A preview of The O.Z. #3
Haunted by her past, a disillusioned soldier must survive the war-torn land of Oz.

Dorothy's adventures aren't quite over yet, with the third issue of The O.Z. going live on Kickstarter, earlier this weeek. Writer David Pepose (Savage Avengers, Space Ghost), along with artist Ruben Rojas (Proton, New Humanz), has taken a childhood classic and remade it into a war story. This isn't the OZ you grew up with!

Will Dorothy be able to find the all-powerful Silver Slippers against the warring factions of the Tin Soldier, the Scarecrow, and the Prince of Lions? Find out if she brings peace to the Occupied zone by checking out a preview down below! If you enjoy the preview, be sure to check out the campaign and back today.

THE O.Z. #1-3

Writer - David Pepose

Artist - Ruben Rojas

Colorist - Whitney Cogar

Letterer - DC Hopkins

THE O.Z. follows Dorothy Gale’s granddaughter and namesake, a disillusioned Iraq war veteran who is caught in a tornado and dropped into the war-torn land of Oz. Now leading the Resistance against the evil Scarecrow’s regime, Dorothy must join forces with the Tin Soldier, the Prince of Lions and Jack Pumpkinhead if she hopes to find the all-powerful Silver Slippers and bring peace to the Occupied Zone… or as the locals call it, The O.Z.

"It's been a long time in the making, and we couldn't be more thrilled for THE O.Z. to reach its triumphant conclusion on Kickstarter!" said series writer David Pepose. "We've been so lucky to have the support of over 1,500 Yellow Brick Road Warriors across our previous two campaigns. That said, Dorothy's adventures aren't over just yet — our third campaign promises to be a blockbuster finale, and fans of L. Frank Baum's classic Wizard of Oz will truly love how we conclude our epic saga of THE O.Z."

The O.Z. #3 is currently live and funding a 44-page issue. There are specials and catch-up tiers for backers who have missed previous Kickstarter campaigns.

  • Behind-the-scenes materials, including David Pepose’s script, Ruben Rojas’ raw inks, and Whitney Cogar’s untouched colors;
  • Four covers by Ruben Rojas, Maan House, Joshua Hood, and Serg Acuña;
