Gotta tell you I was not a fan of the art in this book at all. Huge mouths *shudder* The story was good but not as good as The Wizard. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Another delightful - and beautiful - entry in the series, and as with the previous book a story I was completely unfamiliar with. How have these not been filmed? And why do they instead keep making inferior movies like "The Wiz," James Franco's lame "Oz the Great and Powerful," TV's interesting update "Tin Man," and Disney's 1985 "Return to Oz," (which was a loose and apparently terrible mash-up of Ozma and the previous Marvelous Land of Oz)? Now that folks are seriously adapting things like Lor...

This is the third book in Marvel’s Oz series, these are graphic novel retellings of the L. Frank Baum’s Oz books. This was a fantastic book I really really enjoyed it. I loved the illustration and colors and really enjoyed that Dorothy was back in the story.Dorothy has returned to Oz with her only company being the chicken Billina. Right off the bat they run into some very scary Wheelers and find and activate Tik-Tok who assists them in their flight from the Wheelers. The whole thing culminates

I just love this series. So humorous and fun!

This was without a doubt my favorite book of the bunch. The original text served as the other half of the inspiration for the film "Return to Oz" and is full of wonderful little bits of plot. At this point, this is the third OZ book by Baum. A series he never intended to happen but once Wonderful Wizard of Oz was so popular, he decided to make it a series. While the first two books I felt lacked some plot logic and had some characters giving up quite easily, this book really starts to develop in...

This was always my favorite Oz book, though I'd long forgotten the plot. As I read this delightful graphic version, it all came back--the princess with the interchangeable heads, the not-so-ferocious Wheelers, the Nome king's trickery. I think Billina was well served by being so charmingly illustrated, but I am not going to share this book with my own children because the Scarecrow's empty eyes are terrifying.

This is another book that I grabbed off of the kids' shelves because it looked fun. And the story was, but the design was confusing. It's the third book in the graphic novel series of the Oz books, so it must be selling well. But I wonder who the audience for these books is because of some of the design choices.The story was the classic Baum tale. The story editing allowed the heart, humor and drama to come through very well. So that would work for kids or for grown-up fans of the series. But I

While Dorothy ends up proving herself worthy of being Ozma's champion in this book, there's a second hero who is sometimes overlooked — Bill the chicken. http://pussreboots.pair.com/blog/2015...

Dorothy gets shipwrecked in the land of Ev, and along with a hen named Bill she meets a new cast of characters. She gets locked in a tower for refusing to let the very vain Princess of Ev take her head. Her friends arrive just in time with Ozma of Oz to rescue her. Then they all travel to the underground realm of the Nome king to free the Queen of Ev. All this, and expertly rendered by Skottie Young.

The story is far from ending up! Creative Team:Writer: Eric Shanower (based on the original works by L. Frank Baum)Illustrator: Scottie Young BEWARE THE WHEELERS! Dorothy returns in another adventure but to her surprise she may not being in Kansas anymore but it's not Oz either.Dorothy and her new companion, Billina, are now in the wonderful land of Ev!Billina is a hen, but unlike Toto, the dog, Billina is able to talk while she is in the magical realms, making her more interesting to read

This book was marvelous, as I knew it would be! It was the last book to complete my collection of Marvel's adaptation of Oz series by Eric Shanower and Skottie Young. I had been reluctant to get this one because unlike the rest that I had, this one was in paperback instead of hard cover. But I needed to have it, Ozma of Oz was one of my favourites in the Oz series after all.The illustrations were splendid and perfect in my opinion. I thought the story was presented very well and true to the book...

Didn't really enjoy this one as much, mainly because the plot wasn't all that (and what's with the title?). Also, switch Ozma back to Tip please :\

Ozma Of Oz is a great book, and much of the storyline from Return to Oz is borrowed from the plot elements here. If you're familiar with that movie, you'll know what's coming most of the time. And Ozma does have some really great plot elements, plus it introduced the fabulous Billina. I'm really enjoying how Shanower is adapting the Oz books. He obviously has a great deal of affection for the source material, and I'd say that it's a fairly close adaptation, from my memory. I do like the art styl...

While travelling to Australia with Uncle Henry, Dorothy is shipwrecked in the Land of Ev where she meets Billina the hen and the Tic-Toc Man. They come across the Wheelers which Skottie Young demonically illustrates to full effect.Ozma and all of Dorothy's old friends also come to Ev in order to free the royal family from the clutched of the Nome King. The Nome King is a reoccurring villain in future Oz books and he's perfect for it. I love all of Young's illustrations in the underground and par...

Oz introduces far too much content that fails to add relevant to an already captivating story resulting in a drawn narrative.

I LOVE this series! In this 3rd book in the series Dorothy comes back and we meet many new characters. Dorothy and Uncle Henry head off on a journey by ship to Australia. As fate would have it Dorothy washes overboard and ends up on a strange island with a talking hen named Bill. Dorothy resolves to call her Billina and the two explore the mysterious Land of Ev. It isn't long before they get involved in the problems of the Land of Ev. They find a mechanical man named Tik Tok who fills them in on...

Last year I discovered Marvel Comics' adaptations of L Frank Baum's classic Oz books. Beginning with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and continuing with The Marvelous Land of Oz, the combination of Eric Shanower's adaptation of Baum's writing with Skottie Young's amazing artwork had me sold from the first pages. The third volume, a hardcover comic collecting the eight comic book issues of Ozma of Oz, is now in stores, and is my favorite so far in this Oz series.If you're familiar with the Walt Disne...

Rating: 4 The retelling from the story was really great and Mr. Shanower does an excellent forwarding letter, which gets you really excited about reading the story and why he loves it so much. The art was excellent like always and it was an exciting read.

I read the first two graphic novels my Marvel a few months ago when I did an Oz month on my blog and really loved them. The art style is pretty amazing for one thing. So whimsical. What I really love about these is how close the author stays to the books. So ... I have only read the first Oz novel by Baum but these graphic novels keep the series going perfectly. This book is about Dorthy going back to OZ ... and meeting back up with her team of friends. We get to visit with Ozma again and meet

While I'm not a huge fan of Skottie Young's art [too many facial expressions involving mouths open very wide...] this is a fun graphic retelling of the third Oz book. Shanower's pacing seemed well suited to the material, and the story moved along quickly and in a way which will entertain readers, whether they've read the originals or not.As in the original prose version, this volume added several characters to the world of Oz, including the delightful Tik-Tok, a copper mechanical man that needs
