Dorothy: Locked & Loaded
Return to Oz through the eyes of the granddaughter of the famous Dorothy Gale. Dot is a combat veteran freshly home from the Marines, and the Oz she encounters is nothing like the stories she was told on grammy’s knee.
Dorothy: Locked & Loaded is a modern tale — more adult, more twisted — a 150-episode tour de force that will make you forget Kansas ever existed in the first place. Originally written in 2010 by six different authors, this two-year project is experiencing its rebirth.
The Scarecrow is a drunk. The Tin Man a murderer. The Lion a music mogul bent on dominating Oz. And Glinda is far from good; she now rules Oz with an iron fist.
