(left to right: Cain, D.G., Glitch, Raw and Azkadellia)Tin Man is a new story of the Wizard of Oz, or a reinmagining. It's a three part mini series, so I will be writing about each one in different entries.
The story starts out about girl named D.G. who lives on a farm with her parents. She works at as a waitress and hates how mediocre her life is. She's always felt she doesn't belong and that there's more out there in the world than just the farm. She's also been having repeat nightmares that are confusing an scary. Her latest dream is the same as the others, except this time she sees a beautiful woman with lavender eyes that tells her "A storm is coming." She tells her parents about these dreams and they don't seem concerned too much. But, behind her back, they discuss about how she's now having "the dreams."
D.G. has been also drawing various pictures of far off places and people. Her father says the pictures remind him of his old childhood home; a place called Milltown. Later that night, the evil sorceress from a place called The O.Z. finds out that there's a light of hope in the Other Side and she's worried that it will interfere with her plans to obtain the Emerald, a all powerful artifact that she's looking for. By abusing a psychic creature named Lylo, she finds out that the light is coming from D.G.'s house. She sends her troops (called Longcoats) through a travel storm; a tornado, to kill the light. The Longcoats arrive and a attack D.G.'s family. They escape onto the roof of the farmhouse and D.G.'s parents try to explain that it's time for her to go back. She doesn't understand, but there's no time to explain. They push her off the roof and into the travel storm.
When she wakes up, D.G. notices she's in a weird place. There are two suns in the sky and she can't find her parents. She's soon captured by a group of tiny people who put her in a cage. They think she is Azkadellia's (the evil sorceress) spy. This is the first time D.G. hears the name Azkadellia and she tells them she has no idea what they are talking about. They plan to torture her to get her to talk. After they leave, she notices another prisoner in the cage. After she helps him down from being tied to the roof of the cage, she learns his name is Glitch. He has a huge zipper down the middle of his head because Azkadellia removed half of his brain because of something he used to know.
Longcoats attack the village and the two use that time to escape. On their way to find the "old road" they come across a family being attacked by Longcoats. D.G. jumps in to help after they hit the little boy in the family, but the scene vanishes. Glitch explains that it was a scene played out in a loop by a machine that he thinks he invented, but he can't remember. They then discover a man in a tin suit. D.G. unlocks it and lets him out. He's the man that was in the hologram scene. He was forced to be in the tin suit for years and watch his family being tortured over and over again. His name is Wyatt Cain. He thanks the two for saving him, but doesn't want them traveling with him because they will slow him down. He's out for revenge for his family being killed.
D.G. gets mad and says they'll find their own way then. But Cain realises the way to the old road is through a dangerous place called the field of the pompae. The pompae are creatures that attack and kill others for food. During their trip through the field, they discover someone trapped in a cucoon like sack. D.G. insists on saving him, even though Cain advises against it. They save the man named Raw and the pompae chase they down because they stole thier dinner. Later, the find out Raw is Viewer who can see the future just like Lylo. They all decide to stay together and move on to travel the old road to Central City. Along the way, D.G. sees a sign that she remembers drawing back home, she also remembers something her father told her. She recognises where they are and she runs through the trees and arrive in Milltown.
D.G. is shocked that it's the place her father always talked about and realizes her parents are really from the O.Z. As they enter the town, they are surrounded by a group of robots and cyborgs. But D.G.'s parents come running out to stop them and D.G. is excited to see them, happy they haven't been killed and aren't hurt. But her happiness turns into confusion as her parents finally get a chance to explain to her what they couldn't before; They aren't her real parents and are robots who were put in charge of taking care of D.G. when her real mother sent her to the Other Side to be safe. They were also in charge of telling her about the O.Z. so she would be prepared when it was time for her to return. She learns that she must go to Central City to meet the Mystic Man. The Mystic Man has a message for her from her real mother.
Longcoats attack Milltown too, and the group has to quickly leave. They sneak into Central City (which is guarded by Longcoats) and go to meet the Mystic Man. But they find he's addicted to vapors, which is a euphoric drug created by Azkadellia. They try to talk to him backstage from his show and try to get information from him. It takes a while, but they learn that D.G. must go to the Northern Island. There, they find a castle frozen in the ice thanks to another story D.G.'s robot father told her while growing up. When the four enter the castle, she learn that D.G.'s real mother was the Queen of the O.Z. so that makes D.G. a princess. They also find out that Glitch was telling the truth when he said he was a former advisor to the Queen. Raw uses his power to look into D.G.'s past.
They find out that D.G. and Azkadellia are sisters. And when they were kids, Azkadellia kills D.G. and the Queen sends all of her powers into D.G. to bring her back to life. She also tells D.G. where to find the Emerald so she can stop Azkadellia from taking over. Right after the vision, Azkadellia shows up and demands to know what their mother told D.G. and D.G. tells her she can't remember. She also finds out that their mother is still alive and Azkadellia is keeping her imprisoned somewhere. The four friends create a distraction and try to escape. But Azkadellia sends her winged creatures, called Mobats, to attack them. She kidnaps D.G. and Raw and Glitch is knocked unconscious. Cain battles Zero, the longcoat that killed his family, but Zero cheats and has backup help him. He shoots Cain and he falls out of the castle window and into the frozen lake.
