The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #1 On Sale Now
Thursday, December 11, 2008 at 10:42AM The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #1 is on shelves now. You've been hearing me run my mouth for awhile now about this book and it's finally here. I can't say enough about all the people involved. Jean on colors is just making my heart melt on a daily basis. The editors seem to be getting paid to simply email me and tell me that I rule the planet and Marvel as a whole has put so much support behind it. But Eric Shanower has really done a fantastic job of bringing his long history and love for Oz to our take on the book.
So, run out and pick up the first issue and then come back and let me know what you think!
HERE is a great review if you're interested.

This is the first review I've seen of the issue, and it so highly rated the book and your work that I thought I'd post it:

Congrats! I'm looking forward to this series.
woot! cannot wait!
Shit! This looks so f'in amazing.
But it's so bad, that in Poland it will be published after a two or three years or maybe even more, after the original USA publishing...
BTW man, you did an awesome job on it. Looks how it should looks.
So wishing you luck, health, more awesome works and a long life to make us happy with your art, for the following Christmas! :)
picked it up and read it yesterday and I got to say that I loved it. Your art is awesome, whimsical, and awe inspiring, the writing is solid, and fun, and the colors really pull the whole thing together.
Great job! looking forward to #2
Amazing book, seriously man. I read through it and was staring at the pages for minutes! It was a great week in comics, art-wise, but you knocked them all out of the park! Looking forward to #2 and the eventual Hardcover!
Got it and I loved it, man. The artwork is badass. Can't wait for issue 2.
I loved it too and gave you a quick review:

Scottie, we met at comicon 2007. great work!!
Dude...great job, some of your best work man, I really dig the scratchyness of the lines and the coloring is great, really enjoyed it, looking forward to the next issues, oh and great design for the scarecrow, love it!
Tu trabajo es genial!!!
Pretty sweet!
Thank you So much for this,
I actually bought several copies for my little sister who is a fan of yours and my friends who don't necessarily read comics but love The Wizard of Oz, I really hope the love it as much as I did.
This comic is great, I just got it today! Your artwork is amazing! I love the style of it. I look forward to future issues :)
When can I stab you in the face for being so awesome?
I picked it up and want my money back. Your work seems forced and dull,even a bit boring. You were on a higher level before , an artist to watch, but soon enough we'll find your books in the 10 cent bin.
First issue looked stunning look forward to seeing more! If this gets put in a hardcover with some funky extras, I will buy it without doubt and pass along the single issues to a good home.
Keep on keepin' on Skottie!
Picked up the first issue and LOVED it. I cannot wait for this to be released in a TPB so I can read it all at once ... not that it will keep me from buying the single issues mind you. ;-)
I haven't had much time to drop by and tell you that the book is incredible!
You and Jean make an incredible team, I can't wait until it is collected into an oversized hardcover book.
Keep up the terrific work!
got the issue after seeing the solicitation and getting the free preview issue. love the flow of the art and depiction of the characters. can't wait for the next issue. great work!
I have been a big fan of your work for a few years now and I was very excited to see your new work on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Picked up issue number 1 yesterday and I have added it to my account at my local comic book shop so I won't miss an issue. I'm really enjoying watching the progression of your work and style. Keep up the great work.
Looks Great and the Toto design is soooo cute.
Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow. Keep up the good work SY.
Genial !!!!!!! me encanta tu estilo
Stopped by three stores in Cleveland today. All sold out!!!!! Sucks for me, but good news for you Skottie. I put a special order in for later this week, can't wait to read it. Pissed I have to wait three more days.
