That's Awesome! Hard to go wrong with that kind of review. I have to say, I need to check out Merchant. It's actually one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Now if you'll only do Pericles! That's an obscure one, but one I did back in my college days. I think there's some good stuff to translate into comics in that one.
