The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #7 – Review

By Eric Shanower (Writer), Skottie Young (Art), and Jean-Francois Beaulieu (Colors)

Some Thoughts Before The Review: I normally don’t do short reviews, but when I sat down to write about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #7…well let’s just say that I realized I’ve pretty much run out of ways to praise the brilliant mini-series for the length of a full review.

The Story: Thanks to some clever thinking by a humbug from Omaha claiming to be a wizard, the Lion gets some courage, the Scarecrow gets a brain, and the Tin Man gets a heart. Dorothy, however, has a wish that is very difficult to deal with…

It’s All Good: So…how killer does the Scarecrow look on the cover?! Alright, with that out of the way, I might as well just go ahead and say that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #7 is just as awesome as the first six issues of the series. The artwork is incredible, the colors look brilliant, and the writing couldn’t be any better. You probably expected as much. What you probably didn’t expect is that there is a fantastic teaser image on the final page that actually makes me wish for the winter to come a bit early this year. Be sure to check it out!

Conclusion: If you haven’t been buying The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a monthly, be sure to get the collected edition as soon as possible. I can’t possibly recommend the mini-series enough…

Grade: A+
