Kabuki & David Mack Mentioned at Geeks of Doom
From GeeksOfDoom.com:
For instance, based on my own description and Reddit profile, my awesome (not-so) Secret Santa Sarah sent me graphic novels Kabuki by David Mack and Tin Tin: Destination Moon — both of which I’ve not read but always wanted to.


Kabuki: Volume 1 HC Selected as Best Re-Release of 2010
From the Girls Read Comics Too blog:
Dee: Another very close race, and Kurt Busiek & Stuart Immonen’s Shockrockets came so close to winning it. But another book crept in there for me, and won me over.

Kabuki Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Writer & Artist: David Mack

Dee: Wow, is David Mack talented. I had no idea just how much until I started looking through Kabuki books, and picked up some of the Reflections sketchbooks from him at NYCC. This is a story that is lyrical, slowly unfolding with each beautiful page. His art suits it so well. A haunting story with haunting art. It’s the best way I can describe it.
