Kill Shakespeare #2
This volume continues the dark fantasy adventure where Shakespeare's most iconic characters—including Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, and Richard III—are reimagined in a world where they must confront their creator, the mysterious William Shakespeare. Collecting issues #1–4 of the second story arc, the tale follows the heroes as they seek a magical artifact while dealing with betrayal and the consequences of their past choices.
In "Chapter One" of Kill Shakespeare, Hamlet ventures into the eerie, shifting wood known as the Globe, only to find Shakespeare himself a disillusioned, drunken figure who refuses to aid him. As tensions rise, Iago spreads a lie to Lady Macbeth, claiming Hamlet is dead, while his own schemes grow darker—hinting at a deadly plan involving Hamlet’s dagger. Written by Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery, with art by Andy Belanger and colors by Ian Herring, this issue blends Shakespearean drama with high-stakes intrigue, all framed by Kagan McLeod’s striking cover.

Hamlet goes alone into the wood called the Globe, barely reaching Shakespeare alive. It's a disappointing meeting, as drunken Shakespeare pours contempt on Hamlet, and refuses to help the prodigals. Meanwhile Iago falsely tells Lady Macbeth that Hamlet is dead. Beaten by Falstaff and Romeo, Iago sneers that Lady Macbeth's power will soon kill Hamlet and Shakespeare alike, using Hamlet's dagger.
