David Mack & Kabuki Mentioned in Larsen Column
From Image Comics Publisher Erik Larsen:
	And just because I'm not fanatical about a title - it doesn't mean it's not good. Generally it's a situation where somebody at the office is enthusiastic about the book or somebody whose taste I trust is. I'll give you an example. "Kabuki." I like David Mack - I think he's a swell guy. There are few people I'd rather hang out with than David Mack (especially after he decides it's time for some lively river-dancing), but his book gives me a headache. All the twisting text and experimental layouts make it difficult to follow and the book itself just doesn't draw me in. It just seems like a lot of effort to read. But I understand that people love it and when Colleen Doran recommended we take it on, I made a few calls and suddenly we were in the "Kabuki" business.
