Two more Zenescope characters. This one is their equivalent of the Wicked Witches of the East and West. One of the famous lines in the Wizard of Oz films is "Only Bad Witches are ugly". That certainly doesn't apply to Zenescope characters. ^_^

Zenescope had multiple series starring Oz characters and the Witches of the East and West (their names are Lynessa and Zamora) are the main villains of the earlier ones. These characters are about as evil as you could get using their magic to enslave and torture the denizens of Oz. They are shown to be particularly cruel in the series Tales from Oz where each of the Wizard of Oz co-leads (the Tin Woodsman, The Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow) are given a twisted origin. A particularly memorable instance is in the Scarecrow's origin where he was shown at one time to be human. His family is murdered by Lynessa and Zamora and the witches proceed to turn him into a Scarecrow so they could continue to torture and humiliate him further.
In the comics both characters are shown to be very clever convincing armies to surrender peacefully only to brutally wipe them out without a fight. These women are a little on the darker end of the Villainess spectrum and part of me is (rightfully) afraid of them. The other part feels like it might be fun to be enslaved by these two witches especially if there is foot domination and worship involved.
Ok everyone. One more Halloween post left to close out the night
