(W) David Mack (A) Rick Mays Keiko becomes Scarab for the first time. Her tumultuous teen years, her romance with Yukio, her confrontation with the Yakuza, her recruitment as an informant, and her training as an operative. All these story threads from Scarab's origin have been brought together and tie into the present story of Scarab and Tigerlily's forbidden friendship outside of the Noh and the Noh's search for Kabuki in Control Corps. This issue dramatically converges Scarabs past into her present, brings her face to face with a mystery guest, and ties into the recent painted KABUKI series, continuing where KABUKI- Metamorphosis leaves off. Sharp characterization, kinetic action, philosophy, intrigue, on a twisted rollercoaster ride through the Japanese underworld. If you've wanted to try an issue of Eisner, Eagle and Harvey Award nominee David (Daredevil) Mack's Kabuki, this issue is a great slice of that acclaimed vision and versatility. b&w, 32pg Cover price $2.95.

By Ted Nomura. In this alternate World War II that extended to 1946, a series of unexpected changes of events has forced the Americans to invade Japan as originally planned, starting with "Operation Olympic" in November 1945. With the battle for Kyushu racking up heavy casualties, the Americans are forced to execute "Operation Coronet," the invasion of the Kanto Plain on the main island of Honshu, in March 1946, as planned. But with Germany still at war in this alternate history, additional aid from Hitler's forces in Japan to divert the Allied effort in Europe causes more difficulties in Allied logistics in the Pacific, and it's a battle to the death heading for a march toward Tokyo.
