![]() ![]() Some of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters face off against each other in a desperate race to find a wizard named William Shakespeare. This is such an amazing concept, and when I first heard about it, I was taken aback by how unbelievably awesome it might be. I don’t think this series will quite live up to that billing, but if it can approximate those series in the way that my own poetic endeavors approximate Shakespeare’s, well, that’ll be 98% as good. When you have blurbs that draw comps to Fables and The Unwritten, you’re putting yourself in lofty company (Fables is my favorite comic series of all time, and The Unwritten is a worthwhile if occasionally frustrating read). I’m giving this it four stars based as much on my hope that subsequent volumes are as entertaining as the premise as the content of volume 1 itself (which is solid, but didn't tighten my girdle strings quite as much as I'd hoped). This is a solid start to what I hope is a good series. ![]() But, whatever-you groundlings can just keep your comments to yourself. Okay, so my iambic pentameter is a little rusty, and perhaps I’m only 98% as eloquent as the Bard. ![]() ![]() What comic through yonder bookshelf breaks? ![]()
