Kill Shakespeare #7
In "The Play's the Thing," the fractured world of Shakespeare’s characters collides as Iago and Lady Macbeth work in shadow, while Feste and the troupe stage a performance of The Murder of Gonzago—its echoes striking deep. Amid haunting visions of their pasts, Hamlet and Juliet find a fragile moment of resolve, drawn together in a world where every line could be a weapon. Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col, with bold art by Andy Belanger and colors by Ian Herring, the issue’s cover by Kagan McLeod captures the tension of a stage set for revelation.

As Iago and Lady Macbeth plot covertly, Feste and the other players put on a play, including The Murder of Gonzago, which forces Hamlet to recognize the fact of his father's cruelty and rapacity. Each troubled by oppressive visions of their own past, Hamlet and Juliet each pledge themselves to the other.
