"Wonderland returns with full force as Calie Liddle and her daughter, Violet, continue to hide from the very madness that still might be searching for them. But how long can they hide before having to face what they fear most? While Calie fights to protect her only daughter from danger, the Queen of Spades bides her time in Wonderland as she builds an army to finally take control of the realm and destroy the Queen of Hearts. Meanwhile, a new Mad Hatter has been born and he’s not what anyone sees coming! From the writers and creators who brought you Zenescope's original Wonderland trilogy comes a whole new world of madness like you've never seen before. Don’t miss this epic trade paperback which collects Wonderland issues 1 through 5!"

I really enjoyed this book but it was obvious from the get-go that it was a sequel to another series as there were many references to what had happened previously.  This book is about, I think!, Alice's daughter and her own daughter as they have escaped Wonderland but find themselves being pursued by a child who has gotten hold of the Mad Hatter's hat.  I did enjoy this but this is not the place to start.  There are other series entitled "Tales from W", "Escape from W.", "Alice in W", "Return to W" and "Beyond W".  I've got to find out the proper reading order of these and follow the story properly.  But I will say I've become a great fan of the "Grimm Fairy Tales" books from Zenescope and the art is phenomenal, if you don't mind full-bosomed women :-)
