Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 2 | Grant Morrison
1 post | 4 read | 2 to read
The highly anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times best-selling original graphic novel is here in Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 2, from the acclaimed creative team of Grant Morrison and Yanick Paquette! For years Diana of Paradise Island yearned to leave behind the only home she knew for adventures that lay beyond its shores. Now, after a fateful meeting with Air Force pilot Steve Trevor, the Amazon Warrior finds herself in ManÕs World. And she is ready for anything that it may throw at her. But is the world ready for Wonder Woman? An American government, fraught with dissension and conflicts foreign to Diana, have deemed her a danger to society. How will Wonder Woman carry out her mission of peace and love in a world that canÕt get out of its own way? That is, unless there are more insidious forces at play... Continuing the tradition of critically acclaimed Earth One tales that challenge the status quo of the comics industry, Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 2 is Grant MorrisonÕs latest genre-rocking salvo. With illustrations from Yanick Paquette, this original graphic novel is a classic in the making.

Interesting, though not fully formed. Both of these WW: Earth One volumes have felt oddly paced, and this one has a fair bit of middle chapter syndrome, and yet as an update to the Wonder Woman myth, it works. From her culturally adaptive costume to dealing with pick-up-artists, nationalism, and trans rights, this feels like a truly 21st century take on the character. Sloppy, but definitely engaging.
