A review by orangerful
Wonder Woman: Earth One, Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison

3.0

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.
