Response to Michael in Post 820:

THanks for reading (and rereading) Kabuki.

I'm sure my recent DD story will be collected in trade paperback. I have no idea when. But I was always under the impression that Marvel Knights plans to collect it.

Sorry I can't help with the rat sketch. I don't ever do any commissions as I'm booked solid on deadlines for my printed work.

All the comic book stores recieved their advance copy of DD #16 today. So I guess that means they will hit stores next week.

I saw it today at my local store (COmic Book WOrld). Printed great!

Let me know what you think

Response to post 824:

I've been speaking to DC/Wildstorm about taking measures to eliminate the confusion of them crediting my name on a Star Trek book. I've been in the comic's industry much longer than this other David Mack and I do not want it to confuse my readers. I appreciate that he may have his own name recognition with his Star Trek work in other mediums and industries, but...

I work hard to make sure that every comic book with my name has a level of quality and my own personal identity. I take it very seriously that my readers can rely on that when they order, purchase or read a book with my name. I intend to take all steps possible within legal bounds to insure that the name recognition that I built in this industry is not diluted, and that my readers are not tricked or confused.

I appreciate DC/Wildstorm for taking the first step in correcting this matter by making it a point on the DC newsletter. But I have the precedent on my own name in this industry, and there needs to be a SIGNIFICANT name distinction on all things credited in this matter. For instance: THere are other Jim Lee's and Frank Millers, and Alan Moores, but they would have sense enough to know that using that exact name likeness in this industry would be unfair to readers and retailers. Not to mention the person who built that name in this industry.

Hi Spidey,

Doing fine. Kabuki Agents: SCARAB #7 should be out this week. As should my DD #16. Also I have a new Swampthing cover out this week.

After Scarab #8, I'll release the Scarab Artbook and then the other projects that I've lined up and been working on. THis con season the focus will be on the Scarab series and DD # 16-19 (My run with Bendis).

Thanks for the congrats on the new Eisner nomination.

HHH:

Glad you like DD #16. Thanks

david what do you think of stan and his movie are you thinking of making a come back with a dd flick?

RESPONSE:

Hi there. By Stan and his movie, are you refering to the Spiderman film? If so, I look forward to seeing it. Not sure what you mean by a "comeback" with a DD flick. THere is a DD film script in circulation right now. But I'm busy with my Kabuki film.

Response to AH:

Anna! Great to finally meet you. I had a great time at the con and I'm glad you were able to attend the whole time. I told Andy Lee about seeing all his work in your sketch book and I told him that he should attend the next Wondercon with me. I think he will. We hope to see you again next year. Thanks for the interest in my work!
