YAY! Finally read Kabuki!!! Took me long enough with all the moving house and stuff going on...
LOVED IT! I can't wait to get start with TPB #2! I gotta say that politics are not my thing at all - my brain is just not wired that way - so the first few pages were a bit hard for me to get into. But the art made up for it and even more so: The character, the atmosphere and the mythology stuff. Totally my kind of thing. Got nothing bad to say about it.
Have of course also been reading my regulars which I enjoy lots, but I haven't read Spidey 62 yet!!!
Read issue 21 of Sam & Twitch and really liked it a lot! So I didn't carry on reading 22-24 cause I want to try an find issue 20 first. And then maybe the others... Are there TPBs?
There are soooo many titles I want to buy now (Sam & Twich, Kabuki, Alias, Powers, ...) but unfortunately I will have to reduce (!!!) my list of regulars, since I will be a poor student again and in Germany no less! If anybody here knows a store in Germany that stocks the US issues LET ME KNOW!!
And since the question usually comes up: My current list of regulars is
- Daredevil (absolute essential! Also buy the TPBs. )
- US-M (too impatient to wait x months for the TPB)
- MK S-M (too impatient to wait x months for the TPB)
- Hellblazer (Would prefer to switch to TPBs. Are there TPBs?)
- The Pulse (Will there be TPBs? Might switch then.)
- Secret War (Will not miss a single issue!!! and won't buy TPBs should there be any, since the individual issues are so pretty!)
- Avengers #500 onwards (Have never read Avengers before. Should be fun. )
- Powerless (Not an essential but I like the idea. Should I have to cancel more of my titles this one will be the first.)
That was AFTER an attempt to reduce my list down to 5.
In the end I only dropped Ast. X-Men, UX-M, UFF, DD Father.
I will stick to TPBs for Powers and Kabuki whenever I have the money to spare since I am sure to get them in TPBs and they are not likely to run out.  _________________

i'm sure there will be. why wouldn't marvel collect this series? alias was collected. if they dont collect it, i wont read it. i havne't been buying the singles

they will probably make a big nice hardcover. i think bendis alluded to this

will probably make a trade

Hi Diana!
I'm glad you read it, and thanks for posting the kind feedback.
I'm happy that you liked the first one, but I promise it gets a lot better.
I wrote and drew circle of blood ten years ago when I was 20yrs old. So I even though I still see a lot of charm in it, I believe that the newer Kabuki stuff is much better.
Skin Deep and Metamorphosis are my favorite.
But Circle of Blood is a great book to read for all of the foundational info about the characters that the future books are built on.
Thanks a lot for reading it!
Warmest regards,
David
Newsarama just posted an interview about Kabuki that goes into a lot of the things involved in my approach and what each of the volumes are about.
This one also has some preview pages posted. Some in a different form than those at the Pulse:
