Ilustration In Favor Of Books Hatter M, Volume 1: The Looking Glass Wars (Hatter M #1)
Put to rest any delusions or disinformation you have of the tea guzzling madman of faux literary history and prepare to expand your consciousness as the saga of Hatter Madigan and his relentless search for the lost Princess of Wonderland unfolds on these pages.In Frank Beddor's The Looking Glass Wars, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan was ordered by Queen Genevieve to take Princess Alyss and leave Wonderland after a bloody palace coup staged by the murderous Redd. But while escaping through the Pool of Tears (the portal connecting Wonderland to our world), crushing centrifugal force pulled them apart, and Alyss was lost. In this geographic parallel adventure, Hatter finds himself in Paris, France in the year 1859 shockingly separated from the child he had been sworn to protect.
Unbeknownst to Hatter, Alyss had exited a puddle in London, England. Lost and alone, she was befriended by an aspiring author to whom she told the surreal, violent, heartbreaking story of her young life only to see it published as the nonsensical children's fairytale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. But Carrol had got it all wrong.He even misspelled her name! Alyss had trusted Lewis Carrol to tell the truth so that Hatter would find her and bring her home. Instead, Hatter must endure a non-stop quest, crisscrossing the globe for 13 years in search of the lost Princess. While formidable with blades, a moment must be taken to introduce his signature weapon, the Hat. Woven and blocked from a material not available in any realm except the origins of wonder, the Hat, when hurled by his expert hand, instantly unfolds into a circle of blades to attack or defend.
The mad odyssey begins here...

Disappointing. There is little to no dialog that is awkward to read. Plus the character came off completely different from the book series. Great artwork but felt too disconnected from the original story.Well, the premise is interesting enough, but the execution...It's a fairly jumbled mess; perhaps if I'd read Beddor's Wonderland series of books, I'd know what was going on--or at least get more out of it. I did love having the Mad Hatter as a knight with a deadly hat (like a cooler version of Oddjob), but the story jumped so quickly and was rather disjointed, so I felt like it was a bit of a waste. Templesmith's art also felt a bit wasted, since it was so overdone with the Photoshopping; it was
This is a very well illustrated graphic novel. However - I feel it is more of a companion piece than a stand alone. Although I knew the gist of the story - some of the elements and characters were unclear in this graphic novel. I think this piece would be better if you read it after you read the regular novel.
2010.1022-2010.1024I came into this books with high hopes and was sadly disappointed. Templesmith's art is reminiscent of McKean in Arkham Asylum but fails in its execution. I think Hatter was striving for a dream like state, like Asylum, but the art feels unfinished and choppy, too hard to follow what is going on and it kills the narrative structure. Beddor relied too much on The Looking Glass Wars Novel for plot (the same pit fall Furth encountered in the Dark Tower Wizard in Glass Graphic
creepy & cool. i loved the style of the thing.
So I've never really been one to read graphic novels. Mostly because I'm more fond of words on a page and the poetry that comes from them than pictures with a few words here and there. At least, that's always been my opinion of graphic novels. But this one-- wow! It definitely changed my opinion altogether.I think the main reason I enjoyed this so much is because I felt the book did a bit of skipping over the 13 years in our world. I really felt that I missed something there. And to go into it
I was really disappointed with this graphic novel. I read the first Looking Glass Wars and I really liked it but this fell flat. The art wasn't that amazing and the overall book was pretty boring. I don't think I'll be reading the rest of this series. I'd rather read the actual books.
