Romeo and Juliet in comic book form, focused on Tybalt, and set in a cyberpunk hood. Wimberly used Shakespeare's play, cribbed from other poets (I caught some Blake), and reworked original dialogue to fit into the setting. It was super cool, especially if you're already familiar with R&J. I'm very glad I read this! Romeo and Juliet in 1980s New York City, from the perspective of Tybalt. Rival sword gangs, kickass fashion, street artists, macho bullshit, all of which was there in the original play but is cleverly heightened here by the setting and the perspective. It's more emotionally affecting than the original Romeo & Juliet was for me, but like all Romeo & Juliet retellings maybe, kind of gimmicky. But every time the incongruity of the stilted, Shakespearean language and the setting and subjects—not just the incongruity but the wit, the knowing wink of the juxtaposition—made me laugh out loud, I couldn't help but add to my star rating.

Prince of Cats is the B-side to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, played at an eighties block party in an NY where underground sword dueling blossomed alongside hip-hop, punk, disco, and no wave. It is the story of the minor players with Tybalt at the center. The definitive printing of Ronald Wimberly's critically-acclaimed first work, presented as intended for the first time.

The book was a pleasure to read even if the art was a little hard to follow and some of the Shakespeare-speak felt forced. And the character design in this book is not to be missed! ( )
