In Response To: Just RE-Read the entire Kabuki run!! (SimplyJD)

: Wow! David, I've gotta say that I had a great
: appreciation for your work on this serious before, as
: I'd read most of them as they came out from the very
: beginning. But towards the end of the Image series as
: well as the end of the Scarab series, I missed an
: issue or two. Well I finnaly got them and I sat down
: and read everything over one weekend.

: This entire series is simply one of the greatest stories
: I've ever read...not just comic-wise either sir. There
: wasn't a single issue that I could "ho hum"
: nor a single panel of art that I could deem bad.
: Literally every single issue meant something to the
: larger tale and the mixed media-style art by you
: (especially once the series hit color) is so
: inspiring...you make me want to build a canvass and
: attempt my own work!

: Even all over your letter columns were great reads, with
: their photos of you and Andy Lee (someone I've met a
: few times now, as well as bumping into you too once)
: and your incredible honesty about where your ideas for
: Kabuki's journey come from. I usually don't get all
: "fan boy" over comics, but I just wanted to
: tell you that you're someone that truly makes me
: breathe deeply when I read your stories and oftentimes
: I find myself looking at issues for what seems and
: hour or so.

: I can't tell enough people about your series and I'll
: forever tell more people to read this incredibly deep
: story that you're taking us on. I never write to
: creators, but I'll be damned if I can contian the
: excitement I had once I finished that last issue of
: Kabuki Agents: Scarab! I literally had the goosebumps.
: Keep up the work sir and I'll keep buyin! You've got a
: reader for life.

: JD

Thanks a bunch for the kind words. I'm glad you were able to read it all from the beginning at once time. I urge everyone else to do this. Especially before the new series comes out THIS JANUARY!

The new series is a brand new era in Kabuki's life. It is NOT going to recap anything from the previous stories. I've made sure that all six Kabuki volumes are in print and available in collections, so I hope people will use that as an oppertunity to read everything that has come before and hopefully read it all at once like you did.

In the new series THAT is all Kabuki's past. There won't be any flashbacks to it. No catch up. But it is still a great place for new readers to start because it is a brand new start for Kabuki that is very much it's own story, not dependant on previous stories. You don't need to read the past to understand the primary thrust of the new story. But if you do, you will love the contrast and the oblique and subtle hints at her past. And you will see the fruition of many of the seeds planted in previous issues! Seeds that you didn't know were seeds, but now you will see them blossom into something spectacular and mindblowing.

The truth is, after you read this new series, you will want to go back and read the previous stories again and you will see them in a new way that is going to make you appreciate them in a brand new dimension as well as the ways that they are already charming to you. They will still hold that charm, but you will have a brand new perspective to appreciate them from. It will be like looking at pictures of yourself as a child. You always appreciated the pictures for what they were, but now that you are grown up, you can see how those moments shaped your present life.

But the new series is specifically designed to be her NEW life. And it is essentially an instruction manual on creating a NEW life, creating the life of YOUR OWN PERSONAL DREAMS AND INTERESTS, that should be practical and applicable to anyone who reads it. It is a recipe and blueprint for creating your own reality, your own career, and your own fresh start. It is a spell for creating your own magic. Taking the baggage of your life and turning it into something positive and useful. Turning your garbage into gold.
KABUKI: The Alchemy is scheduled to ship in January and will be the cover of the January Previews.
We won't be overprinting, so please make sure your retailer orders ahead of time from the catalogue.

It is going to be great to have the Kabuki letter collumn again! I'm going to cram this issue with all that I can. Sketches, etc.

Please read the previous Kabuki stories like JD so you are ready for it!
Bestest,
David
