Kill Shakespeare Volume 2: The Blast of War by Anthony del Sol, Conor McCreery
4.0
I first heard about this series in my Shakespeare class and knew I had to read it!
I love Hamlet so having him star as the main character sold me into the story very quickly, and I loved how all the characters met and interacted with each other in the weird Shakespeare world which I’m still a bit confused about how it exists.
The graphic novel is beautifully drawn and beautifully written. I love that the authors wrote mimicking Shakespeare but in a way that reader’s could actually understand what’s being said! I also loved the few lines of iambic pentameter in the comic.
But I don’t like the whole Hamlet x Juliet relationship. Hamlet x Ophelia FOREVER! MORE OPHELIA PLEASE (since she is literally never shown in the comic).
