Summary
The Shadeys are a race that draws on negative emotions. They choose Robert Greene as a host for powerful negative emotions. By manipulating the dying Green they turn his hatred, bile and jealousy of Shakespeare "up to eleven," giving them enough power to crush the planet.
Characters
References
- The name Uncle Bloodfinger is very similar to Mother Doomfinger, who featured in The Shakespeare Code, an episode released not long after the comic, wherein witches attempt to free other trapped witches. The dialogue and presentation of the enemies speaking while watching the writer work is similar to several parts of The Shakespeare Code. Both were written by Gareth Roberts.
- A tavern sign features a picture of a wolf's head and the initials "B.W.", a reference to the Bad Wolf story arc that is resolved in The Parting Of The Ways.
