As stated elsewhere, it's really more of a promise of a premise that sometimes leaves a little to be desired. But considering that this was considered to be a limited series and not an ongoing thing, I'm amazed that there wasn't more finality in the ending. ( )

This is a fun little graphic novel series. I love the idea of all Shakespeare's characters being alive and waging a battle. I like the way the authors kept some of the basic personality of Shakespeare's characters but still expanded and made them different (yes, I'm talking about you, Juliet). I do feel like certain parts of the story could have been better developed but overall, it's a fun series. ( )

In this second volume we get the massive clash between the forces of Juliet and Richard III. At the same time, Hamlet goes to the Globe in search of Shakespeare but meeting one's creator isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

An excellent second volume. While I wasn't expecting the story arc to wrapped up so neatly in two volumes, there continues to be excellent plotting, references and allusions, and characters cropping up that you would never expect. I also love that the artists went for the more pirate-y look for Shakespeare as he definitely fits in best with the world created in the series. ( )

this one was a disappointment. i was very pleased with the first one, particularly since i'm always interested in metafictional universi, but this sequel seemed oddly desultory and unstructured, so i won't go looking for more. ( )
