I love the core idea behind this, a jealous writer is overtaken my witches and attempts to kill Shakespeare to ensure his legacy does not overshadow his own. The story gets a bit muddled towards the end, but it’s an entertaining read. Perhaps more interesting is reading the seed to The Shakespeare Code. It’s crazy to look back and see how many comics and short stories used to get adapted for the main show.
