Review: The Complete Alice in Wonderland #2

Want more Alice? Then try Dynamite’s The Complete Alice in Wonderland #2 on for size and bide the time until the upcoming Disney/Tim Burton movie. I bet your nonsensical wordplay has gotten rusty over the years, anyway.

Lewis Carroll fanatics Leah Moore and John Reppion expand their all-ages adaptation in The Complete Alice in Wonderland #2. The manga-styled Alice sits with a quirky Mad Hatter and the March Hare, attempts croquet according to the hasty Queen’s rules, visits the Mock Turtle and watches his lobster dance, and finally attends a rather unconventional trial.

Anybody up for batting around some hedgehogs with flamingo croquets?

Review: The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1

Start off the new year right with The Complete Alice in Wonderland #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. The writing will seem pretty familiar, but there’s something else about the comic that really impresses. Check out the full review over at OneMetal to see what I mean.

2010 onward!

Lewis Carroll’s defining creation, Alice in Wonderland, has been recreated as often as its trademark little girl in blue and white grew big or small. With a recent Sy Fy series and Tim Burton’s bizarre upcoming film, there’s not many places the nonsensical personages and critters of Wonderland haven’t spread their mischievous wordplay.

Wonderland aficionados Leah Moore and John Reppion aren’t aiming to reinvent the original. Instead their series, The Complete Alice in Wonderland, means to honor the classic we all know and love through the popular duality of the comics medium. For that reason, Moore and Reppion’s adaptation doesn’t present anything revolutionary: Besides a few extras (such as script work and Carroll’s introductory poem) to give the issue padding, there’s no new treasures to find … verbally, that is.
