Posted: Aug 23, 2004 5:41 am Post subject: Kabuki (when to read question) |
|
|
So, I've read almost all my comics for July (which is okay, because my August comics will be sent to me at the end of this week) but I've been saving Kabuki. Now, my question is this: Should I read it now or save it?
I ask because I've only read Circle of Blood. Should I wait, buy the other trades, and read the series in order--or should I just go ahead and dive in right now?

I didn't read any of the other Kabuki's at all, but picked up the new one 'cause pp won't shut up about it, and I wasn't lost at all... You don't need to read the other books to understand the new one. Fricken awesome though!!! Love it already, so addicted. I've been going around and making all my non-comic friends read it... and actually tomorrow I'm going to school and giving my prof. a copy to read (he's into comics, but only reads stuff he hears about from others) |

Read it. It might make you want Meta though.

lol yeah, I already emailed my comic store and told them to get all the others for me. I just love the play on words and the use of collage in Kabuki: The Alchemy... it's just really incredible. |

Colin read it and subsequently sought out David Mack last week to tell him that the book almost made him want to give up doing comics, it's so good.
We went out today and bought Colin some fancy paper to rip up, Kabuki-style.

Yeah, I really like collaging. It give texture. And dude, the multitude of mediums used in Kabuki just kicks major. I mean, come on there were bugs in there! I wonder where Mack got them?

I'm loving Circle of Blood right now. Makes me wonder why the hell I never picked these up before! I guess I'll be making up for it now...plus it doesn't hurt that my wife thinks he's a stud, so all I have to do is this:
ME: Honey? Can I go buy some comic books?
JENNIFER: How much you planning on spending?
ME: About sixty bucks.
JENNIFER: $60 bucks!?!?! We need to buy groceries!!!
ME: They're all by David Mack!
JENNIFER: Oh, well, we can live off of Ramen Noodles for a while...

Hey thanks for getting it!
You can read it on its own, but I highly recommend reading Metamorphosis and Circle of Blood, and/or Skin Deep. Especially Meta and Circle. After those the new story will have new layers for you.
Keep me updated!
Best,
David |

Is Metamorphosis the second volume? Because if it is, my brother already mailed that to me. Maybe I'll wait for that one.

Yeah, I just read all six of the Kabuki trades this weekend.
David Mack is like the perfect human being.
I'd hate him, but he's also a super nice guy. Damn his eyes. _________________ -- J. R.
