OMG IS IAGO SHAGGING LADY MACBETH???...if so, that is so hot. I totes love how Lady Macbeth is a total whore for power xDI don't care if this is essentially badly written fanfiction, I'm eating this shit up haha. I love the concept. I don't care if the timeline makes no sense. I don't think it has to. The characters don't exist in OUR world, in OUR time. They exist together in their own world. And I love it. I'm so excited to read more.I totes ship Juliet and Othello. Kinda. More like unrequited. Cuz I mainly want Juliet with Hamlet hahaOh god, this totally makes me want to bone up on my real Shakespeare now. I love how bad-ass Juliet is. I want to re-read "Romeo and Juliet" now to see if I can see hints of her bad-assedness there. Cuz I mean, we all know the simpering 14 year old girl side of Juliet. But is there anything to suggest that had she lived, she would've grown up to be stubborn and strong-willed? I dunno. But I want to find out....also, this technically is my 175th book of 2013, thus completing my Reading Challenge goal, but I was really intending "Legend" to fulfill that role [I'll probably finish reading that in the next 24 hours]. This is just kinda like, an added bonus to my year xD I collected these comics when the series first came out in 2010, but I haven't read them until now. Having finished the first six, I have to say that the story is good (but not great). However, it doesn't have to be great to be enjoyable. My main complain is that Hamlet, the de-facto protagonist, is very, very blah. He doesn't really kick into gear and become an agent until the last few pages of this volume. Until then, he's just acted upon, upon, upon.Iago, though. Fucking Iago. My favorite character in all of Shakespeare. He's awesome here too.
What do You think about Kill Shakespeare, Vol. 1 (2010)?
An interesting concept: pitting Shakespeare's heroes against the villains.
