Kill Shakespeare #10

Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col
Art by Andy Belanger

It appears that things are slowing down on this title schedule-wise, as plot-wise things are heating up a great deal.

Hamlet's meeting with Will Shakespeare has been a disappointment, as Will has basically renounced his creations and refused to intervene on their behalf.  While this is going on, the combined forces of Richard and Lady MacBeth have gathered around Juliet's rebel army.

There are a lot of big scenes in this issue, as the two armies clash.  Belanger takes a wide-screened approach to most of the issue, and it works very well.  He credits Durer in the text piece as a major influence, and it kind of shows in some of his double-page spreads.

This issue winnows the cast list a little (I love how the action appears to be taking place on a stage on Kagan McLeod's cover), as like any good Shakespearian tragedy, things get really bloody.
