Congrats David!

um okay I gotta confess; I'm a little slow. What happened?
Was he nominated?
Did he win?
Either way congrats you definately deserve it.
Kabuki is the most innovative and groundbreaking comic on the market right now. Well actually the best on the market every 3 months or so.
Can't wait for the next issue
