...is what I yelled out loud last night when I got to the end of the Skin Deep trade and realized it was a cliffhanger ending!! Woke my wife up and everything!

Seriously, this was the best trade yet in the series and I'll be picking up the next 2 this afternoon. The art in this one was just great - you draw the most beautiful women in comics - beautiful without having to resort to big breasts and pouty lips wrapped in spandex. Just great. Thank you!

Hey, glad you liked it.
Thanks for the kind words. Sorry for waking your wife Smile

If you liked Skin Deep, you are going to LOVE the next volume: METAMORPHOSIS.

It continues with all the good stuff started in Skin Deep. But Meta has all the payoffs to the things Skin Deep sets up. The Akemi thing, and tons the answer to many other mysteries.

And the new series this month starts right where Metamorphosis leaves off.
So please read Meta before you start the new series from Marvel ICON.

I'd have to say that so far, Metamorphosis is provobly the best example of my work in comics as both writer and artist.

Please let me know what you think about it.
Best,
David

I think it defies genre classification.

I suppose you could call the first volume a crime story, since it deals with the Japanese crime world. But you could also call it an espionage story. Or a ghost story. Or maybe even Sci-fi. But in the way that George Orwell's 1984 would be sci-fi. Or a children's book. But in the way Alice in Wonderland is a children's book that actually has socio-political satire encryted in it.

There is an afterword in the first volume by Takeshi Hattori that goes into this from a Japanese perspective. The various ways the story could be viewed. The way it includes or overlaps into other genres but cannot be encapsolated in any of them.

I leave that kind of personal interpretation to the reader.
