Zenescope Solicitations May 2012

May is a couple of months away, which means it's time to start planning for what books you want to pick up in that fine month. Zenescope would like to let you in on a little secret: they've got some books due out that you may be interested in.

In Call of Wonderland #1, the Jabberwocky has been defeated. The Queen of Hearts is dead and Wonderland is in a state of chaos with no ruler on the throne. All events which signal the perfect time for the Red Knight to unleash a deadly force. Meanwhile, a literary student studying Lovecraft learns something that could save or damn everyone. It's a little hazy.

Alice in Wonderland #6 has Alice confronting the ruler of Wonderland while also facing her greatest fear. With stakes as high as the fate of both Wonderland and Earth at stake, Alice has to find a way to defeat madness in its purest form. It's even got a great tri-fold Last Supper Tea Party cover by Anthony Spay.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige are on the case of magic gangs fighting the government in Charmed #22. They've got their work cut out for them without their own magic.

The Grimm Fairy Tales Omnibus is a beast that collects the first fifty issues of the series by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco. Readers can follow Sela as she uses the classic tales of old to lead modern day men and women to the right choices, all while fighting evil. It's 1,000 pages, so the $59.99 price tag is justifiable.
