“IT STARTS WITH A DEATH IN THE FAMILY.” Harper Hayes’ father is dead. She’s convinced his mysterious and tragic death is not an accident and is determined to find out who is responsible. Suspect number one: her uncle, who has been having an affair with her mother. Harper enlists the help of her ex-girlfriend Talia and her best friend (sometimes with benefits) Holden to prove her uncle’s guilt. But when her father’s business partner is also found dead, Harper realizes finding the murderer is more complicated than she had thought. As Harper starts hallucinating about her dad’s death and begins to see his ghost as a teenage Hamlet everywhere she turns, one thing becomes clear – in order to uncover the truth, Harper must confront the demons that have haunted her family for decades. Legendary Comics YA proudly presents this bold retelling of Shakespeare’s Hamlet from a queer lens written by Dana Mele (People Like Us, Summer’s Edge) with art by Valentina Pinti.

"To be or not to be..." What was the question? With her head spinning and the ghost of her father continuing to haunt her, Harper’s list of murder suspects grows as she grapples with new revelations about her family. With Talia, Holden, and now Liam by her side, Harper must face the unthinkable as she delves further into the mystery of who killed her father, with the suspects all around her… and closing in. Can Harper maintain her grip on reality long enough to see her father’s murderer brought to justice? And can reigniting her off-again-on-again relationship with Talia help her regain the sanity she needs to navigate the dangerous secrets that surround her? As Harper's story enters its final act, all the players take to the stage to perform their fated roles before they take their final bow.
