Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales



A new comic book company has stolen my heart. Though I do still love DC and will still be blogging and reading GCS, Power Girl and Titans I have given a lot of my time over to Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales, especially their stories revolving around Alice in Wonderland.

A few weeks ago I picked up Return to Wonderland the complete collection and fell in love with the world and it’s new characters. I am hoping to pick up Beyond Wonderland next and wait for Escape from Wonderland to finish up so I can grab the complete collection of it as well.

In Return to Wonderland Alice has a portion of herself stuck in Wonderland. This self is named Lacie and can never leave Wonderland. Alice’s daughter Calie (Notice all the anagrams of Alice in the names) is mentally damaged when her mother tries to kill herself and so is her younger brother. Calie falls through the looking glass to Wonderland and has her adventure. At the end of the comic Calie is faced with the true legend of Wonderland and has to face a tough decision that will come back to haunt her in the next installment.

Oh, I’m even getting myself psyched up to read more. Anyways, this comic inspired the Queen of Hearts Suit for my final project at school and I’m sure that the pictures of the cards will be posted on Facebook as well as this site.

Be careful and don’t fall through any looking glass!
