Really, as good as it is, Circle is the weakest and "least MACK" of the bunch (and I don't think David would disagree with that - at least I hope not! ). The story-telling and (most especially) the art gets better with each volume. You can see the confidence growing as he experiments with looks and textures. Get the rest of these trades NOW! You'll continue to be floored... |

I disagree as well. Circle is my favorite arc thus far. Meta though is VERY close behind.

In regard to Kabuki...there is no "bad" Mack...but there is indeed "early" Mack and "modern/current" Mack.
I honestly miss the CoB mini's art style and would love to see a new mini with David trying his hand at the more "simple" style once more. That is why I loved Kabuki Agents:Scarab so much...Mays art is so the current opposite of Mack's that it is almost refreshing.
Rick really knocks it out of the ballpark and I can't wait for the next Agents mini.  _________________ SimplyJD Online - Convention coverage, comic news, interviews, rumors,

Well, I disagree with all ya alls. So there. Skin Deep chapter two is my favorite. Then, the Ghost Play (Dreams part 4). And Meta is all kinds of cool and I can't even spell it. _________________

I love Kabuki! Metamorphosis is my favorite. It definently displays Mack's ability as an artist. The one thing I love most about his books though, is that everytime you read them, there is always something new to be found, and something new that you learn. And it's just pure genius story-telling.

Yes, it's collected as Kabuki Agents: Scarab. It's Vol. 6 of the Kabuki series. _________________ The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. |

Thanks Amy!
Really glad you read it and liked it!
Circle of Blood is a great place to start as it lays a good foundation to the other books.
But if you liked that, I can't wait to hear what you'll think of SKIN DEEP, METAMORPHOSIS, and SCARAB. Those volumes really bring the story into a new dimension. Using Circle of Blood as a jump off point, I think they will be a great surprise for you.
Thanks everyone,
for the feedback and comments!
