Meh... niet echt een samenhangend verhaal, jammer. Het idee was wel gaaf, maar niet mijn ding op deze manier. Gaat op de stapel voor de verkoop...
I read this one after reading both books, “Return/Beyond” and i still have yet to read “Escape from Wonderland” but I will soon. Any-who, here we have a few tales, all which provide more insight into Wonderland and also more backstory into most of the characters.I try to like these books, I do. I know the target audience is intended for younger readers but I’m a huge fan of anything Alice In Wonderland related and I love graphic novels, so these books are an obvious read for me. But these storie...
I really disliked the earlier volume, but this one is considerably better. The main reason is the Tales From Wonderland issues. The pace is much more reasonable. It sometimes is nearly slow, but it is a welcome change in this series. The art is a little more adventurous, which helps. I thought there was some foreshadowing and interest in the story. There was also effective subtlety. It wasn't just throwing out concepts. Beyond Wonderland is back to not being very good. While the story is no long...
I recently picked up Return to Wonderland and found it pleasantly disturbing. These books feature top notch horror and not for the faint of heart. But, if you love your stories dark and disturbing. This is the book for you. I would start with the Return to Wonderland Trade. Then move onto the Tales of Wonderland trades (volume 1 and volume 2)and then the Beyond Wonderland trade before tackling escape from wonderland. (Or you can just Wikipedia the story to catch up). Creepy stuff in this.
I liked the idea of a horror-themed Wonderland and the dark and disturbing plot-line, but other than that there wasn't much else. The stories seemed to jump around to different people, which was confusing at times. However, it definitely has enough insanity and creepy creatures for one book. Overall, I finished this book a bit confused and mentally-disturbed.
Honestly, I don't know how I feel about this one. It was a bunch of 'stories' about wonderland put together. It all went together, and for the most part it made sense.But some things were a bit confusing. Like the Mad Hatter, was he the uncle who was a (view spoiler)[Pedophile? (hide spoiler)] or was he the brother of the other girl who seemed to be pretty important. And why did they keep saying only one person has ever escaped Wonderland when Alice, and Alice's daughter both technically escaped...
Going back to the beginning, Tales from Wonderland: Volume 1 explores the origins of several of the Wonderland characters. The backstories of the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and Alice are revealed, along with how the portal to Wonderland was discovered. The writers have devised some rather interesting origins and connects for the characters, but the format limits the storytelling a bit. Also, some of the artwork isn’t quite up to the standard that has come to be expected from the series. Ye...
This was alright. I enjoyed the Wonderland that's created and I appreciated the different takes on the characters. It was definitely different than I expected. The horror element was nice and was also just disturbing enough to freak me out. My main issue with this volume is the way the women are drawn. Too voluptuous, and too thin. No one looked ordinary. I can't say that I'll pick up another volume though. We'll see.
I love the game Alice Madness Returns, so I was hoping this would have a similar vibe. It...did not. Although I also don't think it's fair for me to rate this since I don't think I'm the target audience haha
It was pretty good, but really just a rehash of other volumes. There was not much added to any of it. Perhaps this was before some of the bother books, and the short stories grew into their own volumes?Regardless, the only one showing anything even remotely new was the story of how Drake became the mad hatter before Johnny, and that was not even a big story...
dope, i'm excited to start the next ones
This volume is a compilation of short stories about important wonderland characters, it may not pack a lot of punch for the main story but certainly gives us the interesting back stories you crave after reading the first couple trades for the Wonderland series, If you're trying to figure hit when and where to place these stories, I would say this is the third trade you should read. That gives you enough of the main story to care about the characters you're learning about. Most of the stories tak...
It just feels unfair to be like “Here are all the reasons why I thought this was a horrible story.” I thought the concept was interesting but unfortunately the story was confusing. I wish it focused on one person. It doesn’t have to be Alice, but it’s so hard to keep up with so many storylines. This is a Grimm story so there is a lot of blood and mentions of self harm. If that is something that triggers anyone, here is your warning.
Really liked this one. I love Alice in Wonderland re-tellings. This graphic novel shows Lewis Carroll as a scientist who found a portal to Wonderland. Unfortunately his son and a friends daughters also found the portal to the hellish dimension. They have been lost to the Looking Glass and will never be released. Carroll was murdered for what happened to the children... since then a member of the family must sacrifice a child to continue to be protected from the evils of that world.Definitely wan...
This was an okay graphic novel. The artwork is beautiful, but the backstories were all over the place. I didn't care for any except the queen of hearts which was interesting. I probably won't read any of the other volumes though.
I had previously read Return to Wonderland, the first collection, and found it deeply disconcerting and disturbing. This time, because forewarned, I found myself more distanced and interested in the author's twists and turns; this is an effective dark Wonderland, though there's nothing especially surprising after all the reveals in Return. The "pinups" of sexy Alices (and Calies and Red Queens and etc.) make it clear I'm not the target audience; maybe that's the most distancing thing of all. (Lo...
I'm a huge fan of fairytales and an addict to re-tellings so when I found the Grimm Fairy Tales series I instantly fell in love with the gritty, modernized versions of my old favourites. Alice is, by far, my greatest addiciton of the bunch. A must read for any Wonderlander.
Talk about a mad and weird tale of horror.Many fo the holes that I had about Wonderland have been filled, and there were still many open for the next issues of this story. I'm still trying to figure out what will happen next, and I think I'm going to like it very very much when I discover it.
I try not to leave books unread. Even bad books, I try my best to finish, just to give them a shot. I couldn't do it with this one. I got up to page 75. I like the angle- a dark, dark Wonderland; I even liked the graphics- they're alright. What I didn't care for was the lack of chronology and stilted storylines; I guess someone who liked this could say that was meant to reinforce the schizophrenic nature of this Wonderland. I just found it confusing and jumpy and I never really got an idea for w...
This begins a new series about the evil Wonderland and what happens there.The first story explains how two young girls ended up in Wonderland, and how they became two of the Queens of the mad realm.The second story reveals the origin of the Mad Hatter.The next story explains some about the sacrifice element that involves Wonderland, while the next story reveals how the portal between Wonderland and the Earth came to be. After that there's a cover gallery section, and then a bonus issue of Beyon
