This is a draft style right or is it an appropriation of the style of Kabuki comics??



As well researched as Mack was/is, I would say his character designs for Kabuki were basic (but still cool) amalgamations of traditional Japanese imagery. He and XM/Hive probably culled from similar sources, as they're both going for an approach that simply but effectively symbolizes the characters without needing a similarly obsessive level of research to understand. The mask on the right looks similar to E. Honda's kumadori design in Street Fighter, but I wouldn't call it an appropriation or re-hash.

I'm not sure if I'll be getting Ivy, don't get me wrong I think it's turning out great, I was never a fan to begin with. But I can see myself getting joker and Harley along with batgirl. I'm really digging the whole samurai take on the Gothom world.

This is one the few lines where I think I have to get the whole collection. All the pieces look stellar!

I am very interested to see this painted up. She was/is the piece I love the most from this line.

This is my favorite as well. But it looks like an assembly nightmare. I have a hard lime with Phoenix. I can't imagine putting this one together.
