dhampyresaStill working through my backlog. It's late so I'm only doing one.
Toil and Trouble, by Mairghread Scott (writing), Kelly Matthews (art) and Nichole Matthews (art): I read this when it was issues 1-6, (caught it issue 3, iirc), but I see the tpb is out! I should buy it. *makes note* ANYWAY. This is about the witches in Shakespeare's Scottish play. It covers most of the events in the play, starting a little before the first scene and stopping before the Battle of Dusinane. Macbeth is a character in this, but he is very much a secondary character to the witches -- he's their pawn, more than anything. They're fighting for and about Scotland and he's the catalyst. Well, his son, but he's dead, so heh. The witches are GREAT!And I'm not just saying that because they follow proper magic balance rules / represent a three element system, as they should. They have their own shit and internal power struggles going on. I love their design and at one point there is a magic duel and it is super cool. I like that it doesn't cover the whole play -- it ends when the witches' part of the tale is done, not when Macbeth's part is done. And besides. It's the bloody Scottish play. We know how it ends. I do regret that the lines are not suite quite the lines in the play (when applicable) as they've been rewritten to match the more modern (and unrhyming) manner of speech of the rest of the book. Mostly because "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" is one of my very favourite lines in all of Shakespeare
