How it took me this long is beyond me. What a fucking spectacular book. Spectacular in every way. This book should win every award ever made, for anything, ever. It should be read by everyone. It should be taught in schools all over the world. It should be mandatory reading for every human being. Am I suggesting that Kabuki could perhaps, save the world? You know I am.

As much as I loved Circle of Blood, I think I enjoyed Metaphorisis even more. Enjoy!

Aarghh! I have Dreams, Masks of Noh, and Scarab, but I won't read them until I buy Circle of Blood which is on order! I wanna read them all as they were published.

Not up to it, but looking forward to it like you wouldn't believe.

First, I just want to say that your post in response to Circle of Blood shows that you are smart and that you have good taste Smile

Thanks for taking the initiative to read my work. Let me know what you think of the other books. I like to think that it improves as it goes.
Best,
David

I don't think that it's technically accurate that Circle of Blood, on its own, could save the world. I think that CoB could solve the world's problems, but Metamorphosis is the book that would remake the world into a whole new, better place when the flames have cooled.

Damn, that sucks. My friend sheared the cover of my copy of Watchmen off by accident. Still, it's worth it to get people into good books.

Hyde,
If you show up at a con I'm at and remind me of that, I'll give you a replacement copy.

In the meantime, it is still fun to read, even if the pages get out of order Smile
It's like the remix.

By the way, thanks for introducing it to other readers.

After I give you the replacement copy, you can pass on your remix copy to a friend again.

That's exactly why Murdock Girl says you're a true gentleman, you have so much respect for the readers and you show that by coming on the board and encouraging people to read your stuff. Class up the ass.

Gotta agree, CoB is one of the most brilliant pieces of work EVER! And Mack is damn cool, he was extra nice to me at a SDCC many years ago when I gave him printouts of reviews of his stuff I wrote on my crappy website (PixelPlanet, which is long gone now...thanks, divorce laws!).

I need to get to a comic book store (haven't been in one in over two years) and get the Kabuki trades I don't have and get caught up on this stuff. I really miss comics some times. Someone help me find a better job! j/k Twisted Evil
