper Deck's Absolute DC Cards Chase the Omega Rainbow

Reading the three

Set against the Pythagorean table, the headline totals 237. Reduced, that is 3. The weight sits in “Exclusive:”, which carries 39 on its own and reduces to 3.

Its named subject, Upper Deck, reads as a 9 (humanitarian & sage), so the report and the thing it describes are pulling in different directions. The number's contribution is communication, creativity, and the public stage — and with it the 3's instinct to turn everything into a story worth telling, which is the thread the reference follows here.

Beneath the 3 sit two smaller figures: 9 in the vowels, 3 in the consonants. Reckoning underneath, expression on the surface. The gap between them is where the story is most interesting.

Read on the 3's terms, this report asks you to watch the technique rather than the plot it is carrying. The 3 talks past the point. Where an entry here runs long, it is usually because the technique was more fun to describe than it was important. The other reports that reduce to 3 are collected on The Telling.
