This collection of stories is slightly more interesting than the first volume. I ended up enjoying more of them on a whole, especially the Cheshire Cat tale and the Mad Hatter one as well.
My personal tidbit is that these stories still all connect to the main story and its characters. And while it’s beneficial in some ways it also makes this overall simple tale unnecessarily convoluted.
Separate, one shot tales of Wonderland would’ve been a better way to go but oh well. It’s a better read than the first volume but still mediocre at best.

Better than the first one, as we do learn some more about some characters, such as the first mad hatter, before Drake even was Jack the Ripper and he fell in love with Lizzie Bordon.
The Red Queen gets some more background too, as does Cheshire.
Overall, a decent addition but somewhat gratuitously violent as normal.

After a few volumes, you’ll get the drill. The format and the hard selling images of sexy women is getting tired. The story is not going anywhere (yet).

This is basically an 'origins of' book. The first story is the origin of the cheshire cat. As usual, lots of people die in gruesome ways.
The second story concerns a new Queen of Hearts for Wonderland. It appears Wonderland is a little like Philip Jose Farmer's River of Souls series, for when beings die they regenerate, but the new Red Queen has a way to stop that; cut off their heads and keep them separate from their bodies.
The next story is the origin of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee and their horrible father. Again, more deaths.
In the next story we find out one of the version of the Mad Hatter was none other than Jack the Ripper.
The final story goes into more about the sacrificial arrangement to Wonderland, how it came to be and who benefited by it. This story is followed by a cover gallery section, a beastiary of sorts, and Escape from Wonderland, bonus issue #0.
Another violent, but good book in the series.

Making the Alice in Wonderland tale into a contemporary nightmare with a psychotic twist wherein Alice is an adult, sexily drawn, and the Chesire Cat is so jacked he'd make Brock Lesnar look like a kitten seemed like it'd be sick. But the writing is incredibly poor and absurdly repetitive. And the illustrations are super inconsistent as well. I thought this would be a cool Adult Spin but instead, with all its horrible One-Liners and Extra Gratuitous Gore, it's an EdgeLord's wet dream.
I love the premise but the execution was bad at best. Whoever does Quality Control at Grimm Fairy Tales isn't getting it right. Maybe it's the Mad Hatter.

I recently picked up Return to Wonderland and found it pleasantly disturbing. These books feature top notch horror and not for the faint of heart. But, if you love your stories dark and disturbing. This is the book for you. I would start with the Return to Wonderland Trade. Then move onto the Tales of Wonderland trades (volume 1 and volume 2)and then the Beyond Wonderland trade before tackling escape from wonderland. (Or you can just Wikipedia the story to catch up).

Very brutal version of some events occurring in and out of Wonderland, based off of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

This is so freaking confusing. Is it suppose to make sense with Tales vol 1?

Ah yes... a children's classic that re-imagines character origin stories with lots of sex and violence! Perfect.
