The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of LEGENDS
OF OZ: THE SCARECROW #2 from Big Dog Ink Comics. The story is by Pat Shand, with
art by Carlos Reno, colors by Kate Finnegan, and lettering by HDE.
The newly freed folks of Denslow want to get revenge by
destroying all scarecrows…including our heroine. The evil scarecrow was using parts the townsfolk
to make himself human. It took the intervention of the sheriff’s son Lyle for
them to realize that Scarecrow is on their side and the other scarecrows are
being used by their captor. Can the townsfolk put aside their prejudice and
deal with the real threat, or will things get even worse than they have? Is it even too late for that?
This is the concluding chapter of a prequel to the LEGENDS
OF OZ miniseries. Pat Shand (ROBYN HOOD) jumps in and does a great job of
fleshing out the Scarecrow character. Carlos Reno’s ability to have her
communicate to everyone (including the reader) without the power of speech is
great. Overall, his art is very nice.
