I'm glad you liked the different storytelling approaches I used in Daredevil.
I try to make the story and art indistinguishable from each other. They really become one thing that cannot be sepparated or categorized. Even more so in the Kabuki books. I'd say check out the KABUKI: Metamorphosis trade for the best example of that. And it will probably be a good starter kabuki trade for you if you dig the Daredevil stuff.
And the new Kabuki series starts right where Meta leaves off.
If you get a chance to read it, please post some feedback here and let me know what you think.
Best,
David |
I'll more than likely try and start with the first TPB (along with the new series) if I can and go from there. I will definitely post some feedback after I read it. _________________ Of all the things I've lost over time, I miss my mind the most. |

Guys, I've never read any Kabuki, but I'd like to pick some up the next time I'm back home. Are there any hardcovers or collections I can buy?
Thanks!

Glad you are going to pick up the trades.
Go to davidmack.net and there is a synopsis about what each trade is about.
Also check out this interview just posted at Newsaramo for more info about each Kabuki trade and hardcover:
This one also has some preview pages posted. Some in a different form than those at the Pulse:

Hi Wayner,
Yeah, you can start right with the new Kabuki #1. It is a brand new arc and brand new direction.
But if you get the chance, I'd also recommend that you check out one of the Kabuki trades to see the some more depth of the story and contrast from the old Kabuki and the new series.
I'd recommend either starting with KABUKI: Circle of Blood, or KABUKI: Metamorphosis (which is my favorite of them).
Check out the interview at Newsarama for more info on the new series, and the trades and why I do Kabuki and how I began it.
Thanks,
David

I saw it at a con too. Tried to look at the art without reading anything. Looks great, can't wait to read it. _________________

I assure you that Kabuki is a completely story oriented book.
Even the nature of the art is a tool of the story.
Check out davidmack.net for a brief description of each of the volumes.
I recomend beginning with vol 1 KABUKI: Circle of Blood, or Vol 4 KABUKI: Metamorphosis (which is my favorite). The art is a complete servant to the story and you'll find it bursting to the seams with layers and dimensions to the story. |
Cool, thanks for the reply Mack. I'm treating Kabuki #1 the same way i have Sleeper vol2 #1. I'm buying the first issue & if i like it, i'm going back for the trades. Sleeper already won me over & i'm hoping Kabuki will too... |

Thanks for giving it a shot and approaching it with an open mind!
Really glad to hear your going to pick up the first issue. I hope it dazzles or intrigues you enough to pick up the trades
Please post your feedback when you get a chance.
Thanks all!

Okay, I've never tried Kabuki. I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to sequential art, so I never gave it a shot. Saw Mack's stuff in Wizard World and it blew me away. While talking with him about his art, he made a comment to my wife that came off as insulting. I left the trades at the table.
After talking with others who have met David, and seeing how he responds to each and every question or comment posted here, I feel that the comment was misinterpreted or he was just having a bad day (we all do). I plan on picking up at least 1 trade in San Diego and giving Kabuki a shot. My wife and I both are looking forward to meeting Mr. Mack (that just sounds cool) again.
And David, if you read this, I mean no slight to you in the least. In fact, it's just the opposite. You've completely overcome any misconceived notion I may have had when I first met you. So much so that I can not wait to read your material.
I apologize for judging you, and your work, so quickly and with such arrogance. _________________ www.hero-camp.com |

Hi Greg,
I appreciate that. Glad you have an open mind to my work and are planning to take the innitiative to try it. I look forward to seeing you and your wife in San Diego. Please introduce yourself and let me know you are Greg T from the board.
I certainly apologize for the offending comment. I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or offend. I can't think of what I might have said.
I imagine that it was an unintended offense, and I appreciate you considering it that way.
You are welcome to mention it to me, and I can try to remember and bring the context back to it or explain myself if I can recall it. If you prefer to do it privatley, feel free to PM me.
Again, thanks for giving me the beniefit of the doubt, and choosing to check out my books. |
