Holy crap, all this time I've been reading your name as "evilborislobo", I was always like "So is this guy really named Boris or what?" I think I might be a little dyslexic. o.O

Apart from that fucking glue.

So who cares?, do you have the hardcovers or the softcovers? If the hardcovers, then how are they? And if the softcovers, have any tried falling apart on you?

EDIT: Didn't see that last post. Out of print? Forever? Fuck. Sad



hey all,

I haven't had any problem with the Image paperbacks that I have.
We've sold close to 100,000 volume ones over the years.
So I guess every now and then there may be a glitch.

THIS IS NO PROBLEM FOR YOU.
If you have a faulty copy, just return it to your store, and they can get a replacement from Image at no charge.

If you have any problem with this, let me know, and I will be happy to replace it.

If you bought it from me at a con, next time you see me in person, I will replace it at no charge.



As for the hardcovers...
They are great! They are all numbered on the spine and the spine dressing design matches.
All the future Hardcovers will also match the same spine design.

They all have dust jackets. And the actual hardcover books are embossed with cool designs. A few more production bells and wistles too with the opening end pages.

Thanks for reading the first volume!

You store should have no problem replacing it. If there is a problem, let me know and I'll fix it or get it fixed.

Thanks!

David

David, you are a class act. I'm very pleased to hear that Kabuki will be getting hardcover collections under Marvel Icon. The current hardcovers sound very sweet, I shall continue collecting the series in that format - infact, I'll buy them directly from davidmack.net assuming all is in stock when I get the cash together.

Below are the summaries that appeared on the back of the Kabuki trade paperbacks:

Vol. 1 - Japan. The future. A new age of corporate feudalism. The worlds of business, organized crime and politics now exist in a delicate interdependence. Enter the Noh, a government agency that secretly polices that balance of worlds.

Kabuki, an operative of the Noh, becomes deeply affected by the death of her mother and can only relate to the world through the security of a mask. She embarks on a quest to come to terms with her family, history, culture and her mother's death...even if her personal crusade brings her in direct conflict with the powers she serves.

A mix of historical mythology, political intrigue, corporate espionage and familial duty, elegantly told through the haunting lens of a child's fairy tale.

The first chapter in one of the most critically acclaimed comic series of the nineties.


Vol. 2 - Dreams is a mix of poetry, Japanese mythology and a modern near-death experience told in a diverse array of painted media, layered with psychological subtext and graphic invention.

A horribly scarred woman has a vision of the afterlife in which she is visited by her dead mother, and then returns to life with a new sense of purpose. A personal tale of love, familial duty, and self-discovery, elegantly told through the masks and metaphors of the Japanese Ghost Story.

The long awaited second volume in one of the most critically acclaimed comic series of the nineties.


Vol. 3 - Kabuki, an operative of the Noh, has disappeared. Her quest to come to terms with her history has put her in direct conflict with the powers she serves. The other Noh Agents are sent to search for her. The trail leads the through a labyrinth of corporate espionage, conflicting government agencies, and the Japanese underworld.

Operatives from a government agency in Japan shake down Japan's criminal underworld in an effort to track down a rogue agent who used to be their ally.


Vol. 4 - In an institution for renegade agents, a horribly scarred woman faces a psychological showdown with her interrogating analyst.

Isolated, tormented and only able to relate to the world through the security of a mask, Kabuki's only comfort is found in a mystery friend who sends inspirational notes that launch her to a new level of self-actualization.

Or is it just another trick?


Vol. 5 - In an institution for defective government agents, a horribly scarred woman faces a psychological showdown with her interrogating analyst, meets the other "defective" operatives, discusses the nature of identity, quantum physics, time and the meaning of life. But can she escape her captors before her former comrades track her down to silence her?

A very personal metaphorical tale of self-actualization told in a diverse array of art media, layered in subtext, metaphor and Japanese culture.


Vol. 6 - Growing up in the subcultures of urban Japan, a young woman journeys through the underworld of organized crime, secret societies, government operatives, awkward friendships and young romance.

A mix of crime fiction and personal duality elegantly told through the masks and metaphors of Japanese mythology and pop culture.


Vol. 7 (current series)
#1: It's a new start for Kabuki and the perfect jumping-on issue for new readers! When you are a former operative for a Japanese agency, how do you start a new life? You've heard about all the awards... You've heard everyone talking about why Kabuki is so amazing and mind-blowing... Now is the chance to see what all the talk is about! From the award-winning writer and artist of Daredevil that brought you "Parts of a Hole," "Wake Up," and "Echo," this new series marks the 10th anniversary of Kabuki and features a special chronology of Kabuki's early beginnings, including never-before-published Kabuki art by Brian Michael Bendis.

#2: An all-new start for Kabuki and the perfect jumping-on point for new readers! After escaping the institution for defective government agents, Kabuki follows Akemi’s directions to meet someone who can give her a new identity and a plane ticket out of Japan to evade the Noh and start a new life. But just who is this mysterious new character? Join the award-winning writer and artist of Daredevil: Parts of a Hole, Daredevil: Wake Up, and Daredevil: Echo as he marks the 10th anniversary of Kabuki! As a bonus, this issue features extras with early Kabuki art by Brian Michael Bendis! You’ve heard about all the awards… You’ve heard everyone talking about why Kabuki is so amazing and mind-blowing… Now is the chance to see what all the talk is about!

- - - - -

Mr. Mack has stated that volumes 1, 4, 5 and 7 are the part of the core Kabuki storyline (since they focus on the title character) while the other volumes explore one of Kabuki's dreams (vol. 2) or the other agents of the Noh (volumes 3 & 6).

If you have any questions about Kabuki or anything about David Mack, the writer, artist and creator of the series, please let me know Smile

Best,

I don't believe this is true.

I was under the impression these were still available. I know I've seen David with them and they are listed in the Diamond Star Catalog.

They are all in print except for volume 1.
The plan is to print more vol 1 Hardcovers when the current printing of the paperback sells through. So maybe 6 months to a year before the volume 1 is back in print in Hardcover form.

All the rest are completely available in hardcover.

Any store can order them at any time.

Thanks!
