Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del ColArt by Andy Belanger
This issue served as a bit of an eye-opener to me with regards to how this series has been progressing. I've found myself more and more wrapped up in the story, as Juliet has begun her rebellion, and Hamlet has become more and more involved in the events of the world, but I haven't been giving much attention to the art since the series started.
Now, with this issue, I'm coming to really appreciate the work that Andy Belanger is doing on this title. Kill Shakespeare is frequently compared to Fables, and one source of that comparison would be the way in which Belanger is starting to design his layouts. Many pages in this issue are framed by stage curtains, in a manner that reminded me of Mark Buckingham's work on Fables. There are a number of inventively-laid out pages in this issue, as Hamlet and company watch (and participate) in a play put on by some traveling actors, and later, as Hamlet and Juliet revisit their pasts in a strange, hall-of-mirrors like environment.
This has been an interesting series, and it deserves the praise it has been receiving.
