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

3.0

I'm super torn about this one. Great lines ("Amazonia has class bitches too, huh?"), pretty well written (I loved Beth Candy even though she was only there for a hot second), but...if a hundred amazons made a female utopia, that is not what they'd be wearing. I also hated that the women were drawn as Paquette wanted them in that moment-we didn't see a muscular Diana the whole book, we saw a muscular Diana when they said eh ok this fits. A lot of it was fun but a lot of it was also a male fantasy projection...and I feel very weird about that. Wonder woman could so easily be *the* badass female superhero; instead, even in Amazonia, she suffers under the male gaze.
