And so ends year 4!
A bit of a rocky finish, and I will post something to do with the comics I read during my break from blogging, but I'm back and feeling positive, so let's just continue, shall we?
A beautiful series. Really, really beautiful. Ms. Awano injects life into every little bit of Wonderland and Lookingglassland, and the team of Moore and Reppion provide a novel retelling of the old story. I think I'd like to have seen a bit more playing with form - some of the most memorable bits of Alice are when the text gets caught up in the chaos of the story. Think of how the mouse's tale is told as a tail in the original. The technical layout of the story was really very straightforward, where I'd think that Alice's fantasy lands would provide an excellent playground for some experimental layouts.
That said, chaos in the gutters (so to speak) might have been too much, tipping the story from that delicate balance of comprehensible and random straight into the chaos it celebrates.
And that's it for 10% of the collection. Tomorrow, to start year 5, I'll be getting back to the original run of Doom Patrol.
More to come...
