Una historia de origen bastante "x" de parte de Morrison, no aporta mucho a lo ya dicho antes, aparte tiene una fuerte manifestación feminista bastante pendeja, y para terminar esto, hace a Steve Trevor negro, y no hay problema en eso, si no en que sólo lo hace así para relatar una pequeña parte de su historia.
Al igual que Arkham Asylum, esto es de lo peor que ha escrito.

I've really enjoyed Grant Morrison's take on Wonder before...

But this time... Not at all.

This gets 2 stars only because of Yannick Paquette's lovely art.

A more interesting reboot than most attempts at Diana.

Interesting

This is definitely a Grant Morrison work. Not sure I liked everything so, but I'm interested. Art is beautiful and the layout is really cool.

This was BAD!!
oh.....the story line was such a mess. I didn't enjoy at all reading it.

3.5 stars.

I didn't feel this one was quite as good as Batman. I don't know why it is so hard to write a good Wonder Woman story. Maybe it is because that she, like Thor, is just born awesome. She doesn't have the whole "death of her family" like Superman and Batman, nothing to really overcome so her origin story isn't quite as engaging. They tried to give her some mother issues but she came off more as a spoiled brat than a struggling hero.

Also, the art was just so typical...all the girls have their mouths hanging half open and they were supposed to be shocked when Diana came home wearing makeup but...um, she didn't look that much different from when she left.

I love that in a world that is devoid of men and no influence from men, everyone likes to imagine women would still wear skimpy clothing and bustiers. Be real - it would be a land of sweatpants and t-shirts, maybe jean shorts when it is cold.

I frequently find myself somewhat disappointed by Grant Morrison's stories--at least the ones he writes with already-established characters. He has such a great reputation, but I rarely feel strongly moved or enlightened by what's he written.

WW:EO, v.1 leaves me with the same feeling of, "meh." Yes, he does his own take on the bondage and submission, the same sex relationships on the island, the fact that Amazons are (almost) always presented as beautiful and perfect physical specimens, when the women of Man's World are all shapes and sizes, and the likely response that women on a magical island, isolated from men for over 3000 years, would have to a man's presence and Diana's interest in the outside world. Everything he does is perfectly defensible; it just didn't interest me particularly. I don't feel any desire to learn more about this Diana and how she interacts with the world (though I liked the depiction of Steve Trevor).

3.5/5ish?

I love Wonder Woman. However, because I am fairly new to the comic book world, as well as because of limited funds and whatnot, I unfortunately haven’t read as much Wonder Woman as I’d like. But after seeing Batman v Superman, I really re-fell in love with her. I was disappointed with a lot of the film, but Wonder Woman’s treatment was extremely well-done, and just got me insanely excited for her solo film (same with Affleck’s Batman). It also made me want to immediately re-read Wonder Woman comics I had already read, and get more comics that I hadn’t.

After finding out a year plus ago that Grant Morrison was writing an Earth One book featuring Wonder Woman, I was excited. And when I found out it was coming out shortly after BvS, I simply couldn’t wait because of how much I just loved Wonder Woman in the film.

So, super hyped up for a new Wonder Woman book? Check. A Grant Morrison book, no less? Check. A self-contained story because it’s in the Earth One universe? Check. Art from someone as great as Yannick Paquette? Check. Coming out at the perfect time when I’m already more hyped about Wonder Woman than usual? Check.

To say I was excited would be an understatement. And, as such, I had extremely high expectations.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the greatest comic ever like I had hoped. Instead, it was just pretty good.

In terms of technical details it was really good. Morrison knows how to write a story, and he showed that once again here. Paquette is a great artist, and he too showed that here. So from purely a technical standpoint, it was great.

However, some of the details didn’t work for me. In terms of writing, there were a few parts that seemed a bit heavy-handed to me. As if Morrison was trying create a very showy, super feminist book, rather than just writing a feminist story. Now maybe that’s just me, but I think it’s better writing when there’s female character and the writer doesn’t scream at you “hey I’m a strong female character.” Just let Wonder Woman be Wonder Woman, who is a strong female character. This is something done perfectly in Mad Max: Fury Road, I think. It features an incredibly strong female character but it doesn’t have to yell at you to point it out—she simply is a great character.

Which, I do have to mention, despite what I just said, Wonder Woman’s characterization here is near perfect (a few things she says are troubling). I’ve always loved her character, and this book was no exception; in the end, it definitely got me excited for the next chapter after being introduced to this version of her, as I can’t wait to see her in action after the end of this story.

There were a few other parts of the story I just didn’t care for either—the culture of Wonder Woman’s people felt a bit forced sometimes instead of being natural, and her “adapting” to the English language was downright cheesy at times.

And there were also some art issues I had. Now, as I said, Paquette is an amazing artist, but as is almost always the case with Wonder Woman, I didn’t like the way she was drawn (the exception being Cliff Chiang who I think did it very well, as well as one of the more recent runs with David Finch drawing her re-designed costume). Now I get that Diana herself wouldn’t care (nor does she really need much protection of any kind, just like Superman doesn’t), so it “shouldn’t” matter, but the unfortunate fact is that it does—because our world has been objectifying and sexualizing women forever, and this comic, unfortunately, continues that, at least IMO. I just wish that she could be the amazing character she is without being drawn in ways that amplifies certain parts of her body, because of how much women are objectified still today.

As I mentioned, I really like the way Chiang drew her, and I also love her BvS costume, as I don’t think either are objectifying, even though they’re still obviously her costume. I just wish more people could follow their lead, including Paquette/Morrison in this book.

Otherwise, in terms of art, it was very well done. As I said, Paquette is an amazing artist and he always has a great artistic relationship with colorist Nathan Fairbairn, both of whom always deliver together a book that’s very nice to look at.

Overall, it was simply not as amazing as I was expecting (though to be fair I had incredibly high expectations), but it did make me very excited for the next book in the series, which I suppose is far more positive than negative, even with the problems I had.

I do not kinkshame.
But please.
Find help if this made you hot&bothered.

THIS WAS AN AMAZING FEMIST KICK BUTT ORGIN STORY.

Love love love love love love LOVE.
