Japanese culture is amazing and here is a so called "culturecomic" packed with it. So far, I've only gotten through Circle of Blood, Dreams, and Masks of the Noh, and of the 3 "Circle" was my favorite. Kabuki's origin is nothing short of excellent and the ending was too stunning for words. Just when it seems like the story could have ended with "Circle," "Dreams" adds more to the story (beautifully painted Mark artwork by the way) and bridges the gap to Masks of the Noh. I'm dying to read Skin Deep and see what happens next. Pick it up, you'll see what I mean. |
My favorite was Metamorphosis! I had the most vivid dreams after reading that book. LOVE MACK! LOVE KABUKI! The man is a genius! | Amen...maybe your not crazy after all denny |
I own the hardcover, not the issues too!  |
then my first instinct was right..your a fool...a damned fool...
actually...HC's of Kabuki would be pretty cool...there is supposed to be an oversized art book coming out too...that will be on my coffee table...well if it comes with a coffee table that is...otherwise i guess it will be on my endtable _________________

I had no idea there was a Kabuki hardcover. Oh well. I started too late in the game to get the back issues so I picked up the trades of Circle, Dreams, and Masks. I have Scarab too but I want to read them chronologically, Skin Deep and Meta first. Meta I am really looking forward too. _________________ "I can't take no more, what are we fighting for?

Kabuki is a fantastic book that works on so many levels...
I should re-read them before the new series comes out...
Definetly one of my ten favorite comics... _________________ ___Ryan Hoffman___

Does anyone know when Alchemy is going to start getting released and if Mack is doing art chores/painting this one like Dreams? It's gotta be tough considering he's finishing up a gig on DD and starting one on Ultimate X-Men. _________________ "I can't take no more, what are we fighting for?

I just wanted to say some words of thanks to the people on this board who have been starting threads discussing Kabuki. I really appreciate the kind words, and the initiative to check out the Kabuki books.
I've been out of town during the Holidays, so that is why I haven't responded, but I noticed there were like four really good Kabuki related threads in the last couple of weeks. It is great to see so many new readers learning about Kabuki for the first time.
And SDFAIN: I saw the post where you explained how you mentioned to your local store to order more Kabuki in advance. That was really nice of you the way you did that. I've often used that same approach and guarantee. And the retaileres always sell out of the books they ordered, but more importantly, they see the real capacity for the readership, and they order even more in reorders. Thank you very much for you pro-active approach in that.
About some of the questions on this thread: There are indeed Hardcover and paperback collections of each and every one of the Kabuki volumes.
Kryptic, The Alchemy is written and painted by me. I've been working on it for a while. Thanks for you interest in it. Let me know what you think of the other books!
Thanks all, for giving your tesamonials of Kabuki to the others on the board!
Happy New Year!
