Marvel takes on classic literature in this Limited Series comic release, leaving author Eric Shanower, and artist Skottie Young in charge of retelling the original L.Frank Baum classic tale of Oz in 8 issues. Issue 1 finds Dorothy and her little dog, Toto; caught in a twister, transported to the Land of Oz, adored by Munchkins, and just beginning the long journey down the yellow brick road, with her new tag-along friend, Scarecrow.
Anyone, any age, that has a love for the Land of Oz will enjoy this fresh adaptation - true to the original, with a brand new Marvel comics makeover. Skottie Young's beautiful pencil work, along with brilliant dialog and story by Eric Shanower, has me securing my silver shoes for the next journey down the Yellow Brick Road. One issue off the press, and I'm hooked.
Issue #2 hits stores January 14, 2009 don't miss it!
(Now imagine me, only not in Kansas anymore.)

I really might have to pick this up. The Wizard of Oz series in particular has always seemed to have outstanding reinterpretations, and I'm enjoying that art style.
