Grimm Fairy Tales: Return To Wonderland Review


Book: Grimm Fairy Tales: Return To Wonderland Mini-series
Publisher: Zenescope
Price: #0 – Free, #1 -#4 $0.99
Author: Raven Gregory
Art: Rich Bonk & Al Rio
Colored By: Thomas Mason & Nei Ruffino
Obtained: ComiXology on iPhone
Verdict: This is a great dark spin on the classic tale.

Background:
I was browsing through the free comics on the ComiXology store and found Alice waiting to be read.  I am really stoked for the new Alice in Wonderland movie so, like a horrific scream outside my window, this peaked my interest.  I downloaded the free comic, loved it, and proceeded to spend all the rest of my lunch money while lying in bed downloading the rest of the comics available.

I am panting with my frustrated urges to read the last few books; it’s that much of a page-turner. Or page tapper, in this case.  I enjoyed this new take on the story  so much that I came into work and told another comic fan about it.  He promptly downloaded it as well. Choirs of angels began to sing.

This one’s dark. Dark like twisted black metal in a deep, dank cave You know what we mean – no kids allowed!  The themes and artwork are most certainly geared towards the adult crowd.  If you are looking forward to the new movie, or played the American McGee’s Alice PC game, you will love this comic.

The Story:
The free comic starts out on a mission to sink its dark fantasy teeth deep into your head and probe you with it’s tongue through the new cranial orifice it will create.  Alice has come back from Wonderland and led the life of a normal woman.  Alice went and got married, had some kids, and  ….wait, no spoilers here!

The mini-series throws a few dark and sex type things at readers before diving head trip first down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.  The story follows Alice’s daughter, Calie, through some interesting scenarios in this magical world. Interesting in a “I just took some acid and the colors on your shirt are starting to bleed” sort of a way.

New monsters and a new spin on well-known characters all make for an engaging and thoroughly tasty story.  There’s no sweet an innocent here. Then again, the source material wasn’t actually sweet and innocent either, was it now?

The Artwork:
The art in this mini-series is fantastic. Rich Bonk and Al Rio invest every panel with rich, dark colors and strong line work. Each page of full, rich illustration portrays more than just the story, it immerses the reader into an experience of what Wonderland would be like had it been in some sort of Stephen King movie.  The story is enjoyable, but the art and coloring takes it up a whole new, dirty notch.  This is a great example of how good a comic on the iPhone can look. Seriously, where’s my freaking iPad? This comic brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “eye-candy.” You perv.
