This was the Earth One book I was looking forward most to reading as it was the most recent release, and I'd seen much buzz about it on some of my comics resources in Twitter, etc., which made it that much more disappointing of a read. Admittedly, I've never been a huge fan of Morrison's writing. He seems to expect the artist to pick up a lot of slack for the ambiguity or implicit language in his dialogue, but then doesn't give his artist any notes or guidance of how to actually supplement those narrative/conversational gaps in their art, so the whole thing feels incomplete and convoluted. This wasn't helped one bit by the busy and unnecessarily sporadic panel arrangement. Plus, Morrison's attempt to, as a man, write an exceptionally feminist story for one of comics' greatest feminist icons was overtly heavy-handed and not at all well-informed or even, it seemed, was it an attempt made in earnest. The whole thing is riddled with imagery of chains and bondage breaking, but he failed to develop any significant side characters besides Diana herself and Hippolyta. The art was phenomenal, but still portrayed a decidedly male gaze. It was good to see more of Themiscyra, but the world was not populated to any depth whatsoever. I had high hopes for this book, and it didn't realize anything that it seemed to set out to, aside from making Diana a nearly offensively one-dimensional hero and relying on a single visual motif to try and pass as pro-female.
