review:
Wonderland Volume 3 is good and advances the story, but it feels like a lot of set up for what's to come after this graphic novel is over. It's still likeable enough. It just feels less than complete. It's an ongoing series, so I guess that's the way things are sometimes.
The suit Queens back in Wonderland are trying to keep things stable and the Queen of Spades secretly starts gathering people from our world to fill in her army. She gathers a creepy serial killer among others (here's a tip: don't accept a water bottle from a stranger, even if it seems sealed). And that crazy Jabberwocky is still out there.
Meanwhile, in our world, Calie and Violet Lidle, descendants of Alice Lidle are looking for answers while they are on the run. The trip takes them to Calie's father and all kinds of weirdness ensues.
The story is good and fills in a lot of backstory as details are revealed. There is definitely a heightening in tension in Wonderland, and then it ends. The story by Raven Gregory and Pat Shand is good. The art is good and other than the covers, not too ridiculously overly anatomized. This remains my favorite in the Grimm Fairy Tales line and the only one I regularly seek out.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
