Namesake - Emma

In the world of Namesake, all fairy tales are real.  At least in their own dimension.  On ocassion people from our world are pulled into the worlds of fair tales to fulfill the role of their character, their "namesake."  Dorthy will go to Oz, Alice will go to Wonderland, ect ect.  And if these Namesakes survive their journey, they return to our world with tremendous power, where they are then caught up in a conflict waged between those who wish to maintain the status quo and those who wish to destroy it.

It has been this way for as long as anyone still alive can remember.  But then when a girl who appears to have no namesake is drawn into a fairy tale world, it throws everything into confusion.  And now dominoes that have been building for over a hundred years begin to fall and thus our story begins.  Magic, adventure, and mystery await.

First comic.


Emma Crewe

Confused but not hapless is Emma Crewe, main character of our series.  A "normal" twenty six year old woman, Emma finds herself witness to a out of control fire at the library caused by the two warring factions when she's sucked into a mysterious portal to Oz.  She inadvertently turns the wicked witch into a purse before donning the witches shoes (who turn out to be the previous wicked witch) and sets off with both of them to discover how to get home and why Oz is all of a sudden covered in more sleeping poppies than it has any right to.  And then things get weird.

"Well at the moment you're currently killer on both my heels and my ears."

Hearing is an impressive feat for a pair of feet wear. 
The answer, ironically, is "Not in Oz anymore."

    1. Keh! Yeah, the sentient shoes are probably some of the sassiest characters in the series.
