This collects the two miniseries that were about other assassins of the Noh， Kabuki: Masks of the Noh and Kabuki: Scarab， Lost in Translation。 There's also about 60 pages of extras。Kabuki: Masks of the NohThe other seven assassins of the Noh get a chance to shine。 They are on the hunt for Kabuki。 It's something of a companion piece to Kabuki: Circle of Blood。 They are on her trail from the events in that book。I like how Mack came up with this book。 Each member of the Noh is illustrated by a diff This collects the two miniseries that were about other assassins of the Noh， Kabuki: Masks of the Noh and Kabuki: Scarab， Lost in Translation。 There's also about 60 pages of extras。Kabuki: Masks of the NohThe other seven assassins of the Noh get a chance to shine。 They are on the hunt for Kabuki。 It's something of a companion piece to Kabuki: Circle of Blood。 They are on her trail from the events in that book。I like how Mack came up with this book。 Each member of the Noh is illustrated by a different artist。 He worked on the stories with them in the evenings after conventions and signings。 They'd pull all nighters to put this together and it worked out great。Kabuki: Scarab， Lost in TranslationBoth a companion piece to Kabuki: Metamorphosis and an origin story for Scarab。 There's a framing sequence with the Noh attacking the Control center Kabuki is being held in before Scarab reflects back on her origins， telling them to another Noh agent， Tigerlily。 The story in this is more straight forward， abandoning most of the flowery imagery Mack uses is the Kabuki books。 Rick Mays's art is fantastic。 I love his look of the Japanese motorcycle gangs and Scarab as a teen。 。。。more

This edition collects the stories Masks of the Noh and Scarab， both of which explore the other Noh operatives， some of their history and personalities。 These stories weave their way throughout the Kabuki stories from the previous volumes。 In these stories David Mack continued doing the writing but the majority of the artwork was by others creators collaborating with Mack。 Masks of the Noh was interesting in that a different artist drew each of the Noh agents with Mack drawing Kabuki。 Overall I t This edition collects the stories Masks of the Noh and Scarab， both of which explore the other Noh operatives， some of their history and personalities。 These stories weave their way throughout the Kabuki stories from the previous volumes。 In these stories David Mack continued doing the writing but the majority of the artwork was by others creators collaborating with Mack。 Masks of the Noh was interesting in that a different artist drew each of the Noh agents with Mack drawing Kabuki。 Overall I think it worked。 Granted， I liked some art more than others， and Mack’s is by far my favorite for these stories。 But the stories， themselves， being written by Mack， were just as good as what’s come before。 And I think the ending of the Scarab story was just perfect， both for itself， for this collected edition， and for how it weaved into the larger story of Kabuki。 。。。more

The second Scarab story is the highlight here。 This was more human and moving and fun than most of the later Kabuki stuff and I enjoyed it way more than I expected to。 The last issue in particular blended traditional manga and Mack’s more experimental visual style superbly to create a highly emotive experience。

Beautiful art， kickass heroine。 But a little creepy with the sexualization of her postures in traumatic situations。

Collecting Masks of the Noh and Scarab: Lost in Translation this book is a bit of a mixed bag。 Masks of the Noh， while introducing the other Noh assassins， just isn't a strong enough story。 However， the second half with Scarab completely makes up for it。 Scarab is solid and definitely gives this book a strong backbone and ending。 Personally， If this was just the Scarab story i'd give it 5 stars。 Collecting Masks of the Noh and Scarab: Lost in Translation this book is a bit of a mixed bag。 Masks of the Noh， while introducing the other Noh assassins， just isn't a strong enough story。 However， the second half with Scarab completely makes up for it。 Scarab is solid and definitely gives this book a strong backbone and ending。 Personally， If this was just the Scarab story i'd give it 5 stars。 。。。more
