spoilers (Victor Destefano) : I just got back from the comic shop and I could not wait : Man, this is one of those rare issues that has me : The last thing I'll say about the story is that it : What I said is probably confusing, but I don't want to : The art: Mays is up there with Mignola, Risso and Frusin. : The three styles used in this issue(Mays' cartoon , : Then I look at Mack's Kabuki and it feels like I'm Thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate your kind words and your
perspective.
I appreciate the "it feels Japanese" comment about the ending to this
story. ANd your comments about the differences in traditions of story and
cinema in East and West.
The outline of this story (and the ending) stayed true to the way I
outlined it about five years ago. And the story (including the ending) was
indeed influenced by eastern (both Japanese and Chinese) cinema,
folktales, and story traditions, that I was immersed in at that time.
There were several times in the past year when I questioned myself about
the possibility of changing it, (for reasons you can probably understand
after reading it) but I felt that I had to stay true to the story, and the
character, and any change in that ending would have felt like a comprimise
or an easy way out.
I'm very pleased that this issue was your favorite, and that you
enjoyed the different art styles. I'm very happy about this Scarab story.
I'm pleased that the entire story has its own flavor, and that each single
issue has its own pace and tone and ambiance, different from the
preceeding Scarab issues. I think that each issue reads at different
speeds, different depths, and on different character levels, and on
different emotional levels. I'm lucky that I have readers adventurous
enough to stick with a story that changes and evolves in these regards
from issue to issue.
And as different as it is, the story fits into and enriches the
preceeding Kabuki stories with new info from a new perspective. So on
those levels it succeeds for me. ------ Messages In This Thread ------
