I loved Mack's Parts of a Hole story arc. I've only read the first Kabuki, but thought it was neat. Can't say I've read much else though..........

QUOTE(Mark Millar @ Oct 19 2004, 09:34 AM) Wow. This is great. Thanks, Dave. PS kabuki is the best indie book of the last ten years (and yes I still class it as an indie book). Quitely and I read them all on the 22 hour flight home from Australia and it was the only thing that stopped us killing each other. Thanks, Mark! I appreciate the kind words. The indy classification is fine by me. I've always had complete and utter creative independence on Kabuki, so it certainly feels independent ![]() Give my regards to Quitely! Best, David |

I'd like to go back some time. Hopefully you can attend when we do it again. Best, David |

Kabuki is a great series IMO, well written and drawn/painted. I think of the books I read only Bendis' Alias could match it in terms of complex female characters. It's a good western interpretation of an eastern culture (without picking any Manga up).
To anyone who hasn't read it start at Circle Of Blood which is still one of my favourite trades (with some nice afterword at the end which gives an interesting interpretation into that first trade). -------------------- My Amazon Christmas wish list: click here
This radio station was named Kowalski. In honour of the last American hero, to whom Speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when he’s gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him... |

QUOTE(Paul King @ Oct 19 2004, 03:44 PM) Kabuki is awesome. Not a quick or even easy read, but an intelligent, thought provoking and intensely beutiful book. I was a little "off-put" by the first random issue I picked up, and I can see if you were looking for some straight-forward superhero storytelling MACK's style might not be your cup of tea. However, for those willing to invest the time and patience to imerse themselves in the land of NOH they will be highly rewarded. David, I'm really enjoying the current series and the continuing stories of Kabuki, but, I was wondering if you have any plans to go back and flesh out the remaining Agents of Noh? Thanks for the kind feedback. I do indeed plan to do a story on each of the other characters. The way I did with Scarab. The plan is to continue to alternate the stories as I have ( I do a Kabuki story that I write and draw, and then altenate with a story of one of the Noh that I write with another artist, and then back to my story and art on Kabuki. And so on). I've done some pretty in depth interviews about this kind of thing and other Kabuki plans. You can probably find them on SimplyJD.com or Shannon's (also a member of this board) Kabuki site, or my site davidmack.net (which will have info and descriptions of each of the Kabuki collections for anyone wanting to learn about them), or the new site by another member of this board David Thornton called davidmackguide.com, which will have every single interview and news item archived. And he updates the news daily! I hope that is helpful. Thanks for reading my work. Warmest regards, David |

How many THOUSANDS of copies are sold of Kabuki (and for good reason). But an "indie" book? Ummm... I don't think so. Not quite mainstream, but not quite indie either. Kabuki is a class in itself. IMHO, anyways. I'll accept that classification as well! ![]() |

QUOTE(a.sharma @ Oct 19 2004, 08:36 PM) I've never read any of Mack's daredevil issues, but the first two issues of the new Volume of Kabuki on Icon are incredible. Never read anything previous either, so far it hasn't taken away from my enjoyment. I will say that it's sort of artsy-fartsy in style and tone. I love it, but i can see how people wouldn't. -amit I'm very glad that you enjoyed the first two issues of the new Kabuki series at Icon. The new series is designed to still be accessable to entirley new readers. So It is good to hear that the new series is still fun for someone who has read none of the previous collections. I try to make each collection have its own theme, and its own self-contained story (and its own contrast in art and story style) . But each of them do fit in continuity and build on each other as well. For the new series at Icon, each of the issues will also contrast in terms of the pacing and storytelling style, and art style, from issue to issue. You'll start to see what I mean when #3 comes out ![]() If you are liking the current story, and want to read more Kabuki, I suggest either METAMORPHOSIS, which is the collections that comes right before the current Alchemy story, or KABUKI: Circle of Blood, which is the very first volume. Kindest regards, David |

When you meet a creator and he gives you three books and a print after you buy one book and a sketch it's hard not to become a fan. I've recently collected Mack's Daredevil and am now picking up the Kabuki Icon series along with any back issues I can find.
PS: I have the print framed but have yet to be able to put it up in the new house and I have turned my friends on to Mack's work. This post has been edited by ianrmac: Oct 20 2004, 07:10 AM |

Glad you enjoyed Sydney, and Manly beach too. -------------------- |
