Andy Belanger's Hamlet, from the Kill Shakespeare series: Fortinbras must fend for himself as the lantern-jawed hero hooks up with Juliet and goes after a certain playwright planning to knock him off.
Andy Belanger's Juliet: Death has been kind to Juliet, who comes back to life all grown up, deft with a knife, and eager to kick butt.
Andy Belanger's Lady Macbeth: Unsex me here? No way. This Lady Macbeth uses all her ample talents to orchestrate revenge against her Elizabethan defamer.
Andy Belanger's Othello: Freed by death from the conniving courtiers, Othello is pumped up and ready to rumble. No dew rusts his bright swords now.
Andy Belanger's Richard III: “Despair and die!” said his enemies, but he did not. Richard III rides again as leader of a supervillain conspiracy to kill Shakespeare.
