The Wonderful World of Oz Is Getting A Zenescope Makeover.
It’s certainly safe to assume Dorthy ain’t in Kansas anymore.
Yep, at long last Zenescope Entertainment is bringing the land of Oz into it’s Grimm Fairy Tales Universe. As you’ll see in the full press release below this is a long awaited adaption of a popular and well known franchise, and it’s due out this summer. It couldn’t come at a better time either with the recent release of Oz The Great and Powerful along with the future sequels. If you’ve read anything in the Grimm Fairy Tales universe before you know these books are great for putting, both expected and unexpected twists on stories we’ve all known since we were children.
Oz has been hinted at from Zenescope for quite a while now, and it’s great to see it finally come to fruition, and we’ll only have to wait a few more months for it to hit comic shop shelves everywhere.
Now check out the full press release below followed by all kinds of fancy covers, plus a little something else to old you all over.
Zenescope Entertainment Announces OZ
Zenescope Entertainment has announced plans to publish its newest Grimm Fairy Tales comic book spinoff entitled OZ. Fans of Zenescope’s comics have been looking forward to the company’s re-imagining of this classic story for quite a while as it’s been hinted at in numerous issues over the past two years. Oz will finally make its much-anticipated debut at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con and hit retailer shelves in late July.
Zenescope’s President and co-founder, Joe Brusha, will be handling the writing for the new Oz series. “We’re very excited to finally reveal the fourth realm of the Grimm Fairy Tales Universe.” said Brusha “We’ve already introduced alternate versions of Neverland and Wonderland and have been planning Oz for such a long time and now we finally get to deliver something epic to our fans. I hope they enjoy reading it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.”
This modern take on the Oz story retells the classic mythology with a fascinating blend of dark fantasy and action-packed adventure. It begins as the witches of Oz search for a lost weapon of power known as the Veridian Scepter. Their quest ultimately leads them to the unlikeliest of places – the farmlands of Kansas – and specifically to the home of a young woman named Dorothy Gale.
The first issue features interior artwork by newcomer Rolando Neto and covers by superstar artists J Scott Campbell, Artgerm, Eric Basaldua and Ale Garza and is available now for pre-order in Diamond’s May edition of PREVIEWS for a July 2013 release.
