Parallels

I just realised the other day - there's something awfully familiar about a story I've been reading. See if you can guess which one it is.

An innocent orphaned maiden with a meaningful last name has her normal life stolen from her when she experiences a terrible, life-changing event of massive destructive power. She falls into a coma, and awakens

Actually, if the story has a Tin Man, it's Baron Wulfenbach. There's been heavy hinting that he died and was brought back as a construct, and his method of rule is heartlessly efficient. What if the Tin Man hadn't rusted, but instead decided he needed to kill all the witches and wizards in order to save Oz from itself?

Of course, if you really want an Oz-inspired webcomic centering on mad science, that's what Skin Horse is for.

Skin Horse is awesome, nearly as good as Narbonic.

Girl Genius is, of course, also awesome.

They both have their awesome moments. I want to see the return of Sweet Daddy Jupiter Velvet. :)

Preach it.

Stories have similarities. Hero's journey, yo.

Of course! A self-discovery journey like GG could probably be matched to all kinds of classic literature with enough mental contortions.
