Classics Reimagined—The Unicorn of Odd #1 Variant RI (10) - >>3123846
In the second installation of IDW’s My Little Pony: Classics Reimagined line, L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz gets pony-fied! Travel through all of Odd with Applejack as Dorothy, Pinkie Pie as Scarecrow, Rarity as Tin Woodsmare, and Fluttershy as Cowardly Lion. In issue #1, Dorothy lives an ordinary life at her farm in Ponyville, Kansas, with her Uncle Henrie and Granny Em. But a tornado whisks her away to a magical land of Breezies, silver horseshoes, and good and evil princesses. It almost makes her want to sing… (But she won’t. Those songs aren’t in the public do-mane.)
I guess hers supposedly feels like classic literature while Andy is more on action and Michaela? Eh….
Both Classics Reimagined so far are illustrated by the same artist - Jenna Ayoub
Does it need a pun? Wizards already exist in Equestria, more or less, though I can accept ‘unicorn’ as a substitute; but ‘odd’? It sounds awful and isn’t even a pun. “The Unicorn of Oz” would have been fine. The Crystal Empire would have been a perfect stand-in for the Emerald City, though that muddies the recognition even further. The point is, there’s a reason all the Oz spin-offs have Oz in the title. Without the art as context, would anyone even know what the title was inferring?
How else can they pun it?
