Macbeth: The Graphic Novel
'Fair is foul and foul is fair' - so said three weird women in ghoulish glee, predicting a subversion of order in fair Scotland...
In the reign of King Duncan, Scotland is a just and hospitable land, with loyal, warlike thanes guarding the best interests of people...
...'Till the very best among them, Macbeth, gives in to a fatal temptation and commits regicide. But will the crown of Scotland sit easy on his head? Will justice be restored to Scotland? Or will Macbeth remain invincible?
One of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Macbeth goes beyond a mere tragedy of moral order to a deeply psychological study of a mind preyed on by ambition, insecurities, fear, and regret.

Truly a wild time. Art was interesting and they translated the Old English fairly well into a modern dialect.

It was fun reading it, i’ve finished it in an hour!
My favorite quotes:
“ let this devil hour be cursed in all calendars “
“ life is nothing but a brief candle, a walking shadow, an actor that performs his part on the stage, and then is heard no more “
“ if a man were a doorman at the gates of hell, he would turn old just letting people in “

Having little experience with this play I chose too read it before going to a theatre production of "Goblin Macbeth"
It was helpful to get the plot of the play in a short time frame and allowed me to follow the play much better.
Stil lots of the original dialogue in the play so always a bit tough to follow.

3/5 ⭐️
I’m not really a comic book girl so it’s probably my own fault that I could give or take this for the most part. It was hard to tell the difference between the men, which was honestly my only real qualm. I did like that it was a different way to tell the story.

Thought I would hate it compared to the Garth Hinds version, but it really isn’t too bad. There is quite a bit of telling...However, this is easy to overlook when the colors, characters, and story are vivid.

First part was awkward to read - I didn't care for the adaptation. But the last act was good. Most of the 'famous' quotes are left in. But missing one of my favorites at the end 'Lay on MacDuff'. I like the artwork.

The art work is very good however I missed the basic essence of the work as famous lines from the original ,were missed from the book.
