Kill Shakespeare Volume 4: The Mask of Night by Anthony Del Col, Conor McCreery
3.0
I was pretty disappointed with this installment in the Kill Shakespeare series. The story lacked both the attention to small details and the more epic and important feel of the previous arcs. The art felt lazy in some cases and I particularly disliked Cesario's mask, which didn't look at all special or menacing; just tacky, and yet seemed to appear on practically every page.
From a feminist perspective I was super grossed out by Lucius' plots re: the pregnant Juliet and exasperated by the somewhat soapy feeling of Juliet and Hamlet's relationship in this volume. But I really liked Viola - her character was definitely the highlight of this volume, leading me to still rate this three stars and decide it's too early for me to stop reading.
