Book Review: Grimm Fairy Tale Presents: Wonderland: Ayslum vol #1


Book: Grimm Fairy Tale Presents: Wonderland: Asylum volume #1 (issues #1-5) by Pat Shand with illustrations by Tony Brescini and Elmer Cantada

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

Exiled in the realm of Wonderland, the legacy of the Mad Hatter claimed Johnny Liddle's soul creating one of the greatest villains the world has ever known.

But the true horror of what Wonderland is has never been revealed...until now! They thought the realm of madness was trapped in Wonderland.

They were wrong!

From the creators of the original Wonderland trilogy and Pat Shand (Robin Hood, Unleashed) comes the madness as you have never seen before!


Rating: 1 star

Review:

I've read some of the other Wonderland related comics from Zenescope and they were good but this one wasn't. It felt like the story was trying too hard with the madness and the story got left behind somewhere. This was far from being an interesting story.

In this volume, Violet Liddle found herself transported to Wonderland a place that is full of intense madness. Violet's family has a connection to Wonderland and that connection brings nothing but trouble for them. In Wonderland, when Violet was not trying to fight off the Cheshire Cat and the crazy Mad Hatter she had to avoid the mysterious void who had transformed himself into a human form to try to convince Violet to become the new Mad Hatter.

This story was not good, it was too crazy and had no focus. Sorry, this just wasn't a good read.
