FEED HIM AND buy a Tranimal

and buy one there

and if Andy Lee is there give him ton's of money too


I did that same very thing at MegaCon. First, I bought a Tranimal (for a friend). Then I gave Mack all my money. Then I made money selling my books. Then I bought another Tranimal, because I fell in love with the first one and didn't want to give him away (and we cuddle every night), and then I went to my table and made more money and then I gave it to Andy Lee. But my wall looks freaking cool with art by Andy, Anh, and David:

Mack is powerfully poetic. His narration is flowerly in a way I only like to Joe Lisnear Dawn.

It makes you want to look deeper and see what is lying just beneath the surface...because you know there's something more there.

I really like his shit. Can't say love...but then again I haven't read it all either Very Happy

Now Mackie, please pretty please give me a quote Laughing

Mack not only signed my copy of the Circle of Blood trade, but he drew a tiny Kabuki face in my sketchbook next to Bendis' sketch. (Who got pissed at me because I told him I was putting his sketch next to George Perez's Wasp.)

Mack is awesome, and Kabuki has to be one of the best comics I've ever read.

Or maybe you have very specific tastes and maybe my work is outside of that box for you and maybe it is not your cup of tea. That happens.


Hey Mack,

Everyone here loves your work but, not that you need this or anything, I wanted to express a different opinion. For some reason I just havent been able to get into your stuff. Im an impulsive buyer and I picked up Metamorphosis for no other reason than to check it out. I dont know if it was necessarily the best entry point for Kabuki, but I just never got into it.

I never really liked the character Echo either, probably for the same reason that she was unique. I didnt like the concept of an alter-dd, someone with essentially the same abilities, just shifted one sense over. Its the same reason I dont like Milla from Bendis' run. I feel like playing on an aspect of Daredevil in the creation of another character is an attempt to add more weight to a character than should be there.

There is a point to this post and its not just for me to be a dick. First is that I really respect what you do. I can honestly say when I was first exposed to your work that the first thought that came across my mind was that you are a genius. So yeah theres the cockstroke.

And the second point is that even though Im someone with a dissenting opinion from the majority of this board, Im going to give Kabuki another try with the Icon launch. Ill try anything four times, so heres another to see what Im missing.

Also, if you could throw in some boobies thatd be great. Peace

mack is aces. true innovator, reinventing the medium.

if you feel like you're not getting him, read him again. he's just three steps ahead of you.

which isn't your fault. just make sure to take the time to catch up.

can't wait for kabuki. refuse to look at the preview. it WILL be absolutely new and fresh to me on that not-too-distant wednesday.

Hey Easytiger,
I appreciate the kind words and thanks for keeping an open mind Smile

I'm going to pop back in here when I get a few minutes and respond to some of the other posters, comments, and questions.

Thanks for all the feedback people!

Mack's work is probably the closest comics have come to fine art. Simply beautiful imagery and symbolism. You can enjoy the story at face value, but you're rewarded for putting a little more effort into it. A truly great comic and well worth another look if you didn't get into it the first time.

It took me two tries to get it. But, I've always been a little slow. Very Happy

If I had more money I'd love to get some Mack & Lee art to hang up. The stuff above is fantastic. One of these days I wil. Very Happy

(So far my original art collection consists of a few sketches, and one page each form Georges Jeanty, Chynna Clugston-Major, and Oeming (that I just won and haven't actually gotten yet.))

I would not exclude McKean or Sienkiewicz from that category.

Not to mention, Jon Muth, Jason Alexander, Glen Barr, Jill Thompson, Bill Koeb, John Bolton, George Pratt, Kent Williams, Michael Gaydos.. so many more I'm leaving out, wait to our own Sandman1313 gets some comics work.. the cool thing about Mack and all these artists is their unique styles. You can look at anyone and pick their names out. Wouldn't it be real sweet to have a museum expo with all the above artists? ...drool...

An interview about the new Kabuki series at Newsarama:

This one also has some preview pages posted. Some in a different form than those at the Pulse:
