LOL Mr. Mack, you are just too fast for me!
Anyway, tonight's news update also includes some of Mr. Mack's thoughts about his upcoming projects, such as the Art of David Mack books, as well as information about future convention appearances, a short Q&A about Echo and Kabuki plus much more.
If anyone has any questions about the news update, please let me know

Looks awesome! Thanks for the preview. I finally got to the store to pick up #3. It's the first thing I'm going to read.  _________________

Wow, David, that's one of your best works. I love the design (though, I'm strangely no longer attracted to Akemi.. tabun, oisha ni iku beki).
One thing. You don't need the text. I know each issue is someone's first. But the text is hurting your art. I think its ugly. On all the covers, I long for the text to dissappear. Please consider removing the quotes. Psychologically, I think the cover is stronger without them. _________________

When Mr. Mack forwarded the images, he noted that the JPG with the four quotes is for the solicitation, which will appear in the Marvel Previews catalog.
Since he also included an image of the cover artwork without the quotes, I believe the issue's cover will not feature the quotes.

Nice looking cover, and To David, great work on the site.
I agree with Goodman that the quotes and text take away from the image on the cover, this one being for solicitation i understand.
As to the Artbook, what I'd like to see are some of the covers, with some making of shots. Also a sketchbook section much like reflections. Maybe some never before seen/exclusive art.
I'd do a seperate "Kabuki, the covers" book.
That's just my opinion. _________________

Someday I'd love to see a hardcover of Mack's covers and stuff.
No matter what the price, I'd be worth it! |

What he's referring to about the Q&A for the Art of David Mack book is the discussion about it on my Q&A thread on this board.
If you haven't seen it yet, please drop by that thread and let me know your opinions about the format that you would prefer for the big art book.
Thanks |

Yeah,
the image with the quotes is a reduced version of the cover with space at the bottom for the solicitation text. And it has some blurbs that I hope will be helpful to retailers when ordering the book from the marvel catalogue.
It will have a description of #5 below it and also list #1-4 as still available to order.
The larger image without the quotes is the format and proportion for the cover. Though it will have the Kabuki logo and Icon logo.
But I don't plan for the Kabuki logo to be overlapping the image as it is in the solicitation ad. |
