I understand.  well I guess it is only a week.  I hope your store can make sure to keep them all in stock after that.  

DV,
Thanks for the kind words.  It does get much better.  I feel that the first one, Circle of Blood is good for that time, but I was only 20 when I did it, and while I can still see the charm in it, I can also see how I would approach some things more deftly now.  These books are sort of my own diary where I see how I have progressed and every now and then some panels or words are like looking at a wierd haircut when i was six.

Get KABUKI Skin Deep and KABUKI Metamorphosis next if you get the chance.  Meta is a lot more evolved as my abilities as a writer and artist go.  And Skin Deep is really like the intro to Meta.

You'll want to get the others too, but these are sore of the cornerstones after the first one, so if you see them, you can pick them up and read them, and read the others later, and it will still all make sense.   Just make sure to read Scarab LAST!  It riffs off of Meta a bit and is an excercise in a shift in point of view cantrasted between those two books.

Best,
DM

I just wanted to provide a link here to writer Steve Niles' and artist Ben Templesmith's forum which has a thread about Mack's Daredevil run.  Lots of praises and criticisms. Check it out.

Steve Niles.com --- Mack's Run on DD


Oh, and if you don't know who Steve and Ben are, then I suggest checking out 30 Days of Night and Dark Days.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

30 days of night was a cool story. I'm wiating for the trade on Dark Days though. I found that 30 read better that way.

I loved Skin Deep and Metamorphasis is on my Christmas list.  :D

The Daredevil series has been really beautiful so far.  I just love how it put us right in the character's head.  I recently sent the first issue of the recent Daredevil arc plus my Wake Up trade to a friend from grad school.  She's now an art professor and quite the art snob.  She was blown away by what she saw.  She called me and was all, "Okay, I've seen the light.  Comics can be art."  Thanks to David for helping me win a very old argument. :D

Thanks for reading.  If you liked Skin Deep, You will LOVE Metamorphosis.  Skin is sort of like the intro act to Meta.  All the questions you wondered about in Skin are answered in Meta.  And then Some!  

I recomend reading Skin before Meta for those that get the chance. But Meta is definitely my fave, and probably the best example of my work in comics.  As a writer.  And as an artist.  I like to think that if I've done my job, they are indistinguishable.  You can't tell where one stops and the other begins.  Meta is definitly my best example of this.  I believe it becomes a different kind of reading experience the deeper you get into it.

Let me know what you think of it!
