Now from Zenescope Entertainment is Wonderland: Child Of Madness #3, with my thoughts on this mini-series's third and final issue.
With her mother on the brink of death, Violet is left without many options, but a path does present itself through the treacherous maze which is the insanity of Wonderland. Violet and Calie have had their ups and downs in this demented world that has haunted their family over the years, but the secrets revealed in this story, and the choices made within, will alter all that we know about the realm of dreams. Everything must come to an end-what was born must die, and those rules even apply to denizens of Madness. Don't miss the story that will change everything!

Completing this story, and there is a lot to pack in.
I think that this issue gives the whole Wonderland sage a sense of closure for this chapter and sets things up moving forward. Only in a light term, though, and that works well for the mess that can be Wonderland.
As far as action is concerned, there aren’t massive amounts, although the final third does have some good fight scenes and well-angled aspects. I like the storytelling, though, and it guides you well as we get introductions to a new character and their story and how Wonderland has affected them.
It’s a bittersweet finish, but as I say, it finishes the story here with hints about what will come.
