Wow, how things have changed...
so yea i have been busy working on the big BBC antho book, if you haven't heard, avatar press has been named our publisher. The profits of said book (350 pages folks!) are going to ACTOR and CBLDF. whoo hoo and the pros that are donating their time reads like a who's who list of the industry.

so ive been busy and not floating around much lately...
I HAVE MISSED YOU MY BOARD FAMILY!

but i have made some stops to the store(have to get my weekly crack..er...comics)
I found some back issues of Kabuki, and im planning to get the TPBs. I read the invisble friend (issue number 2) and the one right before it...just completly amazed...
but im lost. So tell me my board family, whick Kabuki trades should i pick up first? I want to get the story straight! but the artwork....phew! BETTER THAN MACKS ARTWORK ON DD.
and we all know how much i love Macks artwork on DD.

oh and mack....they are wonderful!!! i hope you don't mind being my inside joke in "Computer Glitches" haha.

Circle of Blood is my fave--I think Mack said Metamorphosis is the best combination of his art and story.


thanks

Macks work on Kabuki is easily among my favorite comics of all time. Its hard to pick a favorite, but I would lean towards either Circle of Blood or Metamorphosis. I've got more than a few examples of his art framed on the walls of my house. Non-comics people are always impressed and then shocked to find out where it came from.


As to the order of the trades. I think they're numbered on the spines, arn't they? The hard covers certainly are. In any case, they are ordered as follows: Circle of Blood, Dreams, Masks of the Noh, Skin Deep, Metamorphosis, and Scarab.

Enjoy. They're beautifull work.

Circle of Blood first... David personally suggested books 4 & 5 next, then go back and pick up 2 & 3 later...

And who called Mack a hack? Dont make me have to hurt somebody...

wow,
thanks for the info guys.
as to your question jeffery....way back when, my dead gay son (wink wink) phoque something or another said that and then someother asshole a month later came on and said that (on bendis' board no less...i mean these guys are good friends, hello how stupid are ya ppl?) and phoque came back and ripped that new guy a new asshole.
it was sweet.
if anyone can find that thread...i bet some people would like to read it over again for a few kicks.

ok, well i had 1, 2 (imaginiary friend) the shop didn't have 3 but i just finish reading four and five.
Im addicted.

Its like the crack aid i use to drink at work.
That's a funny story..... You see my best friend and i worked at at an ice rink/entertainment place (if any of you have been to the gurnee mills/great america mecca in gurnee IL you will know it at RINKSIDE SPORTS) we had blue kool aid that was ,,,,,, i swear liqued blue sugar. Once , one of our security guy buddies called it liquid crack.....and then crack aid was born.
Boy do i miss it.
But now i work in a coffee shop....and we all know how much i love coffee (almost .....Mack beats coffee...and coffee ranks pretty high there!)

Hi MG! AND ALL of you...

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm very glad you were able to try Kabuki. Kabuki is definitely the best example of my work in comics.

Metamorphosis is my favorite as it is probably THE SINGEL best presentation of my work in comic books. Each of the Kabuki books fits in continuity and builds on the previous story, but each book is also it’s owned self contained story, with it’s own unique art style and storytelling tone that contrasts to the others. So you can start with any of them.

If you are only going to start with one, buy Metamorphosis. If you wouldn't mind picking up two books to start with, get Circle of Blood and Meta. If three, get Cicle, Meta, and Skin Deep (as far as the progression of story, these three are the most important). But I like to think that any story you buy first will just make you want to read ALL of them Smile

The order is very simple. Each volume is #ed on the spine, and any Kabuki book has a list of the order of all of the books.

Here is a list of the Kabuki books and page counts:
Vol 1- Circle of Blood (272 p)
Vol 2- Dreams (128 p)
Vol 3- Masks of the Noh (128 p)
Vol 4- Skin Deep (128 p)
Vol 5- Metamorphosis (288 p)
Vol 6- Scarab (288 p)

I’d like to remind readers that all the Kabuki stories are collected in paperback and hardcover. If you have a chance, it will be rewarding to read them before KABUKI- The Alchemy ships in January.

Thanks a bunch for the LOVE!!!

Happy reading to all,
David
