Sitting here reading Scarab... and I cant seem to remember which of the Noh did Kabuki kill and carve up so they would think the body was hers? I dont have my trade with me and it'd driving me insane...
Thanks..

Funny thing. I only just now read Kabuki Volume 1: Circle of Blood. I picked it up last weekend. I planned on picking up the SHHH trade, but the girl didn't know if she had any (girls )
so I grabbed Kabuki instead. I had heard you all talk about it, but never really read/participated in any threads because I hadn't read it. I sat down with it and read the prologue..the four scenes..and was immediately captivated by the art and the symbolism and imagery in it.
My exposure to David Mack came from his itial Echo story in DD, Parts of a Hole. I liked the character, and i LOVED the art. It was Mack's recent arc on DD that made me think of him at the store. I had read about his new Kabuki mini coming out, and figured I had best get my ass in gear.
The book was amazing. The story is pretty universal in its theme of loss, love, honor, and betrayal. It wasn't just 'ninja girl kicks ass'--although there was no shortage of that two. The climactic battle had me on the edge of my seat.
Will probably pick up volume 2 next week. Am greatly looking forward to it.
If you are reading this, Mr. Mack, I just want to thank you. I was in a completely different world for hours. I love your work, and will definately pick up anything on the stands that has your name on it. Gotta support the ones you enjoy  _________________

so if you just read Circle of BLood don't read mine or just jeffrey's posts =)
Kabuki kicks ass as does David Mack. I can't post it enough. you seriously need to pick up the whole series. Skin Deep and Metamorphosis (sp?) are so much better. (IMHO its better than his Echo stuff). Mack also encourages people to pick up Meta first. If you buy stuff in HC save yourself money and just buy them all in HC from the get go. I bought some in HC and some in TPB and ended up buying them all in HC. COB HC might be HTF. too many acronyms. just like my job |

Hey, Thanks for all the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Shwicaz, Glad you tried it out. I'm really glad you liked the first one. I do think they get better as they go. I did Circle of Blood ten years ago and I like to think it improves. I think Metamorphosis is the best example of my writing and art in comics. But I recomend that you read Skin Deep before Meta.
Jeffery,
Glad you are digging it and thanks for all the kind words on the board. It never mentions in Meta which character is killed. You have to piece that together on your own after reading the next story
All,
Just as Meta continues right where Skin Deep left off, THE ALCHEMY continues at the very place that Metamorphosis leaves off. For those that liked the story tone in Meta, then ALCHEMY is your thing. I'm trying to out do the story in Meta with ALCHEMY. And though Image billed it as a 6 issue series, there is a pretty good chance it will end of being longer.
It is a richly texture kind of story in the way Meta is.
And each issue sort of has a different pace and rythm and storytelling style the way Meta does. I like each chapter of the story to contrast from each other and culminate at the end.
I'm very happy to hear of all the new readers on this board trying Kabuki for the first time. Thanks for the great feedback.
Please let me know what you think of the other collections.
Best,
David |
