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

2.0

I didn't really like this one. The Amazons were narrow-minded, judgmental, jealous and at times seemingly cruel. Diana was a product of their ignorance and didn't seem particularly wonderful. She body shamed and likened little girls to cowering, useless babes. I did think that perhaps the writers did this intentionally to show growth and the fact that perfection isn't born, but achieved, but upon the first reading it really doesn't come across that way.

I appreciated how Themyscira was more advanced, not unlike Atlantis, but that was pretty much the only positive about the whole story. You can totally tell that this one was written by a man (not to sound reductive and misandrist.) but...yeah. It was "eh" at best.

1.8/5
