YAY! Finally read Kabuki!!! Took me long enough with all the moving house and stuff going on... Confused

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. Smile

Have of course also been reading my regulars which I enjoy lots, but I haven't read Spidey 62 yet!!! Mad

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. Rolling Eyes )
- 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. Very Happy)
- 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. Rolling Eyes
In the end I only dropped Ast. X-Men, UX-M, UFF, DD Father. Crying or Very sad

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. Crazy

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:
