If you've read the first two volumes of Morrison's Earth One Wonder Woman, then you shouldn't be surprised where this one is headed.
I appreciate the imaginative re-thinking of the Wonder Woman mythos that Morrison delivered with this three volume series. Not everything works and at times it feels like pages or sections were left out of the story (something I noticed in the first two volumes as well).

What did I just read?! No, seriously, what was happening? So much time passed between the releases of these three books that I was completely confused by the plot, not to mention Morrison's very odd script. I love this creative team so much, and I like how they took Wonder Woman's off-the-page origins and applied her quite literally to end the patriarchy and teach men everywhere to love submission to a kind, wise, loving, womanly authority. But they lost me so much of the time, it's hard to give this more than 2 stars without going back and binge-reading the whole miniseries.

The reviews of this one on goodreads are absolutely hilarious, lol. Who are these people reading a wonder woman comic and shocked to find feminist themes and rhetoric? Who are these freako right wingers surprised grant morrison writes the establishment of communism into a work they wrote lol. This was honestly great, great send off to the trilogy, and a great entry point into the world of Diana imo. This is a good re-imagining of her origins and adventures for the modern age, much better than the movies mainly because it's actually based on and in conversation with Marston's work. The amazons are literally ancient greeks plucked out of time to the modern age, lol, they expanded with magic and their own technology to have high tech marvels such as the purple ray that can heal any wound!

This tells the story of how the Amazons established a feminist eutopia. It's cleverly told and has lots of references to classic literature.

The artwork is stunning. The story isn't. There's definitely room for this sort of revisioning in comics, but this is too simplistic (all woman = amazing, all men = pure evil or stupid), and feels rushed with many characters given short shrift, and then other elements that are just plain bonkers.

So this one was better. The action picks up and the story has more sense to it, even if the ending totally negates one of the things that I love most about Wonder Woman. But, yeah. I still, as a whole, would not recommend this to any Wonder Woman fan. It just isn't really Wonder Woman.
2.5/5
