    As an English teacher, I’m always looking for means to show my students different ways to look at literature. My main intent to order this one was because it maintained the original text…which it does. Other than that it doesn’t do much special. I’ve found some other graphic novel for other works that made some bold statements with THE IMAGES; this one doesn’t…the graphics are pretty straight forward and concretely consistent. The most unique thing I can show with this one is how it pares down an entire chapter to one spread in the book. The artwork is nice, but doesn’t leap off the page; and when it does leap of the page, it is a bit comical…like the witches.

    As a high school English tutor, I am always looking for ways to make Shakespeare more exciting for my students. The graphic novel format, and this version in particular, is a super way to bring Macbeth to life, with all its guts, blood, betrayal, and witchery.

    My high school senior student loved the excellent illustrations, and they really helped him understand the language. This is not a “dumbed down” version of Shakespeare at all; this is the original text, and the graphics make it much easier to understand and absorb. Even if you’re not an educator, get this graphic novel and be prepared to really appreciate one of the masterful tragedies in the canon.
