hello all...

In Response To: Mack writing Ultimate X-Men!!!! YAY!!! (Jonathan Zylberberg)

First,
Thanks for all the kind regards about this.
I appreciate your open mindedness.
I want to reassure everyone that I am only writing the X book. Which doesn’t take me long. I am not drawing it. All my art efforts will be on the new Kabuki series.

I know that some of the long time Kabuki readers may think that the idea of me writing some stories in Ultimate X-men sounds strange, and I have to admit that when I was first offered the job, I probably had the same reaction. Brian Bendis suggested to me that I follow his run on Ultimate X-men. It wasn’t something that would have occurred to me on my own But Brian reminded me how fun it is to infiltrate the mainstream and that the Ultimate line is an opportunity to do new and unexpected things with the characters and to write from personal experience.
And this is a great excuse to again work with one of my oldest and dearest friends.

He keeps telling me that I need to step outside my comfort zone of my own characters and do these characters as a fun experiment.
We have some great stories for it.
And I will only do it as long as I think I have fun stories to tell that fit the format and characters.
Brian and Millar have set up some great possibilities for me to jump off from. One story is set in Japan.

As all my other time will be focused on Kabuki doing all the writing and painting myself, this should be a fun book for my collaboration experience with Brian Bendis.

Just thought I’d give you the heads up here. Let you know Kabuki is still my primary focus and a project that I will be doing now and for many years to come.

And this will be a fun collaborative project.

And you may have heard that when the Alias series comes to close (I think at issue #28?) and is then continued under the title “The Pulse”, I will not be doing the covers to “The Pulse”. It is going to be an amazing series, and I will still be reading it and I love to read Brian Bendis’ stories. And if “you are reading and enjoying Alias, I urge you to continue reading it under the new title of “The Pulse”. The stories will continue to be amazing and hilarious. I’ve always said I’d do the covers for Alias as long as the series ran or as long as Brian was writing it. And it was a lot of great fun. But the Pulse will have a new look for it (which I’m sure will be incredible), and I will be busy with the New KABUKI series.

Warmest regards,
David
