Alright, so here's the situation. While at SDCC I visited David Mack's booth, and bought the Kabuki issue released under "ICON". I liked it. I liked it enough that I want to hunt down the TPBs of all the earlier Kabuki stuff.

Now, none of the bookstore sites I've visited seem to have their shit together, as far as Vol. #s and such. What I need, is for someone to write me a list of the TPBs with their appropriate Vol. #s, so that if I buy one or two at a time, I can be sure I have all my ducks in a row...so to speak.

Thanks in advance,
Bigbeltz

PS: Here's a shitty pic of me meeting Bendis:

1 Circle of Blood (6-issue mini). [From Image Comics: Collecting all six issues of the first Kabuki series plus the hard to find prequel one-shot with new pages of art from scenes that for space reasons were left out of the original story. It also includes in-depth notes and story analysis about the subtext of the story. Circle of Blood recounts the origins of the government operative known as Kabuki who works in Japan's near future, It's an exploration of the relationship between Japan's government and organized crime on a truly epic scale!] ArtBomb review

2 Dreams (Kabuki Color Special; Dreams of the Dead; Kabuki 1/2; new story). [From Image Comics: Collecting four fully painted Kabuki stories (including a completely new story!) in a brand new and improved prestige edition with extra pages! Much more than the previous out-of-print 48-page Dreams paperback, this 128-page volume presents all of the very first-painted Kabuki books (Kabuki Color Special & Kabuki: Dreams of the Dead), but also the fully painted Kabuki #½, and an entire Brand New Kabuki story written and painted by David Mack, just for this volume! Also included in Kabuki for the first time ever, a completely autobiographical comic book story, written and drawn by David Mack, an in-depth Kabuki Spotlight and David Mack interview from France's Ekllipse Magazine, a gallery of original covers, an introduction by Brian Michael Bendis, and brand new afterword by David Mack, a brand new front and back cover (and lots of new art pages), and printed on new and improved, thicker high grade, archival paper. Having been out of print for some time, fans are looking for these early painted Kabuki stories and this book delivers with loads of extras and a brand new painted story!]

3 Masks of the Noh (4-issue mini; a Rick Mays, Buzz, Andrew Robinson, David Mack, Mshindo Kuumba, Caesar, Mike Bair, Mike Avon Oeming). [From Image Comics: This prestige format collects the complete Acts 1-4 of the early Kabuki: Masks of the Noh series. This prestige format includes all new extra pages such as a gallery section with art by David Mack, Terry Moore, Brian Stelfreeze, Dan Brereton, a behind-the-scenes look at preliminary designs and sketches, a gallery of the original covers, and an introduction.]

4 Skin Deep (3-issue mini). [From Image Comics: A woman whose face is horribly scarred finds herself in an institution for "defective" government agents. She (Kabuki) is interrogated to find out if she is hiding something to do with the nature of her scars, or if she is simply crazy. Isolated and psychologically tormented, her only comfort is found in a mystery friend who sends handwritten messages that are folded into origami animals. Or is it just another trick? This Collection: Now back in print! Collecting the entire Skin Deep series (and the Kabuki Fan Edition) in a brand new and improved prestige edition with extra pages! Having sold out of two entire previous print runs, this third printing includes for the first time ever: The entire painted story from the sold out Kabuki Fan Edition, a gallery of the original covers (including the cover art by ALEX ROSS), an Introduction by Alex Ross, a brand new afterword by David Mack, re-colored and re-mastered pages, a brand new front and back cover, preliminary sketches with notes on the story & art, original script pages, and printed on new and improved, thicker, high grade, archival paper.]

5 Metamorphosis (Kabuki 1-9). [From Image Comics: Looking for Kabuki 1-9? KABUKI: METAMORPHOSIS collects the entire story for the first time ever! Complete with over 40 brand new pages of artwork, sketches, character designs, in- depth commentary on the layers of story, and an insightful introduction by Bill Sienkiewicz (Daredevil, Elektra Assasin). At nearly 300 pages this is the largest and most comprehensive KABUKI compilation ever. Also features a brand new dust jacket painting by David Mack, embossed cover, special end pages, gallery of original covers, and lots more! As the acclaimed writer on Daredevil (and now as the new DD artist!) multiple award nominated David Mack has matured into one of the premiere modern storytellers. New readers are searching for Mack's Kabuki work and THIS Kabuki story.]

6 Scarab (Scarab 1-8; a Rick Mays). [From Image Comics: She is the bastard child of a head Noh Assassin and a Geisha - her mother murdered and her face horribly scarred by a dishonored half-brother. She wears the mask of a Kabuki to hide the scars, both internal and external, from the world. This Issue: Kabuki:Scarab picks up right where Kabuki: Metamorphosis left off and answers all the mysteries left dangling from that series. And Scarab is still a self-contained story, so even new readers can start with it. More than the original issues, this handsome 256 page archival hardcover includes a gallery of covers (including the Quesada variant), new pin ups, sketches and character designs, embossed cover, a brand new dust jacket painting by David Mack, and an insightful introduction by Paul Pope.]

Marvel

In April 2004, Kabuki was moved to Marvel Comics' new Icon imprint. Mack had already planned to relaunch the series with a new mini, The Alchemy, which is being resolicited by Marvel as the first six (or maybe more) issues of a new Kabuki ongoing (Volume 2, I figger).

Welcome to the family...

You certainly came in looking to read the right stuff!

Kabuki will knock your socks off on so many different levels... the story is fantastic, the art is beautiful and its just so damn moving.... The trades are worth every cent plus some...

Thanks. I basically just wiped my "Wants List" clean after SDCC. I got all of POWERS, all of Alias (cept for Vol. 1, which I had already), and DKSA. I must've been a favorite at the milehighcomics booth. Wink

The ICON issue 1 blew me away, and left me wanting a lot more (plus, Mack was nice enough to sign em for me and he threw in another comic for free. That alone makes me want to buy his work).

I just ordered 4 of the trades from amazon.com and the other 2 from barnesandnoble.com. I should have the complete Kabuki collection in a week or so (god bless the internet)

You will not regret it...

I somehow managed to avoid Kabuki until last November when I met David in Dallas... I knew I wanted to try it, but never could find it locally...

Picked up the first trade and got about a chapter into it before the urge to rush and buy the rest hit me...

Needless to say not only do I have them all now, but I've made my local comic shop start carrying them just incase there is someone else locally that wasnt buying it for the same reason I wasnt...

Plus, what's not to love about a guy that conspires with your wife to do something like this...

i completely agree... i really enjoyed rereading metamorphosis after i read the whole series once... being able to read something more than once & enjoying it even more the 2nd time is a sign of a good comic, imo.

i want an akemi drawing in my sig...

Welcome!

Thanks for following the new series, and picking up all the trades.

You can go to davidmack.net for a complete description of the books and ll kinds of other info and links.

Also, Rangerchic from this board has a great Kabuki site that has extensive information.

Please post what you think when you get a chance to read the other Kabuki volumes!

And please mention to your comic shop that you want them to continue ordering the new Kabuki series from Marvel ICON!

Good to see you in SD!

David
