Oz: Ozma of Oz (Marvel's Oz Comics #3) 
I read the first two graphic novels my Marvel a few months ago when I did an Oz month on my blog and really loved them. The art style is pretty amazing for one thing. So whimsical. What I really love about these is how close the author stays to the books. So ... I have only read the first Oz novel by Baum but these graphic novels keep the series going perfectly. This book is about Dorthy going back to OZ ... and meeting back up with her team of friends. We get to visit with Ozma again and meet
Eric Shanower knows how to adapt Oz. I love how much each of these volumes follow the original stories and with suck great artwork. This is one of my favorite books in the Oz series and has so many of the elements that inspired Return to Oz from 1984. I really enjoy what Shanower has done for the original Oz novels and giving them new life.

Ok so apparently I read the third one but it doesn't change a thing haha... I was expecting so much more from this graphic novel. The art style wasn't that good and the story was boring ... I won't continue the series.
Rating: 4 The retelling from the story was really great and Mr. Shanower does an excellent forwarding letter, which gets you really excited about reading the story and why he loves it so much. The art was excellent like always and it was an exciting read.
Another delightful - and beautiful - entry in the series, and as with the previous book a story I was completely unfamiliar with. How have these not been filmed? And why do they instead keep making inferior movies like "The Wiz," James Franco's lame "Oz the Great and Powerful," TV's interesting update "Tin Man," and Disney's 1985 "Return to Oz," (which was a loose and apparently terrible mash-up of Ozma and the previous Marvelous Land of Oz)? Now that folks are seriously adapting things like
Dorothy is traveling with Uncle Henry to Australia, but gets swept off the ship by a big wave during a storm, lands in a shipping crate with a talking chicken, Billina and washes ashore at the land of Ev. She finds a key that unlocks Tic-too, a mechanical man. They then travel to the Capital and embark on a journey to save the Queen and her family.

Ozma Of Oz is a great book, and much of the storyline from Return to Oz is borrowed from the plot elements here. If you're familiar with that movie, you'll know what's coming most of the time. And Ozma does have some really great plot elements, plus it introduced the fabulous Billina. I'm really enjoying how Shanower is adapting the Oz books. He obviously has a great deal of affection for the source material, and I'd say that it's a fairly close adaptation, from my memory.
