Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole
Alice Liddle has escaped a dimension of horror and madness called Wonderland - but not without dire consequences. Struggling with a now shattered psyche, Alice must prevent the evil beings that inhabit that realm from slipping into this world and infecting everyone she holds dear. But that is easier said than done as a mysterious entity is revealed to have been manipulating events from the very beginning. Forget everything you thought you knew and see how deep the rabbit hole goes in this psychological horror series co/written by both bestselling writer Raven Gregory (Wonderland Trilogy, Fly) and up-and-coming wordsmith Pat Shand (Unleashed, Robyn Hood).

This is the kindle collection for issues 1-5 of Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole. This story takes takes before and during the events of Return to Wonderland.
Alice is one of the few people to ever escape Wonderland. Wonderland's ruler, the Jabberwocky, has been using Alice's family to gain power for generation in his attempt to shatter that barrier between Wonderland and Earth. Alice is desperate to find a way to break his hols on her family.
The entire Wonderland storyline is convoluted partially due to the fact that time doesn't supposedly flow at the same rate as it does on Earth. In reality, part of the problem is that the stories weren't written in the same order as they occur. For example this is a sequel to a prequel and covers a lot of things that happened at the beginning of the story but was written after most of the story was already written. This leads to a lot of references to stories that technically occur later but were written before.
For fans of Lewis Carroll's Alice, this isn't that story. Carroll's whimsical land has been twisted into a brutal, horrific land of insanity. Instead of a little girl exploring and saying strange poems, you get a young woman running from one homicidal encounter to another. Even though Alice manages to escape Wonderland, the Jabberwocky has planted a seed which will slowly drive her insane and suicidal.
I call this type of artwork, comic book realistic. By that, I mean it looks real as seen through a comic book filter. There is plenty of detail and consistency. There is a high level of cheesecake factor with the women tending to be very curvaceous and dressed in either skimpy or tight (or both) attire. There is also a good bit of gore.
Due to the themes and high gore level, I would recommend this for more mature readers.

The Zenescope Wonderland universe is horribly convoluted, partly because Wonderland time works differently (and madly) to ours. But mostly because the stories are written out of sequence and often they will go back to an earlier point in order to re-engineer things in order to introduce a new plot twist later in the saga. So this one goes back to the original trilogy and basically tells the events around Return To Wonderland from Alice's point of view. Alice In Wonderland (Zenescope GN) told what happened to the Wonderland Alice. This GN tells what happens to the part of her that returned to our world. Down the Rabbit Hole issue 1 leads up to the events in Return To Wonderland issue 0. Most of the rest fits in before Return to Wonderland issue 1. Then Down the Rabbit Hole issue 5 wraps around Return to Wonderland issue 6, and explains Alice's eventual fate, and her occasional role in the Wonderland ongoing series. Confused? There is also a sequel to this GN called Through The Looking Glass.

These Wonderland comics are getting so repetitive. They show the same story over and over again. This was nothing new and it was just telling the back story, again, of how Alice went crazy and saw monsters. Waste of time to read this if you've read the other Wonderland comics.

It was alright, kinda repetitive of other volumes though, just the same story from a different point of view.
Again, very fan service heavy as most of the series is.
I am glad I am getting them from the library, I would personally only read the series once. It's not that it's bad, it's just... not great.
If you like Alice, give it a try!

The Wonderland series is always at it's best when it is dealing with Alice or Callie and this is no exception.
Dealing with Alice's madness and insanity and her family's dealing with it in a new house, this fits neatly within the backstory element of Wonderland and can be read pretty much anywhere during the series (I think I've read it slightly out of sequence).
Alice is hearing voices, and seeing rabbits (or more specifically one rabbit) when Dr Ling presribes here tablets to help her? Will they work or will the series of 5 comics end as we all expect?
Superb again.

Issue 1: Alice is moving into a new house. Once inside she starts experiencing images of the Mad Hatter and others. She is seeing a psychiatrist who is actually working against her. A bath turns into a nightmare.
Issue 2: The story opens showing another monster. Then Alice ends up in a hospital, a cat dies and Alice sees something no one else seems to see. There's also a ghostly version of a young Alice.
Issue 3: Alice returns to her home but she sees the real Wonderland dangers under it and the others don't. While taking a bath Alice is pulled into Wonderland. All these versions of Alice in Wonderland just seem to repeat each other. Maybe Alice should just load up on high-duty weaponry so the next time she is jerked to Wonderland she can just start shooting all the villains. It'd make more sense.
Issue 4: There's Alice, the ghostly Alice, a monster and yet more around a table. There's only so much she can take before it's payback time. Johnny shows more of his evil insanity. Then there's an unhappy scene between Alice and Callie.
Issue 5: The conclusion of the series. Alice believes she has found a way to protect her family from the horrors of Wonderland. There are more changes ahead for her, though.

Una visión adulta y psicológicamente perturbadora de Alicia que juega de forma inteligente, y en todo momento, con la ambigüedad de la existencia o no del País de las Maravillas que ella visitó en su infancia y que aún la atormenta desde dentro.
