I can acknowledge that this book is getting a lot of hate that it doesn’t deserve but I also know that I didn’t enjoy it. The characters were not great, the story was kind of all over the place, and the art was lack luster for so much of this. I truly don’t know what to make of this book but it wasn’t nearly as fun as the premise would lead you to believe. There were some funny moments and I don’t out right hate any of the cast but man was this a disappointment.
This feels even worse largely because I just finished reading the phenomenal Project Hail Mary and have following Sarah Anderson for years at this point yet this was such a massive let down from both of them. This felt like an amateurs first attempt at making a comic and no where close the quality we have come to expect from these two. It wasn’t unreadable but no where near what these people should have been able to accomplish.

I loved this! Perfect book palette cleanser. The art is incredible. The story is funny and a joy to read. I can’t remember the last time I felt so happy after finishing a book.

Epic mashup of beloved characters and a clever and exciting tale with fantastic art. I love the concept, and the execution is flawless. I hope there is more to come!

An imaginative and fun take on classic tales! Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy are fireballs and the mixing of these "worlds" is so fun. I am anxiously awaiting volume 2!

The art is stunning, but man, there this story that doesn't feel fleshed out. It really feels like an Alice fanfiction with Wendy and Dorothy thrown in to the mix.

I was really excited for this crossover because I adore Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Any retelling of these that I can get my hands on, I read. I also didn't intially realize that the artist is the author of the Sarah' Scribbles comics of which I am a fan. This really amped my excitement when I saw that. While the art was absolutely gorgeous, the actual story content was all over the place and frustrating to read. It's not very cohesive with timeline and world jumping and vaguely skims its way from scene to scene. This would have served better being fully fleshed out and developed into a longer form. It almost felt like reading the author's outline for the story that was never finished.

The premise is very interesting. The mechanics of the world, somewhat clever. And the art is cute. But who is this written for?
The characters are *edgy* and one dimensional. There are big pacing issues and too many cringy parts of this book for me. You know the Peter Pan bit once he’s in Wonderland… I hated that.
I loved the knave of hearts vs. Captain Hook though. Plus, Sarah is a great artist. Perhaps this wasn’t the right style for the book, but it was well drawn nonetheless.
