Dorothy of Oz Prequel #3

The beloved characters of Oz find themselves in a wonderfully strange candy-coated landscape on this cover, with the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion (sporting a tiny crown), and the Tin Man grouped together as a towering marshmallow soldier in a blue uniform brandishes a sword triumphantly in the foreground. Candy canes, peppermint swirls, and snow-dusted confectionery trees fill the background, giving the whole scene a delightfully surreal, sugary charm. IDW's 2012 prequel series clearly has a lot of fun expanding the world of Oz, and issue #3 promises an adventure that's equal parts whimsical and action-packed.
