“Like the artwork a little less, the continuation of the story was okay. ”

“Never would have pictured an assassin Mad Hatter in civil war America circa 1864 but hey if it works go with it. This continues to be terribly imaginative - Redd is mega scary - but don't mess with Madigan's Hat! Looking forward to reading more and must get caught up with the YA trilogy!”

“I love Frank Beddor's imagination and how he takes a different look into the beloved classic Alice in Wonderland. I also love the graphic novel version of Hatter Maddigan's journey to find Alyss. As this part of the Looking Glass Wars didn't record his whole story, I'm glad that it is being told. I also like the fact that their is a society devoted to him and I like the idea that Maddigan played a part in earth's history.”

“Much better than the first graphic novel (and that is quite a rarity). This one has Sami Makkonen doing the art instead of Ben Templesmith, and I think that contributed quite a bit. The story is easier to follow and just in general better.”

I liked the artwork in this one even less than the first. The faces of the figures was cruder and less realized and I have always found the overuse of blacks, browns and grays to be annoying, making the artwork harder to connect with and the story harder to get involved in normally. And unlike the first volume I felt none of the art or images really worked for me at all. None of them stand out really, except for the depiction of some tarot cards, and that probably has more to do with my interest in the tarot vs the art.
At least this time the story was strong and for the most part interesting all the way through, the only bump in the road was a brief stop at a Souther Plantation that just felt like it came out of nowhere and went back to nowhere.
Artwork aside, I am really enjoying the story in this series and am looking forward to reading more.”
“I love the artwork in these books, the stories are captivating, but looking at those pictures is truly enjoyable. I love Hatter Madigan and learning more about him.”
