Kill Shakespeare #11
In "Once More Unto the Breach," Shakespeare himself takes up arms in a battle he once only wrote about, pleading with the prodigals to let him fight alongside them. With the power of his quill shattering Richard’s lines, Othello leads a bold counterattack as three fateful duels ignite—Hamlet versus Iago, Shakespeare versus Richard, and Juliet versus Lady Macbeth. Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col, with art by Andy Belanger and colors by Ian Herring, this 2011 IDW issue features a striking cover by Kagan McLeod.
