1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing!, Sep 20 2006
By G. M. Swift - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: New Alice In Wonderland Color Manga Volume 1 (Paperback)
As an avid fan of all things Wonderland and a voracious manga reader I anxiously awaited this volume; I even pre-ordered, something I rarely do. What a disappointment!

The story hit most points from the Alice story, yet with none of the charm, wit, adventure or madness of the original. The art also disappoints. Alice looks like a rip-off of Penny from the Inspector Gadget cartoons. The artist doesn't show the faces of the Duchess or the Red Queen in what seems to be either laziness or inability, and not some artistic affectation. For some inexplicable reason the Mad Hatter is a cartoon-version of Jay Leno complete with a huge chin and a goofy grin. Though it is a re-telling of an existing story, I expected originality and got none. This doesn't even rise to the level of mediocrity.

Despite my unreasonable need to acquire all things Alice, future volumes of Rod Espinosa's series will not be on my list. What a shame!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a big disappointment, Sep 15 2006
By C. Li "long time Amazon shopper" - Published on Amazon.com
Achat Amazon vérifié(Quest-ce que cest?)
Ce commentaire est de: New Alice In Wonderland Color Manga Volume 1 (Paperback)
I love the Alice in Wonderland story, and I also like manga, so when I saw this book I thought "What a perfect combination!". I ordered it right away. When I finally got it I read it from cover to cover in minutes. By the time I finished I was so disappointed by the book I decided to return it. Even if I wouldn't get my full refund (shipping charges not refundable if it was my mistake), it was worth it to get the little money I could for it. The art work was very unimpressive and the story, was the same story, but somehow seemed boring! There's even an intro where Rod Espinosa himself explains how he ripped off the idea of doing a manga on a classic from someone else...it's already really hard to make your own work sound interesting, I guess it's even harder when you're telling everyone that this wasn't even your idea to begin with. After I read the intro, I already felt cheated. Anyhow, like I said, big disappointement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful way to rekindle childhood memories, Mar 3 2008
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: New Alice In Wonderland Color Manga Volume 1 (Paperback)
Collecting the comic issues of "New Alice in Wonderland" #1-4, Rod Espinosa's New Alice in Wonderland is a full-color graphic novel adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy novel for all ages. Drawn in Espinosa's manga-inspired style (sometimes called "Amerimanga"), Alice's adventures are quite faithful to the source material and a true joy to experience. A delightful way to rekindle childhood memories or spark young people's interest in the classics, drawn with the natural warmth and stylistic flair to be expected from the comic author of "The Courageous Princess". Especially recommended for children's library collections.
