IDW Publishing has announced it is bringing back Kill Shakespeare in a new five issue limited series.
The five-issue series – a continuation from the first two books – will follow Hamlet, Juliet, Othello and Romeo as they face their biggest threat – Prospero, a rogue wizard who plans to destroy all of creation. Hamlet must embark on a perilous journey to a remote island whose inhabitants have gone mad and want the Dane’s blood – if a love triangle and Cupid’s poisoned bow doesn’t kill Hamlet first.
Though purists may have a problem with the series, the series has had a fairly large success in the comic book stores, and in the creation of Kill Shakespeare: Live Stage Reading theatrical show.
