Kabuki: The Alchemy #1 Spotlighted
DiamondComics.com posted the cover for the November 2003 issue of Previews, which features artwork from Kabuki: The Alchemy #1. The site selected the issue as one of the January Gems and stated the issue in the Splash section:
	A New Mask from the Mack-Daddy David Mack’s Kabuki is sexy. It’s a comic with style, laced with violence, high-tech weaponry, conflicting organizations, and Japanese history. It is unique. And it has evolved from black and white inked books first published by Caliber Comics into full-color storylines now available in trade paperbacks. With its home at the big "I," David Mack’s Kabuki mythology sheds a new skin with the introduction of the six-issue bi-monthly mini-series Kabuki: The Alchemy. We are re-introduced to the beautiful assassin, who is a product of rape, and horribly scarred at childhood. Her tale is a tragedy, as the poor woman did not have the benefit of a mother. She was raised by an eccentric General, and it was her own half-brother who savaged both her face and psyche. Terror and cruelty, however, did not make Kabuki a broken doll. A life of pain shaped her into a killing machine. And with The Alchemy, readers will see what there is to fear behind the mask! This series also includes a special chronology of the evolution of Kabuki’s early beginnings. Look for Kabuki: The Alchemy from Image Comics in the Premiere section of Previews!
