Wonder Woman: Earth One: Complete Collection
For millennia, the Amazons of Paradise Island have lived in hidden isolation from the world of men. Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons, is raising her daughter Diana to be a healer and to learn from her fellow Amazons. When Steve Trevor crashes on Paradise Island, Diana makes a choice which will not only change her, but also her home and the world of men.
Morrison's plot is expansive and covers a new origin story, as well as an intriguing plot where the US Government is determined to end the threat of the Amazons. The artwork is not just amazing, but genuinely beautiful. Wonder Woman is drawn to stun in this book, but the emphasis is on power and control and the message of equality and female empowerment makes this an important addition to DC's line.

Grant honey this really ain't it.

A deep look at Wonder Woman but even more the Amazon society which envision a post patriarchy world.

I cannot avoid thinking that WW sounded a bit fascistic and dictatorial at times...

echoing my sentiments on Superman and the Authority, late Morrison is best understood as a process of introducing new worlds, characters, concepts, etc and letting the imagination (and/or other artists) take it from there...there's a thrilling faith in the principle that these fictions exist independent of us, to the degree that they no longer bring attention to this phenomena...instead, they simply approach storytelling in a tangential manner, lightly sketching the outlines of countless ideas and letting them breathe and bloom...i believe the final pages of WW: Earth One put this succinctly in refuting the idea of a big bang, instead describing the birth of the universe as a gradual unfolding, a graceful, self-sufficient system endlessly spreading outward
WW: Earth One's specific thesis stands somewhat outside of the usual Morrisonisms...in an effort to capture this specific character in her original incarnation, Morrison adapts an updated, even more blatant bdsm streak than Marston's initial run, letting this framework shape not only the aesthetics of Diana and the Amazons but their mythologies and ideologies, their goals and aspirations...this hyperspecific feminism threatens to lovingly "end the world" in the same sense as Moore's Promethea: via a reworking of our processes of thought, an upending of conventional ways of thinking, an expansion of the imagination...and the trilogy of graphic novels is characterized by an unstoppable entropy toward this conclusion; there's a sense of comfortable inevitability to the overturning of Man's World and the coming Amazonian Utopia and i fuck with that so hard!!
difficult to determine how important this is to the tapestry of Morrison's larger work, not only on a literal plane but thematically...it remains a bit incongruous with their saga as i know it so far, but i anticipate that with time and a better idea of the big picture it will come into focus...as is, i find this to be such a remarkably fun and concise reworking of many of the same beats as Promethea, with a decompressed pace traded in for that hyper-compressed, breakneck pace characteristic of Morrison's 2010s work

Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette present an Earth One Wonder Woman in a way that hits all the major points but several compelling narrative choices.
Wonder Woman's purpose not just to be a diplomat between worlds, but a conqueror to smash the patriarchy and liberate woman. Yes it may make some readers uncomfortable, good!

Some of the best comic art I've seen in years. Writing was okay, not terrible but not great. Still the art was so well done it was easy to overlook the lackluster story.

this has to be satire. please say sike... (art was pretty tho, but weird motifs kept appearing)

Some interesting ideas poorly told.

Interesting revival. Loses a lot of focus in the second half.

Se nota el cariño que tiene Morrison por los supers y como actualiza conceptos de la edad de oro/plata metiendo sus movidas™, pero no es su mejor historia. Increíble el apartado artístico eso si

I always love a good Wonder Woman comic especially collections!

Read it for the art.
The rest of it sucks.
Honestly, I could do without the woke agenda and with more Greek mythology.
