In the first of three new Oz the Great and Powerful posters we see the Wicked Witch of the West. There are two more posters to be released and they are panels of a larger image. What will be next?

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.

“Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth and written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Philip Steuer and Palak Patel are serving as executive producers. “Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

Comic Book Review & Giveaway: The Only Living Boy

14 Comments

The other day I got a message in my inbox from Comic creator David Gallaher. He and Steve Ellis have created a new young adult graphic novel called The Only Living Boy. David sent me the first issue in .PDF form which I read and enjoyed. I also enjoyed Steve’s artistic work on the book. I looked back over some of the things that both men have done and I have a few of their books in my collection dating back to the days when I only collected Wildstorm comics.

The book was an interesting read. A boy is on the run and ends up in another world, or maybe it is the same world but a different time, that will probably be revealed as the story progresses. Already there is a colorful cast of characters and some mystery.

The main character Erik Farrell is on the run from something. We don’t know exactly from what but he ends up in this other world and is again on the run from the strange and fantastic creatures there. Erik find his courage and that is when the story really begins.
