review:
'Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return' is a prequel to the upcoming movie. As such, it ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger that is apparently continued in the movie.
When the Jester, the brother of the Wicked Witch of the West, shows up, he is intent on taking over Oz. From floods in Munchkinland to earthquakes in dainty china country, his chaos spreads. The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion decide that they need the help of Dorothy in order to stop him, so they have to find a way to bring her back to Oz from Kansas.
The Jester is powerful, but inept and played for laughs, so he doesn't get to scary for the little ones. The Tin Man is also played for laughs. It seems the heart he was given has made him an emotional coward, and I'm not crazy about that change. The art is good and looks like the characters in the movie.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.
