[ENGLISH] Sphinx Group\/IDW tells us:<\/strong> Kill Shakespeare Vol 2 – Blast of War hits bookstore shelves this week! – (Toronto, Canada – November 22, 2011) The creators of Kill Shakespeare announced the book trade release of the second graphic novel in their line, Kill Shakespeare Vol 2-The Blast of War\u00a0(ISBN 978-1613770252). Nominated for numerous awards and \u201cbest-of\u201d lists, this trade contains the conclusion of Hamlet\u2019s quest — the Dane must now make his choice to kill or save the wizard\/God Shakespeare. With a soft release in the hobby market November 9th, 2011 followed by a book trade release November 22nd, 2011 complimented by a digital release at the same time, Kill Shakespeare is perfectly positioned for fourth quarter sales.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Creators Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery \u2013 who last month took part in the Sundance Institute\u2019s New Frontier Story Lab \u2013 initially saw in comics a special opportunity to take the Bard\u2019s work and reinvent his world by pairing it with the inherently kinetic nature of the medium. Established comic artist Andy Belanger (DC, Boom Studios) was the perfect choice to bring the heroes and villains of Shakespeare\u2019s plays to life sequentially. Together the three collaborated on the first book (Kill Shakespeare Voume 1: A Sea of Troubles), which garnered recognition across the globe as the first graphic novel to be fully embraced by both die-hard Shakespeare fans and by readers who have only the barest familiarity with the works of the Bard.<\/p>\n

Co-Creator Anthony Del Col commented, \u201cThe journey we have taken to complete this second graphic novel has itself been an adventure of Shakespearean proportions, full of mirth, joy, tears and exhilaration. I\u2019m excited to raise the curtain on our continued twisted tale of the Bard and his characters.\u201d<\/p>\n
