BOOM! Studios announces Alice Ever After, a five-part comic book series that serves as a twisted sequel to Alice in Wonderland.
Comic book publisher BOOM! Studios has officially announced Alice Ever After, an upcoming five-part series that puts a new, twisted spin on the story of Alice in Wonderland.
Set to launch this April, Alice Ever After comes from the creative team of writer/artist Dan Panosian (An Unkindness of Ravens, Canary), artist Giorgio Spalletta (Red Sonja: Black, White, Red) and colorist Fabiana Mascolo. Issue #1 features main cover art by Panosian, as well as variant cover art by Jenny Frison and Adam Hughes. This “darkly surreal” series follows an adult Alice, who has essentially become addicted to Wonderland, using it as a way to escape the unfortunate realities of her life.
In Alice Ever After, Alice “struggles with a choice between facing her trauma in the real world, or escaping to Wonderland… for good.” BOOM!’s official synopsis explains, “Alice first visited Wonderland as a child. Now grown up, it’s become her only escape from a cold, harsh world that feels even less real — a distant family, a tormented lover, and a father with secrets he’ll do anything to protect. But in order to return to her fantasy, Alice will need something much stronger than mushrooms…”
Alice is “[c]ursed with a growing addiction,” which forces her into the “twisted underbelly” of London and pulls her “ever further from reality.” BOOM! poses the question of if her obsession with Wonderland is “truly a respite,” or a perhaps a “one-way ticket” to the dreaded asylum. “Witness Wonderland brought to life as never before, set against a vibrant but menacing Victorian London, as figures from Alice’s past adventures re-emerge in surprising new ways!”
“If one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small — consider this book an alternative pill that puts a twisted smile on your pretty little face,” said Panosian. “Enjoy responsibly.”
“Dan is one of my favorite authors! I’m really glad to contribute to his version of Alice, and with Fabiana’s colors on our Wonderland, this series will be unforgettable,” added Spalleta. “Put on some Jefferson Airplane, and follow us into Alice Ever After ’cause we’re already deep down the rabbit hole!”
“Get ready to get swept away by this dark, grown up sequel to the story of Alice in Wonderland that could only have come from the minds of Dan, Giorgio, and Fabiana,” said BOOM! Editor Kathleen Wisneski. “If you think you already know everything there is to know about Alice and the wild crew of characters she’s met during her adventures… you have no idea what’s in store for you!”
Alice Ever After #1 by Dan Panosian, Giorgio Spalletta and Fabiana Mascolo goes on sale in April 2022 from BOOM! Studios.
