Oz: Gear City takes readers deeper into the nightmare, revealing a hidden corner of Oz where children disappear and survival comes with a price. As Pinky and Syko are pulled into the horrors of Gear City, they uncover secrets that connect directly to the larger Oz: Nightmare in Emerald story and suggest that something far more sinister is happening throughout Oz. Dark, twisted, and packed with new characters and mysteries, Gear City expands the world while planting clues that will change how you see the main series. If you think you know Oz, you haven't seen this part of the Yellow Brick Road yet.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE OZ!
Celebrate 70 Years of Television Magic with a One-Night-Only Wizard of Oz Experience!
Saturday, November 7, 2026 Festivities Begin at 6:00 PM Movie Begins at 7:00 PM
Central Cinema – Knoxville, Tennessee
For generations, The Wizard of Oz has captured our imaginations, filled our homes with wonder, and reminded us that there's no place like home!
This November, Resolute Nocturne and Central Cinema invite you to celebrate a very special milestone: 70 years since The Wizard of Oz first made its way into American living rooms through television in 1956!
And we're not just showing a movie. We're bringing a little bit of Las Vegas Sphere magic to Knoxville!
We're transforming this special screening into an immersive Oz-inspired celebration, complete with:
1) Flying Monkeys! Watch out! The Witch's mischievous minions may be closer than you think!
2) Prizes and Surprises! You never know what treasures await you along the Yellow Brick Road!
3) Meet Dorothy! Our favorite Kansas girl will be making a special appearance!
4) The Witch from Oz: Gear City! Meet a character from our exciting independent comic book series, bringing a darker side of Oz to life!
5) A Mini Vegas Sphere-Inspired Experience! We're working to bring some extra theatrical magic and immersive excitement to this beloved classic, right here in Knoxville!
6) A Special Screening of The Wizard of Oz! Experience the timeless film the way it deserves to be seen—on the big screen, surrounded by fellow Oz fans!
WHY THIS NIGHT MATTERS
In 1956, The Wizard of Oz began a television tradition that introduced this remarkable film to generations of families. For many, watching Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion became an unforgettable family experience.
Seventy years later, we're inviting Knoxville to celebrate that tradition together!
But this evening is about more than nostalgia. It's also about supporting the creative community that keeps imagination alive.
When you attend, you're supporting Central Cinema, one of Knoxville's beloved independent movie theaters, and local independent comic book creators who continue to explore new stories and adventures in the Land of Oz through titles like Oz: Nightmare in Emerald and Oz: Gear City.
We want to show that Knoxville can create memorable, imaginative entertainment experiences of its own. We may not have the Las Vegas Sphere, but we've got plenty of creativity, passion, and Oz magic!

ONLY 50 AVAILABLE — OWN A PIECE OF OZ HISTORY
This is more than a reward package. It is a genuine piece of Oz history.
We have secured the final 50 original yellow bricks from the historic Land of Oz on Beech Mountain, North Carolina, and we are making them available in an extremely limited Oz: Gear City collector package. The Land of Oz opened in 1970 as an immersive journey that allowed visitors to experience Dorothy's adventure by literally following the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City. The historic road was constructed from tens of thousands of specially glazed yellow bricks.
And the history surrounding that road is incredible. On June 15, 1970, Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds helped open the Land of Oz with her 13-year-old daughter Carrie Fisheryears before Carrie would become known around the world as Princess Leia. The park's history also connects directly to the original Wizard of Oz: Ray Bolger, the Scarecrow from the 1939 film, broke ground for the Judy Garland Memorial Overlook during the park's development.
THE ULTIMATE OZ: GEAR CITY COLLECTOR PACKAGE
Only 50 of these packages will ever be offered, and each contains a remarkable collection of individually numbered pieces:
-
One original yellow brick from the historic Land of Oz, signed and individually numbered by Oz artist Les L. Garner.
-
Certificate of Authenticity, telling the history and provenance of the brick and signed by writer and purchaser of the bricks Rick Molchan.
-
Limited Oz: Gear City Double Cover Edition, signed and numbered. The book begins with a black-and-white cover, but when you open it, the image transforms into a full-color cover—our tribute to Dorothy's legendary transition from the black-and-white world of Kansas into the color of Oz.
-
Limited-edition art print paying homage to Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia, also signed and numbered.
The Land of Oz wasn't simply another amusement park. It was designed around the idea of walking Dorothy's journey yourself—through the Gale farmhouse and tornado experience, onto the Yellow Brick Road, and ultimately toward the Emerald City. More than half a century later, that Yellow Brick Road remains one of the park's defining pieces of history.
That makes this reward particularly special to us. Oz: Gear City takes the mythology of Oz somewhere darker, stranger and more dangerous but its roots remain firmly planted in the world that began with Dorothy taking that first step onto the Yellow Brick Road.
One historic brick. One signed and numbered double-cover comic. One signed and numbered print. One COA.
ONLY 50 COMPLETE SETS.
Once these final 50 bricks are gone, we cannot recreate this reward.
Own a piece of the Yellow Brick Road. Own a piece of Oz history. And take that history with us into Gear City.
In BRIDES #2, Eva’s war against Dracula’s three legendary Brides becomes darker, bloodier, and far more dangerous.

The world of the vampires expands as secrets about their society and origins are revealed and a new power prepares to take control. With gorgeous, haunting artwork by Les L. Garner, BRIDES #2 delivers gothic horror, brutal action, and a fresh twist on the classic Dracula mythology.
You know Dracula. You’ve heard of his Brides. Now discover what happens when the Brides become the hunted.

Brides
Brides is a gothic-horror graphic novella— A story of bloody ambitions, broken bodies, and a woman who dares to remake herself. Eva is no passive creation. As the sister to Adam—the first monster whose emotions were dulled and controlled through Van Helsing’s experiments—she is determined to escape a similar fate. Seeking out Van Helsing not for salvation but as a means to find Dracula, Eva believes that becoming a vampire will grant her the freedom she craves.

Savage Axes of Wolfheart
Between the times of the beginning and the civilized world there, there was an age of Axes and Mysticism stretching across what little of the known world had been discovered. From the barley known Dwarven Mountains of the West to the towering peaks of the Orc infested dragon mountains to the East. From the snow covered Island of Velium in the Far North with its giant beasts and across the ferocious Kunarc Island to the South covered with vile creatures and tribes of lizard people. There was a warrior who traversed this terrain. A warrior who visited the Dwarven City of Minok, traded with the tribesman in their huts on Velium. An axe for hire who walked the city's of man, Freeport, Trinksik, and Scara Brae. A barbarian who stalked the mercenary town of Serpent's Hold and marveled at the Magical City of Magnicia. The warrior who called the Dragon Mountains home, with raven H hair, brilliant green eyes, great strength, agility, and a healthy thirst for ale. Vesper Wolfheart, an axe for hire, seeks the treasures of this savage landscape.
