Most of you know that I'm always on the look out for new series releasing from Archaia. Besides the fact that all of their stories are extremely high quality, the artwork seems to always blow my mind. Well, the next big thing is here. I'm talking about Archaia's upcoming limited series by Mairghread Scott and Kelly and Nicole Matthews. You might have originally heard of it by the name The Third Witch, but it has been renamed to a much better title, Toil and Trouble.

I was unaware of this titles upcoming release, so I'm glad that I found out about it now because the release is a little less than a month away. Now, the whole concept of the story is right up my alley, and I'm sure it will strike the interest of many fans.

From Mairghread Scott's website:

The central characters in my new comic series, Toil and Trouble are the three witches of Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth. In the play, these women function as supernatural seers delivering two prophecies to Macbeth that inspire Macbeth's treachery and eventually lead to his downfall. The premise behind the series is to retell the story of Macbeth from the point of view of these three witches to uncover the true motivation behind their role in Macbeth's fate.

Final orders are due on August 10 and it debuts on September 2.
