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

2.0

I... don't know what to say exactly. The art, while at times a bit ridiculous, is beautiful and full of details and colors. I didn't connect with/appreciate/enjoy Diana in the slightest in this. That hurts a little because her character is generally so dynamic for me. Further, she uses some insults and language that is sexiest and far from body positive, though it's my hope that as this is an origin story, Diana will be learning the error in her ways as she grows up. I'm cautiously hopeful that this is an opportunity to show us how Wonder Woman becomes the pillar of self-acceptance and strength that we're used to, perhaps by confronting her own negative preconceived stereotypes. Beth Candy is a Beth Ditto and/or Rebel Wilson caricature which, while theoretically as fun as those women undoubtedly are, felt forced and cliche to me. Rebel Wilson isn't funny because she is a "wise cracking plus size woman," she is successful because she has an actual personality, which I didn't feel from Beth Candy.
