Alice Forever After #1 steps beyond the rabbit hole — a mother’s battle against a crumbling Wonderland

Alice has left the Looking‑Glass behind and built a quiet life with her daughter Evelyn. When Wonderland starts to decay, a vengeful Cheshire Cat forces her back into a perilous adventure that could threaten the very family she’s trying to protect.

Boom! Studios launches a fresh take on the classic myth with Alice Forever After #1. Writer‑artist Dan Panosian teams up with penciller Giorgio Spalletta, delivering a debut that blends domestic drama with the surreal menace of Wonderland’s ruins.

Years after escaping the chaos of the strange realm, Alice enjoys a simple existence with her curious young daughter, Evelyn. The peace shatters when the once‑eccentric Cheshire Cat, now bitter and desperate, seeks a solution for the collapsing Wonderland—and his attention turns to the child who represents Alice’s new world.

What makes this issue stand out is the personal stake: a mother confronting the ghosts of her past to safeguard her child. Panosian’s dual role as writer and cover artist ensures a cohesive vision, while Spalletta’s line work captures both the eerie decay of the otherworld and the warm intimacy of a family home. It feels like a love letter to the original tale, re‑imagined for modern readers.

If the mix of parent‑hood and fairy‑tale horror intrigues you, consider checking out Boom!’s The Unwritten. That series also rewrites mythic stories through a contemporary lens, offering a similarly rich blend of personal stakes and fantastical intrigue. Both books invite you to see familiar legends in a whole new light.
