Has anyone else seen this? I have been a fan of the sexy/scary Kabuki books for a while now and this new one is amazing. looking back it is clear Mack has improved his artistry, craftsmanship and storytelling skills a great deal.

Anyone seen it?

s'not new, though, it's a collection of his stuff from image, with some new pages.

personally, i love his image stuff. i love how it takes at least an hour to unravel each comic, instead of the usual 6mins.

All his stuuf's like that. I picked up Circle of Blood at the start of the year, which got me hooked into the whole story arc, and each time I re-read them I always find something new I missed the last time.

If you want to have a look at a beautiful Kabuki web-site take a gander at Mask, my friend Wendys' site.

I just discovered the Kabuki series with The Alchemy #7. Very impressed, went and got the earlier trades, Circle of Blood origin is very cool -- how could I have missed this in '95...? Nice style of cyberpunk, Bladerunner, etc. I'm just beginning with Metamorphosis, very incredible work. His story and art are multi-layered and a close reading is necessary and worth it.

Will have to track down his Daredevil/Echo stories... anyone familiar with them?
