review:
'Alice in Wonderland: Special Collector's Manga' by Jun Abe is a manga adaptation of the Tim Burton film from a few years back. My review copy stopped about halfway through the story, but it looks like the full copy is what is available.

Alice Kingsleigh had nightmares as a young child. Her father was able to help her get over them. Years later, he is gone and she is about to be put into an arranged marriage. A white hare in a suit causes her to chase after it, and she finds herself on a different adventure than the one the day started with. She sees how she is chosen to fight a terrible beast, but first she has to relearn who she is. Assisting her is the March Hare and the Mad Hatter and various other citizens of the kingdom. Opposing her is the Red Queen and her Knave of Swords. The creatures of this land are oppressed and looking for a way to change things. Can Alice be the one they've been waiting for?

I liked the movie, but I didn't love it. I think I might actually prefer this manga version. I like the art and it reminded me of things that I liked in the movie.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Tokyopop, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
