I read them all last weekend. Couldn't put the damn things down. I loved them.
That said, if you're expecting a more 'mainstream' comic as far as subject matter and story flow are concerned then it might not be for you. I'd say that if you enjoy stuff like Matt Wagner's Grendel, then Kabuki will most likely be right up your alley. _________________ -- J. R.

i agree... since i love the shit out of kabuki, i tried to get my guy to read them as well. he really, really got into circle of blood... BUT almost quit reading after dreams... he agreed the art was beautiful... but the story became a little too abstract for him... (& i think he has a.d.d. )
luckily, he was pulled back in after masks of the noh - which i think was his favorite book. so, i think if you're expecting a typical mainstream comic... yeah, what j.r. scherer said... _________________ "the picture you see is no portrait of me it's too real to be shown to someone i don't know" |

I'm glad to hear you'll pick it up
Please let me know what you think.
If any of you are at any conventions, please stop by and say hello. I'll be happy to give you some free stuff to check it out. Some free issues or sketch books or throw in a print. |

Yeah, that's true.
I know Kabuki is not everybody's cup of tea. It is very non-mainstream.
If you only like a big Michael Bay explosion filled blockbuster film, Kabuki is probably not your thing. But if you like all Kubrick's films, I think you will dig Kabuki. |

Hunh.
Aside from Spartacus, I haven't liked a single Kubrick film, and aside from the Bad Boys movies and Pearl Harbor I really dig Michael Bay films.
And I'm a Kabuki nut now. Explain. _________________ -- J. R.

I'm gonna push it on my 16 year old cousin.
I'm her dealer. (She's unemployed so she counts on me for her comic fix when she comes to visit.)
I'm gonna get her hooked. I got extra copies for her.
I will make her read it until she loves it as much as I do. _________________ "Okay, when *I'm* marvelling at the immaturity, be scared." -Xander "Bargaining I."
