The "real" story behind "Alice in Wonderland," Princess Alyss is spirited out of Wonderland by her bodyguard Hatter Madigan, only to be separated in the real world. To find Alyss, H. has only the glow of white, Wonderland imagination to guide him. Aaand he's a badass with blades, and his awesome hat is a weapon too.

The art is dark and surreal, as anything inspired by Lewis Carroll should be (what little I've seen of the Sandman comics, reminds of this style).

This series has such promise!

Follow the glow...

I generally don't read graphic novels because they are not my favorite format, but I read this because it's taken forever for the 3rd one to be published. It was interesting to read what Hatter was going through, but I am anxious to get back to Alyss.

Great art, good story...read it but make sure to read The Looking Glass Wars first (The first novel in the series).

Alice in Wonderland + Ben Templesmith.. how could you go wrong?

Maybe if I read The Looking Glass Wars, or even knew what that was, I'd enjoy this comic more.

The writing style here is much too expository for me (I don’t need the reporter’s motivations explained again or have her explain the scene that just occurred each time). I also can’t tell what in the world is supposed to be happening with the hatter’s knives - I think I’m just not into Templesmith’s art style. (And again, it over explains - instead of drawing a character grabbing a hat in a way you can tell what is happening, he writes “grabs” in the middle of the frame).

I love this YA series by Beddor and the graphic novel of the Mad Hatter's journey is FANTASTIC. Great visuals to go with compelling storytelling.

I enjoyed the graphic novel. I LOVE the artist's concept and work. While it may not be the best thing ever, I still enjoyed it.
