Bought this bad boy from MACK! at Wizardworld East and finally had the time to read it. Great story. Thanks for pointing out the lyrics for Ruiner at WW, they really fit that part of the story. Kabuki's dream about her fight with Kai was shocking and foreshadowing (in a way) at the same time. Now I'm starting on the books you gave me which has stuff from Skin Deep, I believe. Must get more Kabuki! _________________ Look who got a livejournal... http://www.livejournal.com/users/kman00001/

Kabuki is addicting! It's like a legal drug!
Could be a good advertising line for the series, don't ya think?

I have a question for people (like me) who waited all this time to try Kabuki.
Why did you wait so long?
I am guilty of this, too. Kabuki and the various characters in the Kabukiverse (if i may call it that) have been around for ten years now.
What made you hop on to the book now, as opposed to then.
For me, it was simply a matter of having a pre conceived notion of what the book would be. I had tried a couple of the SHI miniseries, and for some reason, they didn't capture me attention. I just looked at the covers of Kabuki (and I am ashamed to admit this) thought it was some sort of Shi rip-off.
I figured if I didn't like SHI, why should I bother with Kabuki. It was only since I came here, and saw MACK! floating about and seeing his passion for his work that I thought that maybe I had made a mistake. I really enjoyed his work on DD, and it was in the middle of the latest ECHO arc he did, that I decided to take the plunge. Better late than never!!
So, what's your excuse? _________________

I'm worse. I knew exactly what it was, I loved Mack's work, but for some reason I always passed it on the shelves. I finally decided to take the plunge and haven't looked back since, really. _________________

Well, I thought it wasn't my type of thing. Of course, I didn't really give it an honest chance either. But, earlier this year when I met David (had met him a couple times before, but never really talked much to him, as I had only known him for his DD work), he asked me to seriously give the series a chance. So, I did. But yeah, I wish I had discovered it sooner.

I don't think I was even aware of who David Mack was until his run as writer on DD. I was brought up on mostly Marvel and DC comics so most stuff like Kabuki, Jinx, and books like that kind of fell under my radar until pretty recently. I figured I'd finally dive into Kabuki when the chance came to meet David Mack. I got some freebies out of it so waiting wasn't so bad.  _________________ Look who got a livejournal... http://www.livejournal.com/users/kman00001/

Kman,
Thanks for the kind words about the book. I'm very glad that you like it and will read more.
I believe that it gets better. I recommend reading Skind Deep and Metamorphosis when you get the chance (preferable before the new Kabuki series from ICON begins in July.
Those books will really catch you up to speed on where the new Kabuki story The Alchemy from Icon begins.
Thanks,
DM |
