I loved this! Very sweet. It's an adaptation faithful to the original book and Skottie Young's art is absolutely perfect for it. I was most familiar with his art from the "babies" variant covers of various Marvel comics, which I liked, but I wondered it it would be a bit juvenile. I shouldn't have worried. It was definitely stylized (Skottie doesn't draw like anyone else I can think of, which is definitely a compliment), but while it definitely had a sweetness that really complimented the story, it was also expressive and really beautiful. Very fun. I should track down the other adaptations of Oz books.
