I was also grabbed by the title Kill Shakespeare, the first in a series of twelve, written by Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery, illustrated by Andy Belanger. The blurb tells me that “this dark take on the Bard pits his greatest heroes (Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, Falstaff) against his most menacing villains (Richard III, Lady Macbeth, Iago) in an epic adventure to find and kill a reclusive wizard named William Shakespeare.”
