Escape from Wonderland Vol. 5
Tags
Summary
Escape from Wonderland is the final chapter of the Wonderland trilogy from Zenescope Entertainment, written by Raven Gregory with Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco. The story follows Return to Wonderland and Beyond Wonderland: Calie Liddle, Alice's daughter, has her infant daughter Violet dragged into the Madness, and Calie is forced back into Wonderland to face the twisted land she has tried to escape for years and to stop "pure madness" from seeping from Wonderland into the real world. This is volume 5 of the series, corresponding to issue 5 of the original miniseries. In this issue, Calie discovers that the choice she made years ago has brought her whole family back together; the world she left for two years seems to have reset, the nightmare appears to be over, and life returns to normal. Yet the Jabberwocky is still in control, Charles Dodgson (the figure of Lewis Carroll, the grown "Alice" of the stories) and Johnny each have their own schemes, and the boundary between Wonderland and the human world is being torn open. The story thus moves toward the close of the whole series, planting in the final issue the question of what is real. This is a dark-fairy-tale work for adult readers, containing violence and horror, and is not a children's version of Alice.
Editor's review
如果你对“爱丽丝”的印象还停留在兔子洞、茶会和红心皇后，这套书会把它彻底撕开。Zenescope 的《仙境》三部曲是欧美黑暗童话漫画里相当有辨识度的一支：它不满足于把经典角色画得阴森，而是把“疯狂”写成一种会传染、会侵蚀现实的东西，再用一个母亲找回孩子的动机把整条主线串起来。第 5 册处在全系列的关键转折点——表面上世界恢复了，噩梦像没发生过，但读者和卡莉都清楚这只是暴风雨前的假象；本册把家族、牺牲与无法回头的选择推到台前，也为第 6 册的大结局蓄势。Raven Gregory 的写法擅长用家庭创伤做底色，配合 Zenescope 一贯高饱和、强对比的画面，读起来压力很大却很抓人。需要提醒的是，本书含有较强烈的暴力、血腥与成人向内容，不适合当作青少年入门漫画；但如果你喜欢《格林童话》改编系、《睡魔》一类的暗黑奇幻，这一册值得补齐。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢黑暗童话、成人向奇幻漫画的读者
- 看过《重返仙境》《穿越仙境》，想补齐三部曲终章的人
- 对欧美独立漫画（Zenescope 系）有兴趣的收藏者
- 能接受暴力血腥画面与压抑基调和承担这类内容的成年读者
Not a good fit for
- 儿童与青少年读者，本作含明显成人向暴力内容
- 期待轻松搞笑或传统童话改编的读者
- 只想看单本完结故事、不愿追系列前情的读者
Reading tips
- 先读《重返仙境》《穿越仙境》，否则难以理解卡莉、紫罗兰与查尔斯的关系
- 留意“镜子”“门”等意象，它们在系列中反复承担现实与疯狂之境的通道功能
- 读后可以对照《爱丽丝漫游仙境》原著角色，看看作者如何把童趣角色反转为恐怖符号
