About the author
Isabelle Melançon
22Ìýbooks38ÌýfollowersIsabelle Melançon is a French-Canadian artist born in 1985. She grew up in a family of book and comic-lovers. She reads manga, European comics and American comics and has been drawing ever since she could lift a pencil. She used to want to be a dragon-riding knight, then envisioned a career change as a fantasy writer at the age of 10.
Since then, Isabelle has been drawing her way through school, which included doodling on lockers, and graduated from the University of Ottawa with a visual arts and administration double-major. Isabelle has a few published graphic novels and art exhibits under her belt. Namesake is her first long-term project.
Isabelle’s drawing style is heavily influenced by American and Japanese animation, as well as older Victorian and french illustration work, creating a fluid yet detailed mix.
She is madly in love with fairy tales and literature and enjoys playing with the classics in her comic and written works.
She has been maintaining a LiveJournal “comic journal� about her life and favorite fandoms for the past five years. She currently lives in Montréal, Québec with her significant other, “Link�.
She bites and pokes with a rusty spoon when provoked and believes that sarcasm can be an art form.

While Emma, Warrick, Agha and their allies close in on the secrets of Ozma and the dangers surrounding, Elaine and Ben desperately try to contact her from home, only to find themselves face to face with people possessing abnormal abilities...Melançon and Lavey-Heaton brings more mystery and perils illustrated beautifully for fans of fantasy and literary lore. Even if she succeeds, where will Emma's strange place as a Writer take her next?

I always love reading the print versions of this series. The art is so beautiful that the webcomic just never does it justice. Also so much has happened since these comics first ran, I need the refresher. The Oz parts are the strongest in this story, and it is always a treat to return there.

Very high 3 stars, the art and the characters are endearing. Sometimes I have a tiny bit of problem following the plot because it seems like there are SO MANY characters. I love Warrick to death, though, and I'm a pretty big fan of Elaine and Fred, oh, and the cats from Wonderland are super cool.

This one didn't really have me as interested as the other ones but of course it ends with a lot being unresolved. I would like to know what happens but I probably won't read the next book, at least not for a long time.

So many twists; so much intrigue! WHAT IS GOING ON?

Still an amazing story! My only complaint is that the format was a bit off in places.

And now the prologue is complete! Which means I want more right now...

I really love the art and the stories in this series. I found this one a little harder to follow, but I think that may be pandemic brain.

Slightly more convoluted.

As always, Isa and Meg rocked this out of the park. Seriously, this entire series is worth not only reading, but acquiring a copy of the book to keep at home.
