What I loved
Please check trigger warnings before going into this, because it's such a dark, deranged take of Wonderland. In the first volume, we see the origin stories for the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and Alice, and they are all so very twisted. I really can't pick which I preferred because I just really dug each of them for different reasons.
I didn't love how femme bodies were portrayed here. That was a bit skeezy but if you can look past that and like really dark comics (like I Hate Fairyland and Monstress), definitely check this out!
