Grimm Fairy Tales: Tales from Wonderland vol 2 Reviews

  • Michael Padilla

    This collection of stories is slightly more interesting than the first volume. I ended up enjoying more of them on a whole, especially the Cheshire Cat tale and the Mad Hatter one as well.

    My personal tidbit is that these stories still all connect to the main story and its characters. And while it’s beneficial in some ways it also makes this overall simple tale unnecessarily convoluted.

    Separate, one shot tales of Wonderland would’ve been a better way to go but oh well. It’s a better read than the first volume but still mediocre at best.

  • Jenny Clark

    Better than the first one, as we do learn some more about some characters, such as the first mad hatter, before Drake even was Jack the Ripper and he fell in love with Lizzie Bordon.
    The Red Queen gets some more background too, as does Cheshire.
    Overall, a decent addition but somewhat gratuitously violent as normal.

  • Angie Ng

    After a few volumes, you’ll get the drill. The format and the hard selling images of sexy women is getting tired. The story is not going anywhere (yet).

  • Jon FK

    Making the Alice in Wonderland tale into a contemporary nightmare with a psychotic twist wherein Alice is an adult, sexily drawn, and the Chesire Cat is so jacked he'd make Brock Lesnar look like a kitten seemed like it'd be sick. But the writing is incredibly poor and absurdly repetitive. And the illustrations are super inconsistent as well. I thought this would be a cool Adult Spin but instead, with all its horrible One-Liners and Extra Gratuitous Gore, it's an EdgeLord's wet dream.

    I love the premise but the execution was bad at best. Whoever does Quality Control at Grimm Fairy Tales isn't getting it right. Maybe it's the Mad Hatter.

  • Joe Sergi

    I recently picked up Return to Wonderland and found it pleasantly disturbing. These books feature top notch horror and not for the faint of heart. But, if you love your stories dark and disturbing. This is the book for you. I would start with the Return to Wonderland Trade. Then move onto the Tales of Wonderland trades (volume 1 and volume 2)and then the Beyond Wonderland trade before tackling escape from wonderland. (Or you can just Wikipedia the story to catch up).

  • Bridgett

    Very brutal version of some events occurring in and out of Wonderland, based off of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

  • Luce

    absolutely loved this second volume. this series will appeal to any lovers of the fables series. the artwork is also stunning.

  • Stacey

    sexist drivel.

  • Audrey-anne

    This is so freaking confusing. Is it suppose to make sense with Tales vol 1?

  • Michelle

    Ah yes... a children's classic that re-imagines character origin stories with lots of sex and violence! Perfect.

  • Jessica Royan

    not as good as the rest but definitely fills the the full world more.
