Madness Returns Promises To Be "More Menacing Than Ever"
As a result, satisfying the books' massive fanbase was a daunting task: "[Alice's] fans are unlimited by era, age, or gender. And they are devoted. The audience for new Alice material is insatiable; but it's a critical, sophisticated, passionate crew with sky-high expectations. That combination can intimidate and stifle new versions of Alice. Derivatives of this powerful character are legion. Creators mess with an icon at their peril.
"I thought I might interest and truly engage players (and not offend fans) of a new, heroic Alice by being mindful and respectful of her knownk character traits-her courage, humor, intelligence, imaginative depth and honesty. I tried to have her never say or do anything I could not believe her mind, as I knew and exposed it, would conceive. By asking 'What would a grown-up Alice say or do in such and such a situation,' I had a great base (Carroll's) and as much latitude as I needed to build a credible and satisfying hero."
The new story for sounds incredibly promising, based on Berg's enthusiasm for Alice and the original spin he's put on both the character and the world she lives in. Alice: Madness Returns is due out on June 14th, the week after E3 wraps up, so you can expect to see some last-minute coverage from the show floor.
