Legend of Oz: The Wicked West # 2 (Aspen/Big Dog Ink Comics 2015)

Legend of Oz: The Wicked West #2 (Aspen/Big Dog Ink, 2015)

The yellow brick road is paved with lead and gunpowder.

Following the high-octane relaunch under the Aspen/Big Dog Ink partnership, Dorothy Gale continues her perilous journey through an Oz you never saw in storybooks. This isn't a land of whimsical songs; it's a brutal frontier where the "Wicked" factions rule with iron fists and magic is as volatile as a desert storm.

In this second issue, Dorothy and her motley crew of outlaws and survivors push deeper into the Western territories. As she begins to understand the true power of the ruby "spurs" she carries, the targets on their backs grow larger. Tom Hutchison delivers a gritty, fast-paced reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic, blending the tropes of a classic Western with the fantastical elements of Oz.

Issue Highlights:

• The Cowardly Lion: See a fierce, battle-hardened interpretation of the classic character, reinvented for the lawless wastes.

• Frontier Magic: Explore how the "Wicked" influence has corrupted the land, turning familiar landmarks into dangerous traps.

• High-Stakes Action: Dorothy proves she’s more than just a girl from Kansas, showing the grit required to survive a world that wants her dead.
