Just a fantastic issue. I don't mind the added wait for new issues when it's so very obvious there's so much work and love on each page. |
Yeah,
I liked the new art styles.
The brush and ink with the flat color in the kids book.
ANd the photo collage art work |
That's one of my favorite parts of Kabuki (and all of Mack's work, really), the varying art styles used to convey the story. It's amazing how well all of the styles blend together to create the story which is in turn even stronger because of it. Every bit of everytline on the page is used to convey emotion and/or plot points. I just love it. _________________ -Jim Clarke

Secret friend could refer to her creator making an appearance and giving her a new life.
This story works great on so many different levels..
I just wish I knew if "Mack" was saying what he did threateningly or if it was knowingly.
Consider also, while she's in the sky, that's the closest she'll be to her "creator" if you subscribe to that religious belief. So, the appearance isn't too odd.
Wouldn't it be weird if she had passed out on the plane from blood loss and was hallucinating/dreaming this stuff? It'd explain the imagery and theme possibly, after all the body uses dreams to go over the events of your life.
Either way, I'm half tempted to commission a sketch as a surprise birthday gift for someone.. I hadn't known how well David does likenesses.
Kudos on a great issue.. one day I'll write a letter  |
Hey!
I appreciate your thoughts on this for the issue!
It is good to see everyone's feedback on this.

Yeah,
I've been using her as reference for Kabuki in the drawings and actual photos of her for the last few years. In Metamorphosis and Alchemy. And even some photos of her in the second two stories in Dreams. |

Dan B wrote: | Great issue. The storybook was incredible. It'd be cool to see that printed on its own as a real children's book. I also found it cool that David Mack put himself into the comic. It's as if he's connecting Kabuki to the real world. Also with the mention of the replica mask and action figures. It seems as if kabuki could be a real person and is being affected by the real life products made about her. Great work, Mack. I can't wait for issue 4. |
Thanks.
I think you will really like issue 4.
And if there is enough demand for an actual SHY CREATURES book in full size children's book format, I'll make one and publish it. Probably through ICON.
Would people pick it up? |

Hopefully you can still find it.
And just so everyone knows: Kabuki: The ALchemy 1-3 can still be re-ordered if stores have sold out. |
