This arc so far has really got me pulled in. I'm enjoying the exploration of Echo and who she and where she's going. I think David is certainly just as strong with this arc as he is with Kabuki of tying a lot of elements into the story and art. I do think this would have worked much better as an independent miniseries, but just a small complaint. With Echo on her Vision Quest and the impending meeting with Wolverine I'm excited to see how it all gets pulled together.

David you don't dissapoint and for anyone who shyed away from these issues (as I know some have) I urge you to check it out. It does tie in where Bendis was going and is current in the storyline. I'm impressed that these issues seem just as inspired as the Kabuki stuff, even thought Kabuki seems much more personal.

Kudos!

I never got into Kabuki.That being said I love this arc.Dave's art really does suck you in to what's going on in the story,and I like all the little things going on around the focus,it's like a treasure hunt for more info.I also like the fact that it's being done in the Daredevil series instead of a stand alone series.
My only complaint would be you need a really good light to read it. Either that or I'm getting to old and need glasses.

Hey,
Thanks for the kind words!  I appreciate it.  I'm glad your digging this arc.  I think the next issue comes out next week.

If you do like my work on this, but you haven't tried Kabuki, I hope you will give it a read.  I think KABUKI Metamorphoisis is probably the best example of my work.

Let me know what you think.

And of course, I have the new Kabuki series that begins in January and is in the current PREVIEWS catalogue (and on the cover).  It continues right where KABUKI Metamorphosis leaves off, but it is also a fresh start and a good jump on point for new readers.

Kindest regards,
David

TSchloendorn,
There are currently five trades out for Kabuki, listed chronologically here at nohtv.com. (Kabuki Agents: Scarab isn't listed yet.)

I recommend reading the series in order myself, everything makes much more sense that way.  If you don't want to read through the entire series in order to understand what's going on then Metamorphosis is a good jumping on point.  If you're interested in learning more about the other Noh agents and not necessarily Kabuki herself, then I recommend Masks of the Noh or Kabuki Agents: Scarab.

Hope this helped out some!

:)

Hey,
Thanks for the interest in my Kabuki work.

There are six collected volumes so far.

Vol 1  KABUKI - Circle of Blood
Vol 2 KABUKI- Dreams
Vol 3  KABUKI- Masks of the Noh
Vol 4  KABUKI- Skin Deep
Vol 5 KABUKI- Metamorphosis
Vol 5 KABUKI- Scarab

The first, of course has the in depth origin and foundation of the story.  And each of the books fit into continuity and build on the previous books, but each can also be read on it's own as a self contained story.

And I like to think that they improve as they go, and Metamorphosis is my favorite.  Meta, Circle and Skin Deep, are the most important corner stones of the story.  But I believe if you read any of them, that you will love it enough to want to read all of the other stories.  So if you are that kind of reader, you may prefer to start from the beginning.

Each Kabuki collection uses a different art style, story tone, and storytelling pace.  Like each one is a different era of the character's life and has its own unique atmosphere.

Dreams collects my first ever painted comic book work.  And Skin Deep and Metamorphosis are also painted and mixed media.  So if you like my work mostly because of the painted art, you might want to try these first and maybe just start with Skin and Meta.

The new Kabuki series in January starts right where these leave off.

Thanks for taking the initiative to search out my work.

Kindest regards,
David

Hey Mack, I bought your first Kabuki volume via Amazon some weeks back, and I was blown away.  Almost to the point that I was disappointed that I hadn't decided to buy it sooner.  And although I'm slow getting around to the next collection, rest assured I will be there, especially since it seems to be the opinion that they get even better as they go.

Plus, I like your Echo run :)
