Not the best adaptation of Macbeth

2 stars

A graphic novel of a play, with the original text, is halfway to a performance of it. This particular production is not great. The graphical interpretation is stereotyped and on-the-nose.

Both the Macbeths have black hair. Lady Macbeth, with her lowered eyebrows and two dangling, snakelike tendrils of hair, looks evil from her first appearance. (Also, she can’t mention her breasts without grabbing them.)

The Weird Sisters look straight out of a Tales from the Crypt comic book.

I have to believe there’s a better graphic novel adaptation out there.

This book wrapped up a major plot arc from the previous books. There was so much that could have been done with that plot but I felt that most of the wrapping up happened off page and was very rushed at the end. I loved the interaction between the leads and the way the relationship progressed. But what I did not like was that there were some "funny" anecdotes of Jarrett that were shoehorned into the story to do what I don't know. But all in all this was an OK read and a good place to stop if you choose not to go ahead with the story as it is the end of a major plot arc from the previous books.
