David Mack’s Kabuki: The Alchemy Hardcover

Sales of the Kabuki: The Alchemy hardcover by Eisner Award-nominated creator David Mack are off to a very strong start following the volume’s release at the beginning of March. The long-awaited hardcover collects all nine issues of the critically-acclaimed Kabuki: The Alchemy series from Marvel's creator-owned Icon imprint for the first time ever. This unprecedented look at Mack's work is full of bonus material including original scripts, a "best of fan letters" section, never before seen art and new story pages, including updated versions of previously published scenes! If that's not enough, the book includes a powerful introduction by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk and a special afterword from David Mack himself. The book was ranked in the New York Times Graphic Novels Best Seller List in its first week of release and is also reported to have sold out quickly during WonderCon. I only just got around to ordering a copy from Tales of Wonder, so I’ll look forward to reading it when it arrives next week.
