Sounds really cool, and I don't mind a variant cover one bit, but making it a 50/50 would be better than any other option.

I'd get both...which means I'd be buying 4 copies as I'd have to get both for my cousin too... lesigh. Anyway, but just don't let them pull some wierd retailer insentive crap and screw over my LCS because she can't sell 100 copies of New X-Men*or whatever the PTBs decide* so they won't give her any of the insentive cover of the month. (I HATE the way those things are set up.)

As long as I can put down in my lil order booklet I want 2 of this one and 2 of that one and 1 of this and 1 of that...its all ducky day for me!!!

I think it's a good idea. and second or fifth or whatever the 50/50 or so ratio. I dig your covers the best, but it is cool to have another awesome cover! I bought both of the first issue covers, and would probably buy two of any other Kabuki cover.

So i bought the Alchemy #2, even though i was going to wait to get it from you. (probably still will:D
I am trying to expose it to other people. Gave one of my copies to my parents for them to read and for them to try and get my relatives to read, and eventually make it to my cousin who used to read comics. I think i need to write you a letter about the direction you are going, which i LOVE by the way.

anywho, getting off topic.
other covers good

peace

Ha! You just want me buying two copies every other month, now I get it! Hehe...seriously, I would totally be up for it. Bought two copies of #1 from my shop, then bought another from you in Chi. Then, I just bought two copies of iss #2 because my letter and link to my site was in there.
So, yes I would pick both covers up. Smile

Well, the way I did the covers with the Kabuki #1 issue had two levels. The first was that retailers could order any quantity of either cover that they wanted.
Instead of strict 50/50 this puts 100% of the control and choice in the hands of the retailers and fans.
If you want both covers, you order both. If you only want one, you order the one you want. And both were shown in the previews catalogue.

The other level was as a free bonus to the retailers. For every 10 they ordered, they recieved a Maleeve cover for FREE.

So that way gives everyone complete choice, and also rewards retailers with a completely FREE issue for ordering a healthy amount.


Unless anyone doesn't like that way, I'd probably do it again, as I feel it is the most fair, and gives retailers a free bonus.

What do you think?

You should definately do it like that again.

I'm glad you are loving the direction.

Thanks all for the feedback so far.
I have some other never before published kabuki art by some of my other favorite artists. A Kent Williams Kabuki. Scott Morse. Amano. Jon Muth. Thom Ang. Oeming. And Bill Sienkewiecz said he'd like to do a Kabuki painting.

I'd like to know what artists you might like to see do a Kabuki cover in the future. Please give my your suggestions of THE artists you definitley want to see do a Kabuki cover in case I ever do another alternate.

I know alot of creators want us to preorder our comics, so I understand that system.

I still prefer the straight 50 / 50, but you have to do what's best for you.

Who here loves Adam's work?

He's said for a while now that he has wanted to do a Kabuki piece.
Yesterday he told me that he is starting on it this week.

I should have the finished piece very soon!

So I'll probably use it for an alternative cover for Kabuki #4.
Is this something you would like?

Please let me know your opinions on this.

I'll post the art here as soon as I get it next week Smile


WOW, that's cool...

i dont know who adam hughes is though... Sad

I'd go with the option now that you mention it. Easier to get for those who want it, no pressure for those who dont.

And for artists I'd like to see do a cover

Allred
Templesmith
Sienkewiecz
Noto
Jones (J.G)
Lee (Jae and Andy)

Oh, and Who Cares?

If you noticed a run of Wonder Woman covers in the last hew years that looked babe-alicious, those were Adam Hughes. He's been around awhile.
