Return to Oz in “Battle Brick Road 2”

Follow the Battle Brick- follow the Battle Brick…

Over the weekend, independent comic book creator and prolific indie comic letterer Eric Weathers launched a crowdfunding campaign for Battle Brick Road 2, a 64-page, action adventure graphic novel loosely based on The Wizard of Oz.

Here’s the official Battle Brick Road pitch taken from the campaign page followed by the latest trailer:

Return to the fallen utopia of Oz as Thea’s mission to find her missing father grows more deadly with every step down the Yellow Brick Road. Along the way, Thea and TOTO are joined by a vengeful scarecrow, a child-like automaton, and a downcast king. Join the journey as this unlikely team searches for the fabled Emerald City and the enigmatic wizard rumored to reside within its walls.

Backers can get a copy of Battle Brick Road 2 (signed or unsigned) for $25. If you have more cash to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:

  • Multiple copies of the book
  • Variant covers
  • A print collection
  • Operation Zephyr: Behind-the-scenes concept and sketch book
  • T-shirt
  • A 7-inch vinyl EP
  • A reprint edition of the first book if you want to catch up
