The Demon on Wheels!

A new performance drug called V-Gas is turning drivers into fearless, violent monsters, and after a brutal clash with the Crazy Mask Gang, Speed Racer may be its most dangerous victim. Racing harder, faster, and more ruthless than ever, Speed transforms the Mach 5 into a weapon, leaving wreckage in his wake. Now Racer X must make an impossible call: save his brother from the gas’s grip… or stop the demon on wheels before he destroys everything.

Find out in The O.Z., the Ringo Award-winning fantasy comic from acclaimed writer David Pepose and superstar artist Ruben Rojas that transforms a childhood classic into a war story for the ages. Returning to Kickstarter with our double-sized, 44-page finale, this campaign is dedicated to bringing this adrenaline-fueled twist on L. Frank Baum’s iconic Oz novels to life.

The Scarecrow War Begins

Decades ago, when a young girl defeated the Wicked Witch of the West, she said farewell to the magical land of Oz… but unwittingly plunged the country into years of brutal civil war. But a generation later, the name of Dorothy Gale lives on in her granddaughter, an Iraq war veteran grappling with disillusionment and PTSD — until a tornado strands her in the war-torn battlefield known only as The O.Z. Forced to navigate warring factions led by the Tin Soldier, the Scarecrow, and the Prince of Lions, Dorothy must face her past and embark on a dangerous quest for the all-powerful Silver Slippers if she hopes to bring peace to the Occupied Zone — or as the locals call it, The O.Z.
