Kill Shakespeare #12

In "To Thine Own Self Be True," the cost of ambition comes due as Iago and Richard fall, and Lady Macbeth vanishes into mist. Shakespeare, now walking unseen among his world, shares a quiet moment with Juliet, who reaffirms her love for Hamlet, as their people begin to celebrate amid grief. With Shakespeare’s eyes and Feste’s knowing smile fixed on the reader, the story lingers on the weight of performance and truth. Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col, with art by Andy Belanger and coloring by Ian Herring, the issue’s cover by Kagan McLeod captures the haunting tone of the moment.
