Kabuki: Reflections #6

David Mack's Kabuki: Reflections #6 is a quietly stunning showcase of the series' signature multimedia artistry, with a cover that feels less like a comic book and more like a gallery piece. A graceful figure in a flowing lavender kimono stands amid cherry blossoms, framed by torn lace-patterned borders and delicate watercolor washes — while paintbrushes and artist's hands at the edges remind you that creation itself is part of the story being told. Published by Marvel's Icon imprint in 2006, this oversized issue at $5.99 offers an intimate, meditative experience that sets Kabuki apart from virtually everything else on the shelf.
