Okay. So, Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette went and wrote the greatest Wonder Woman story of all time.
Gorgeous artwork, stunning colors, with a brisk pace and a thoughtful, mature, brave story.
Morrison is going for broke. This is one of the single most ambitious, outspoken, and uncompromising story of the sexes I've ever read. Totally thrilling, funny, and ingenious, this is a comic book like no other.
I don't have the words. Buy it, read it, remember it. A triumph of DC Comics, this is one for the ages. Get it now; highly, highly recommended!
I'm a little bit of a gender abolitionist, to me the ideal world would be people behaving however they want. In this one, it's men vs women, and men are the source of all violence, and women are literally superior. Like... This is literally an incel's strawman of feminism.
Anyway, I would still recommend the entire series, and I know it's a dialed-up modernized Golden Age Wonder Woman, but I wish it presented us real solutions and eased up off of casting women as superior creators that men must submit to. It's not our job to police the bad men or fix them. In an ideal society, where capitalism has been abolished and healthcare and everything else is available, men would be made better, because I dont think men are always born evil, they're molded that way by society and social constructs. Take those away and... We are all just people. Wouldn't that be nice?
Anyway, this book is sure to be controversial. I just wish we could have these discussions, and free of screeching culture warrior types going on about dem Es-Jay-Ws! Like, come on, let's be adults.
Also, I can't speak for black people but I am not sure Steve being such a device and mouthpiece is doing them any favors.
Ack! This is so much, it just leaves me with so many thoughts, but on a plus side, we see more cool mythological stuff! And um... Yeah, this one just got even weirder. 😅
Where they both pushed boundaries and presented changes to the WW canon before, while honoring the past...this volume tops it. Where Morrison took the message of love and true feminist ideal was bold. Paquette’s art & storytelling complemented every moment of Grant’s message. They have collaborated together before many times, and this shows why they are a team.
If you have Volumes 1 &2, get this NOW. If not buy them all and be prepared for a new world paradigm.

Dieser Abschlussband der WW Earth One - Trilogie (die ersten beiden waren auch schon nicht wahnwitzig interessant) war aber einzig und allein vollkommen zusammenhangloser, teilweise unerträglich pathetischer Schwachsinn. Der Band funktioniert weder als Hommage noch als Parodie und schon gar nicht als ernst zu nehmende Erzählung. Was die Protagonistinnen von sich geben, hätte sich in dieser Eindimenstionalität nicht einmal Chuck Norris am anderen Ende des Spektrums zu sagen getraut.
Das einzige, was den Band rettet, ist das atemberaubend schöne Artwork von Paquette. Dennoch ist hinsichtlich Layout und Lesbarkeit wohl auch ihm anzulasten, dass zwischen den einzelnen Szenen kaum Zusammenhang besteht. Offensichtlich versuchte man sich am Layout von Promethea zu orientieren, hat sich dabei aber hoffnungslos überschätzt.
Die politische Agenda, die in dem Band vertreten wird, ist zwar annehmbar bis lobenswert, wird allerdings mit dem Dampfhammer vertreten, sodass man sich selbst beim Lesen dafür schämt, wie plump das formuliert ist. Und Handlung? Gibt es schlicht keine. Oder zumindest keine, die nicht auch in einer 8-seitigen Story in einer Jubiläumsedition abgehandelt werden könnte.
Schade.
I came into this specific volume with trepidation, because I didn't like some of the choices in the previous volumes (Hercules being Diana's pater for example, or her strange easily-manipulated characterisation in the second volume), and Morrison's tendency to write brilliant high concept but surreal unnatural dialogue.
Imagine my surprise - I ADORED this volume. It was a thrilling, genuinely joyful read. I feel like Morrison gets everything right here: the homage to the Wonder Woman of the Golden Age, the high concept feminist sci-fi element, the joyful and cheeky wordplay, and following through on what a truly liberatory feminist revolution might look like, one that is deeply, and first and foremost, grounded in love.
There is so much to love here - it is camp, funny, exciting, and, if you look deeply enough, saying some vital stuff about what it might take to imagine new ways of being with one another in this world. I enjoy Diana best when she's a heroine who has something meaningful to say as much as do, and this volume just offered so much in that regard.
It's interesting to see some of the negative responses to this volume which seem to really miss that this book is so much about love, not hate. It explores in interesting ways the tension between forcing change and encouraging it, the strength of resistance and fragility that shows up to new world changing ideas, and what we might need to let go of in order to transform ourselves and the world we live in. It holds Diana in contrast to more "extreme" viewpoints of her sisters and other characters, but still retains her potential as a liberatory hero who braves new ground to find ways forward. I wouldn't say absolutely every attempt to explore those themes worked for me, but the ones that didn't were few, and the ones that did were genuinely uplifting.
And on top of that, this book is absolutely FULL of action and adventure! Reading the above (and other reviews) you could miss that it's also action-packed, made all the more riveting by Paquette's artwork which is really everything this story needed.
I laughed out loud reading this comic, I smiled, I triumphed, and I know I'll read it again.
Fantastic writing
Those describing this as “man hating and sexist” completely missed the point of this whole trilogy and Wonder Woman’s creators idea of the character.
Go in with an open mind
This is not my favourite incarnation of Wonder Woman. I do like the Greek mythology element of this book, the artwork works well with this, over done men are the enemy I do not.
A war of the sexes has been declared. On the Amazons and all their allies. The world and it's leaders are determined to "put them in their place". Wonder Woman must unite her people to stand against the world.
Good artwork, the story is overly sexist but with good elements in it. Though it is a bit rushed in places, and too slow in others.
