Sorry if this is posted here already, I looked but didn't see mention of it.
And I figured Millar would like to know. I heard the news on the Bendis board. The show "Screensavers" is slated to air again tomorrow at 12pm EST on G4/TECH TV. All four books are on their website right now with links to sites for each. From the site: http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episo...Book_Faves.html Our New Favorite Comics Kevin and Alex went out to see what’s new in comics, grabbing some the top-selling new titles. They came up with four that they really liked: Wanted topcow.com The Powers jinxworld.com Kabuki worldfamouscomics.com We3 crackcomicks.com |

I keep hearing that Kabuki is so many people's favorite book. It makes me wonder if they ever actually opened any of the issues....

Yes, flipping past the gorgeous cover and digesting the greatness inside is an integral part of saying KABUKI is a favorite among books. Allen |

(Doesn't like Mack's work; doesn't personally know anyone who does; hates Daredevil 51-55; bitter and angry.) |

Well, I'm of the mind that his DAREDEVIL: PARTS OF A HOLE story, which introduced Echo and was illustrated by Joe Quesada with highlights from David, is absolutely fantastic and am enjoying the heck out of the new KABUKI series as a new KABUKI reader. I'd recommend those to anyone. It's oft said by those who read any and all of the creator-owned KABUKI collections that they enjoyed them thoroughly, but I can't say personally as I have had to put off purchasing them for funds and whatnot. His other DAREDEVIL work, I'm waiting for the eventual hardcover for. Allen |

Ryan, did Mack run over your cat or something? You seem overly bitter for no reason whatsoever.
And, a reminder: 2. Do not insult creators or other members. If you have a problem with a creator's work, then write a critique. Your last two posts wouldn't really be seen as a critique, now would it? |

The man said no ill of David himself, just that he doesn't like his work much at all, "Echo Quest" especially. A shame, but it is what it is and well within Millarworld's boundaries. Allen |

First, I'd like to thank all the posters that responded with the kind regards.
I appreciate that kind of goodwill and the hospitality on this board. Hi Ryan, I hope you are doing well. It's no problem if my work on Kabuki is not your cup of tea. My work on Kabuki is certainly not going to appeal to everyone. Especially right off the bat. It is a very non-mainstream and a very personal work, so I understand if some people aren't sure what to think of it upon first glance. But that's no reason to let it bother you so much when other people mention that it is their favorite. Just for your own peace of mind and quality of life, I hope you won't let that sort of thing make you angry. Other people having different preferences than you is really nothing to let bother you. I was posting the link to the Tech TV site to let Millar and this board know that one of Millar's books was mentioned on the TV show and the site as well. I didn't mean to upset you. Kindest regards, David Mack P.S. Aside from the effect of it bothering you, I am glad to hear that so many people are expressing to you that Kabuki is their favorite book. So thank you for that bit of good news. The work is so personal to me that it is always good to hear when readers are able to make that kind of connection to it. |

I've personally loved Mack's stints on Daredevil, and his covers are always gorgeous! (Mmmm Alias!!)
I honestly have yet to pick up a single issue of Kabuki, but I plan to pick up the first two issues of the Icon stuff later this week or next week, depending on money situation. And on a side note, I met Mack once at a Mid-Ohio Con quite a while back, and he was a very cool guy, and I got a neat-o Kabuki sketch from him then (which is currently no where to be found... :angry: ) |

Wow. This is great. Thanks, Dave.
PS kabuki is the best indie book of the last ten years (and yes I still class it as an indie book). Quitely and I read them all on the 22 hour flight home from Australia and it was the only thing that stopped us killing each other. |

Kabuki isn't my favorite book, but I buy it because I love the book and adore David M's art.

Kabuki is awesome. Not a quick or even easy read, but an intelligent, thought provoking and intensely beutiful book.
I was a little "off-put" by the first random issue I picked up, and I can see if you were looking for some straight-forward superhero storytelling MACK's style might not be your cup of tea. However, for those willing to invest the time and patience to imerse themselves in the land of NOH they will be highly rewarded. David, I'm really enjoying the current series and the continuing stories of Kabuki, but, I was wondering if you have any plans to go back and flesh out the remaining Agents of Noh? |

Kabuki's one of those things that I admire more than I enjoy (a category that also includes Ornette Coleman and Robert Altman, FWIW), but I love the fact that there's room for a book like it to prosper.

How many THOUSANDS of copies are sold of Kabuki (and for good reason). But an "indie" book? Ummm... I don't think so. Not quite mainstream, but not quite indie either. Kabuki is a class in itself. IMHO, anyways. |

Will I get anything out of Kabuki if I start with the Icon issues? I'd presonally be interested in checking it out, but should I start with the Icon stuff or get the trades for the Image run first?

I've never read any of Mack's daredevil issues, but the first two issues of the new Volume of Kabuki on Icon are incredible. Never read anything previous either, so far it hasn't taken away from my enjoyment.
I will say that it's sort of artsy-fartsy in style and tone. I love it, but i can see how people wouldn't. -amit This post has been edited by a.sharma: Yesterday, 08:37 PM |

A shame, but it is what it is and well within Millarworld's boundaries. I agree, I didn't attack anyone personally. And, with respect to Mr. Mack, I do express my opinions. I just became bitter when my favorite book/character was turned into that run that was 51-55. I don't think it captured anything that had to do with Daredevil. The Echo run probably should have been its own mini rather than a run in the series, but I understand if they needed to fill in that Bendis gap. Just not my cup of tea......or coffee......or orange juice......or, as a matter of fact, any liquid substance whatsoever. |
