Disney's Alice in Wonderland Graphic Novel by Alessandro Ferrari

3.0 out of 5.0 stars
The very worst thing about this book is that it tries to follow the movie exactly. It’s just not possible and if I hadn’t seen the movie I would have been completely lost.
The very best thing about this book is that about a third of the book is information about the story and the book. Kind of a “making of” if you will. :-)

The very worst thing about this book is that, while it continues a decent story, it doesn’t quite match the awesomeness that is the original trilogy.
The very best thing about this book is that is does continue a really entertaining story with some new twists and interesting groups of people.

The very worst thing about this book is that the storytelling is getting worse with each book.
The very best thing about this book is that, assuming you liked the previous books, it’s still readable enough to enjoy the new characters, even if they are a little unusual.

The very worst thing about this book is some of the situations that the characters are placed in. I’m reading sci-fi/fantasy so I’m not necessarily looking for total realism, but too much just falls into place for it to be believable. It was more like they were trying to quickly tie up all the loose ends that they’ve left hanging about.
The very best thing about this book is the fact that the story has ended and hopefully the authors won’t try to extend it to another trilogy. :-/

The very worst thing about this book is that it just doesn’t live up to expectations. Rogers seems to have been going more for shock value that story-telling at some points.
The very best thing about this book is that it certainly is entertaining.

The very worst thing about this book is that the animation is different throughout the book. Each story is done by different people and, while it’s all drawn quite well, the differences do stand out.
The very best thing about this book is FRAGGLES! I grew up watching the Fraggles on TV! I love the Fraggles and finding them in graphic novel form was a dream come true! Almost as incredible as finding “The Last Unicorn” graphic novel. :-D

The very worst thing about this book is Chlorr? She’s a bad person… Yeah, that works; since I can’t think of anything else to put in the “worst” section, we’ll just drop in one of the villains.
The very best thing about this book is – of course – Mogget! If only I wasn’t committed to keeping as many spoilers out of my reviews as possible I can tell you why this particular cat-shaped creature is so incredibly amazing! ^_^ And people wonder why I love cats. In real life and fiction, they make the best characters!

First of all, I love the opening page. Randy opens up with a horribly awesome joke, a red guy, a blue glowing man, and a green goblin thing. That one strip alone was worth the purchase price to me! This particular page is available on the Super Stupor! website, by the way. Also, Arch-Angela is amazing! She cracks me up more than any other character. Except, maybe, Punchline.

The very worst thing about this book is that Lessa “blurring” herself is never really explained. Through context you realize she’s got some telepathic powers, but it’s never really addressed.
The very best thing about this book is DRAGONS! Oh sweet heaven there are dragons! And an entirely new planet! I love visiting Pern. ^_^
