Hey, Mack! Haven't read the new issue yet but I liked the painted color arc that you did at Image with the character in the asylum/detention center. Very creative stuff! _________________ Edward Douglas |

Hard to say but I will go with Metamorphosis because of the art. there is a lot of detail and with the way it's done I can go back to it and read it again and again and I will still get something out of it. Often I will buy a book and enjoy it but I wouldn't read it again, Metamorphosis isn't that type of book for me
But I have to say that Scarab is not far behind Meta, I love how you can see the "same story" but on a different angle and with a different artist. But I need to read again this one but I need to find more time
I really enjoyed the first issue of the alchemy, I can't wait for the next issue! _________________

Artistically, Metamorphosis (which you told me was your favourite, David - what's your reason? ).
I like the story of Masks of the Noh best, though (although I haven't quite finished Scarab yet, and I'm liking that, too). The different artists, the focus on the different characters and POVs and the first view into the relationships of the other Noh agents makes it a favourite. I really like Scarab and Tigerlily.
However, my favourite character dynamic has to be Kabuki and Akemi from Skin Deep, moving into Metamorphosis. That was some truly beautiful writing. _________________ Doc'

Metamorphosis . It's the first one I read and it's brilliant. I also like Skin Deep though, and I think the two volumes become even more interesting when read in close succession.
But Metamorphosis is a book that shows how much potential there is in comics. It makes me want to write a paper or something on it. And when I read it, I can't stop thinking about it for a good week or two.

I still love Circle of Blood ALOT. Meta though, is my other favorite. The art and expression in that volume really rocks.
Also, I love Scarab. Up til that point, I only cared about Kabuki and Akemi, but Scarab made me love that character just as much. Which is why I look forward to more Agents stories.

Loved Scarab. First Kabuki story I read. Love the art, the style of writing, the characters, pretty much all the reasons I love the other Kabuki books.
The reason it's my favourite is probably that it is a fairly self contained story, easy to get into and fits right into the kabuki story without disrupting it at all. _________________ Joseph

Gotta go with Circle of Blood, man... nothing against your current artstyle, David, but I really dug on your pen-and-ink work. _________________ chris "mac" mccarver

Metamorphosis. It's just beautiful. There's something about it. _________________

i think metamorphosis was my favorite... i loved the artwork - it had some sense of closure to it as well in the story... and i liked the re-readability (is that a word?) of it... not that the others didn't have it, but after reading scarab, i immediately went back & reread metamorphosis. _________________ "the picture you see is no portrait of me it's too real to be shown to someone i don't know" |
