Theoretically, I should have liked Kill Shakespeare more than I did. The series imagines a world in which all of Shakespeare's characters exist at the same time and are forming different alliances based on whether or not they want the mysterious Bard assassinated. In my opinion, more Falstaff is always good. Juliet also sports a pleasing reinvention as a strong-willed and persuasive military leader rousing peasants to rebellion. Unfortunately, the quest-like plot results in a much more violence-centric story than I care to read. The art didn't compel me much either, though the evil sorcery and ghostlike pages reminded me of Skeletor and other early 80s cartoons (in a good way, clearly). I likely won't seek out the rest of the series.
