The first issue of Return to Wonderland, a twisted take off/ sequel
to Alice in Wonderland appears to be setting the scene for the rest of
the series. We meet, Alice, who is now a mother with wild kids, and she’s
in a catatonic state. It seems that she spends the majority of the time
petting this evil bunny. Meanwhile the rest of the family is in a bit
of chaos around her. However, as the story progresses, the real protagonist
turns out to be her daughter Calie.
There’s one particular scene I like after Calie takes acid with
her boy friend and goes to be that night. I don’ want to give anything
away, so I’ll just call it the “nightmare scene” It’s
gruesome, and the artwork is fantastically sick.
The comic ends with Calie chasing her mother’s rabbit that got away
down the basement stairs ( does this sounds familiar in a modern way).
Setting the scene for Issue #2, Calie isn’t in the basement anymore
, but in a hellish wonderland where they already know her name.
The story is definitely real and creepy. The series shows a lot of potential.
I know I will be picking up the next issue. I would give Issue #1 a 3
½ out of 5.
