All I can say is WOW! I really like Scarab now, I hope Mack does more stories with her, she really is cool.

Scarab was my favorite book after Circle of Blood. It was a nice departure from the main story, but still managed to advance the main story as well. Very well done. _________________

Glad you liked it
It was a fun writing experiment. A play on first person point of view to contrast the point of view in Metamorphosis.
And lots of Japan underculture crime fiction. |

So, can we expect more Scarab stories? I know I'm definitely all for it! Of course, I'm interested in seeing a good Tigerlilly story now!

[POSSIBLE SPOILERS]
yeah, i just finished this last night. excellent stuff. can't wait for the new kabuki book.
felt kinda tragic. you get close to scarab, and of course are already close to kabuki, and i hella felt like they should have been friends and comrades. but it's the fucked up thing of being a reader where you can see shit the characters can't.
sad.
but great work, mack!

I had the same reaction, I like scarab (as a character) almost as much a Kabuki now. I would definately like to see more Scarab stories set in the past, that would certainly be cool.
Looking forward to the stories of the rest of the AGENTS OF THE NOH. |

I believe that TIGER LILY is next on the list for a mini or her own... _________________ SimplyJD Online...convention coverage, interviews & unique commentary! |

Thanks for the feedback.
The Scarab trade chronicles her first job as Scarab and her last job as Scarab. There are lots of Scarab adventures in between those 2 that it would be great to chronicle. I'm sure I'll work them in one way or another.
And some more of those scenes of her interacting with Tigerlily in that series. |

Rick really kicked in during Scarab.
If anyone hasn't read this yet, pick it up fast. Great combination Mays and Mack. _________________ - Anad (pronounced like swizzle-stick) |
