The Long Road to Retailers...

This week we are prepping our direct marketing campaign to North American comic book retailers.  As a new title with upcoming talent it's crucial to spread the word and we've devised a pretty cool campaign to make as many retailers aware of us and Kill Shakespeare as possible.

Two excellent young interns have started to work with us.  Mike Klassen, from Sheridan College, and Charlie Jay (above), from Ryerson, have brought theirs skills and talents to the Kill Shakespeare team.  They have been spending the last week or two putting together a great deal of data for us and will be helping us out over the next few months.  If you are someone who may have the slightest interest in K.S., you'll probably hear from them sometime/some how...

More details on our campaign as we move forward with it.

Kill Shakespeare: A Comic Jab and Literary Punch

Prep your best Shakespearian insults, because this April debuts a new IDW Publishing series with a twist on the old Bard. Introducing Kill Shakespeare, a comic from co-creators Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery and artist Andy B. (Zuda’s “Bottle of Awesome,” DC’s Wildstorm, Devil’s Due).Famous tragic, historical, and comedic characters—such as Hamlet, Juliet, Falstaff, Othello, and Puck—race against villainous counterparts like Richard III, Lady Macbeth, and Iago in their hunt to save (or kill) magician William Shakespeare. Described as “a cross between Fables, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Northlanders,” the comic reimagines Shakespeare’s most notable characters and delivers its weight in action, drama, and blood-drenched violence.For more information and behind-the-scenes updates, visit www.killshakespeare.com … thou jarring malmsey-nosed haggard!
