Written once again by Raven Gregory, the new series begins with issue #0 in June followed by #1 in July.

Months have passed since Calie Liddle returned from the realm of madness, months since Wonderland took everything from her. Now jaded and bitter, Calie is attempting to lead a more normal existence in New York City. With a new name and a different identity, Calie is just beginning to adjust to another life. But not every story has a happy ending as she soon realizes that things in her brand new life are going to get really bad, really fast. Something from the realm of insanity has found it's way out and Calie knows that she could very well be the only one who has a chance to send it back. The much anticipated sequel to the smash hit series arrives this summer and this time around madness will reach well Beyond Wonderland.

Story co-creator/Zenescope Vice-President: We just wanted to raise the stakes in terms of horror, action and drama this time around. But we also really felt we needed show the growth of this awesome character, Calie, from the insecure teenager we met in the first series to the now much stronger woman she has become."

Writer Raven Gregory: "I think fans are going to love what we have in store. The first series was only the tip of the iceberg."
