At once both a re-imagining of the Wizard Of Oz and a sequel; Tin Man acts a wonderful bridge to both without losing a sense of it's own identity - it's able to stand up on it's own two feet, so it's possible to watch it without having seen the Wizard of Oz film (for shame, if you haven't.. or read the book either..)
This is as lavish as it is deep - it's not just about finding the wonderful land of Oz (or the o-zee as it's called phonetically) it's about a quest for identity. DG is searching for her own place in the world - the same way that Dorothy was in hers. On the path she's joined by the Tin Man (a former law enforcer); Glitch, the straw-man of the story who's had his brain removed by the witch Azkadellia and then there's Raw who's a hybrid "viewer" who is the lion, in appearance if nothing else... there's flying monkeys that are genuinely creepy and keep an eye out for Toto too...
I love this series for it's depth and imagination and it's lush production values. It never scrimps on quality and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. This is a welcome and much loved addition to my collection and I can't recommend it enough.
