You think you know Oz? Think again.

First encountered by Dorothy in Oz: Nightmare in Emerald #3, Gear City is a terrifying Victorian steampunk world hidden beneath the Emerald City.  A place of grinding gears, sinister machinery, unimaginable power, and secrets that Oz was never meant to reveal.
 

But what REALLY lies beneath the Yellow Brick Road?  Who is Boq, and how has this corrupt figure been secretly bringing children into Oz? Where do these children go, and what horrifying purpose do they serve?
 

Deep below the beautiful illusion of the Emerald City, ruthless Enforcers maintain order, protect forbidden knowledge, and ensure that Oz's darkest secrets remain buried. Here, power is everything, innocence is expendable, and the machinery never stops.


And somewhere within this nightmare, Syko and Pinky, two unlikely underground champions, find themselves caught in a world where survival means challenging those who control it and a Witch that is determined to save Oz.

​

Written by Rick D. Molchan and Les L. Garner, with stunning artwork by Garner, Oz: Gear City #1 expands the twisted universe of Oz: Nightmare in Emerald and reveals a side of Oz you've never imagined.

Our Kickstarter was FUNDED IN MINUTES, thanks to our incredible backers! But the nightmare is only beginning, and there's still time to become part of it!

Savage Axes of Wolfheart

SAoW for website.png

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.
