The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WARLORD
OF OZ #1 from Zenescope Entertainment. The story is by Joe Brusha and Jeff
Masey, written by Jeff Masey, with art by Miguel Mendonca, colors by Grostieta,
and lettering by Jim Campbell.
Dorothy resumes
her life on the Kansas farm, trying to take care of things while her Aunt Em
deals with a mysterious illness. Our heroine continues to have these nightmares
of her back in Oz. She is battling the good witch Glinda after killing all of
the Emerald City guards/soldiers. Meanwhile in OZ, a serious situation has
brought Bartleby the Scarecrow and Thorne the Lion together again. The two,
along with Glinda’s apprentice Adraste must help advise the king while the good
witch tries to find out what is going on and what (or who) is behind it.
Dorothy (and Toto) finds herself back in OZ, but are the events in her dream
coming true?
Zenescope continues their adventures into the land of OZ from the classic tale. I’m curious to see where this goes, especially
Dorothy’s dreams. Is it precognition? Is she being influenced from something
(or someone) from OZ? We will have to keep on reading to find out. Miguel
Mendonca’s art and Grostieta's colors are incredible; each page is just as beautiful as the one before.
This is another winner for the publisher. I’m sold.
WARLORD OF OZ #1 is in stores now, or available for
ordering at www.zenescope.com.
