NEW KILL SHAKESPEARE SERIES
IDW Publishing has announced a June launch for Kill Shakespeare: The Mask of Night.
"We're excited to announce The Mask of Night, our pirate adventure," said series co-creator, Anthony Del Col. "Not only does it include characters from our previous books but incorporates one of Shakespeare's most famous heroines, Viola, who we have refashioned into one of the coolest female pirates ever. I think fans -- both new and old -- are going to find this homage to classic pirate tales a real treat."
Here's how the book is described:
"In The Mask of Night, we will see Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, and Shakespeare become pawns in a deadly game of survival between legendary masked pirate Captain Cesario, his first mate Viola, and the new terror on the water, Titus Andronicus' forbidding war ship, the Lavinia."
BRIEFLY
LETHAL WEAPONS:Shout! Factory has announced a May 13 release for Wolverine Weapon X: Tomorrow Dies Today from Marvel Knigcts Animation. The animation adapts the comic book story by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney.
Here's how the story is described:
"The future is controlled by a malevolent mega-corporation known as Roxxon -- which keeps its tight grip on society through the use of cyborgs, the Deathloks, whose sole purpose is to seek out current and future vigilantes -- and neutralize them with extreme prejudice. Now, in order to prevent Roxxon's rise and the eventual slaughter of the world's heroes, Wolverine must join forces with a mysterious woman possessing unexplained knowledge of the coming dystopia. He won't give up until the Deathloks are stopped, but what hope is there to prevent a future that has already come to pass?"
