the dang nice and appeased birthday party!!! Geez!!! The "climax" of the story is the Birthday Party of Ozma and it's only that, a birthday party, there isn't any secret plot or the intrusion of some nasty villain trying to spoil the party, no, they have a real nice and appeased party.Īlso, you get a huge bunch of "guest appearances" that they are characters from other Baum's book unrelated with Oz, that one can think that a "crossover" is not a bad idea, however they didn't do anything useful or relevant on the story but to attend to. However the whole story is quite pointless and without any real danger (sure we have the Scoodlers but not nearly a threat comparing to previous adventures. Sure, there are cool things like having back Toto in the story, and the new characters are real interesting, the Shaggy Man, Button-Bright and Polychrome.
Okay, about the story in this particular adventure.
Of course, the best option always will be just to read the original books (that I will do, hopefully in a near future) but if you want to read the OZ stories in a graphic format, never doubt that getting these ones is a great option.ĬOOL NEW CHARACTERS BUT NO PLOT OR CLIMAX Frank Baum.ĭue the classic film "The Wizard of Oz", that I love, I was interested to read this graphic adaptations, that while I am reading them, I did research and I can assure that they are quite faithful to the original source material.
In case you don't about those adaptations and/or you didn't read my previous reviews about the other OZ graphic novels, I can assure you that the formidable teamwork of Shanower and Young is a delight and you won't find a better graphic adaption around from the original work by L. Frank Baum did on the original prose book, that I feel it wasn't as good as his previous engagaments with the world of Oz. So, I think quite fair to give a 4 stars rating overall.Įric Shanower did his best to work out the book, but after all, he had kinda tied his hands due of having to work based on what L.
Frank Baum barely can reach a 3 stars rating. If I think on the graphic novel per se, easily I could give it easily a full 5 stars rating, but the story that it's an adaptation of the original book by L. My rating to this particular graphic novel is an average between the great presentation by Eric Shanower (writer) and Scottie Young (artist) and the original source material by L. Writer: Eric Shanower (based on the original works by L.
