Kill Shakespeare: The Mask of Night #4

The fourth installment of Kill Shakespeare: The Mask of Night delivers one of the more hauntingly atmospheric covers of 2014 — a medieval helmet sinking and dissolving into swirling, ghostly tendrils of teal and deep magenta against an absolute black void. Andy Belanger's cover art transforms what could be a simple object study into something genuinely unsettling, as the armor seems to unravel and dissipate like a dying breath. With McCreery, Del Col, Belanger, and Chankhamma steering this Shakespearean dark fantasy toward its conclusion, this issue — subtitled "Strong Reasons Make Strong Actions" — promises the series' signature blend of literary drama and visceral tension.
