David Mack Drops Kabuki Storyline Hints
While talking about Kabuki: The Alchemy #5, David Mack stated:
	You can sort of track Akemi as she moves around the globe. The first letter from her is from Japan, but then each are from a different country, which should beg the question from Kabuki: Just what is Akemi doing?

Artwork for Mid-Ohio Con Program Cover

Thanks to David Mack for forwarding the artwork for the Mid Ohio Con's program, which features Mr. Mack's painting of Death that is based on Mandy Amano and was created for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's 2005 San Diego Comic Con auction.

Shirts Available at Wizard World Texas
When asked if which shirts will be available at his Wizard World Texas table, which will be next to Beckett Comics, David Mack replied:
	The Kabuki shirts I have are: - Black shirt with the dragon tattoo on back in white; small Kabuki logo on front. - Black shirt with red and white Gai-Jeans label in front. - Gai-Jeans label with Scarab, Seiko, and Yukio in Gai-Jeans ad from cover of Scarab #2. - Scarab face on shirt, cover image to Masks of the Noh tpb. - Kabuki holding mask to face (cover image to Skin Deep tpb) - Control Corps "You Don't Know Me" shirt. There are some others, but I think that is all I have in stock right now. What sizes should I bring? And anyone who wants these shirts can get them from me at cons or at davidmack.net or from the back of any Kabuki comic.

Release Date Revised for Fifth Kabuki Collection

Because the second printing of the Kabuki: Metamorphosis trade paperback, which was solicited with a released date of November 2, did not appear on the November 2 shipping or November 9 tentative shipping lists, the date on the release schedule was changed to November.

David Mack on Exercise Routines
When asked about his workout routine, David Mack explained:
	I do lots of writing and drawing which excercises my imagination. So that I'm trained in thinking of something and then making it real. And then I just do that in real life, too. But it takes years of practice, actually doing it, to keep that power strong. Practicing in both the imagination to reality in writing, and the practicing in visualizing physical things and doing it for real. Which entails lots of joyful physical excercise and mental and physical gymnastics. Which also entails keeping limber and quick so nothing gets pulled when the magic happens.
