Hamlet: The Graphic Novel

I just finished reading No Fear Shakespeare's graphic novel adaption of Hamlet. It is 205 pages of new adaptations and awesome art. Everyone should read it before we finish with Hamlet.

QUICK WRITE/ CAN OF WORMS/ RANDOM POST

Wow. Ms. U., you opened up a HUGE can o' worms. I doubt anybody will have the time, patience, or interest to read all of this.
PREPARE FOR ULTIMATE NERDINESS

My Planet/ Galaxy:
Name: Gladitorian
                 Gladitorian is made up of one pangaea-like continent that is surrounded by a sparkling blue sea. My capital is Gladitor Fortresss.
               
Ruler: Me
          I am known as simply The Gladitor, and I am rather mystery-shrouded.

Capital: Gladitor Fortress
                 Gladitor fortress is a huge hi-tech city that resembles a medieval fortress. The walls are made of solid marble eight feet thick with guards always positioned at their stations. There is a population of about four million people. I don't want it overpopulated (you have to go through TONS of paperwork to get in).     

Landmarks:The Hall of Memories
                  The Hall of Memories is a massive museum/library that is filled with holobooks and replicas of anything from weapons to suits of armor.
                  The Grand Palace
                  The Grand Palace is my personal residence which is practically crafted out of solid marble and twenty-eight karat gold (yeah, we got that here). My private Guards are always lurking, so don't you dare try anything!!!
                 Solstice Clearing
                A beautiful clearing in the middle of The Mountains of Tanzia that is where we every year celebrate the four solstices. Beware strange happenings, we've heard centaurs lurk around it...

Allies: Tanzia
          Tanzia is the galaxy of King Aleron of Tanzia (aka Tanner Gorman), with whom we have long shared a friendship.
          Magnasia
          Magnasia is the galaxy of King Magnai of Magnasia (aka Phillip Magnuson), a galaxy of fierce warriors and terrifying military.
         Edtrognia
         Edtrognia is the galaxy of Lord Argedt (aka Ethan Seay) and is mainly mad up of desert, but has superior technology.
       Together we make up the GTMEU, or Gladitorian-Tanzian-Magnasian Union.

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY
My book, not yet titled, tellls more. Read it here (if you have time)
