Oz Omnibus | Eric Shanower

pick

I took my time reading this one. A few pages here & there because it is massive. And, truthfully after the first book, The Wizard of Oz, things get weird. I mean really, really, “what the heck is going on in this story” weird. But…BUT Skottie Young‘s art is perfect for this kind of weirdness & Jean-Francois Beaulieu‘s colors are, as always phenomenal. It‘s a visually stunning comic even when the story leaves you scratching your head. A fun read.

Wicked: Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West | Gregory Maguire

pick

With the continued success of the musical and the triumphant movie based on this book, I decided it was time to venture into this book. If you are living under a rock, Gregory Maguire's book delves into the life of Elphaba, otherwise known as The Wicked Witch of the West. His vision of Oz and the characters we all know and love is filled with heart, emotion, and societal and morality questions. What are good and evil, and who defines them?

repost for @BookmarkTavern:

Welcome! Whether you have arrived in Oz by Tornado, Rainbow, Magic Carpet, or the Nome King‘s tunnels, I am so excited to spend the next year exploring the marvelous land of Oz with you all.

We‘ve got a year before Wicked: Part Two comes out, so I‘ve doubled up June & July for the books.

I look forward to seeing all of your thoughts! 💚
