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 Man's 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 can't 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 Morrison's latest genre-rocking salvo. With illustrations from Yanick Paquette, this original graphic novel is a classic in the making. No library descriptions found. |

Diana is having second thoughts that she can make the world better. And then to make matters worse, the Government sics a psy-ops guy on her. I did not like that part and felt like it didn't quite ring true to Diana's character.
It's also a sort of lowest common denominator plot. Oh, then men with guns don't want the powerful woman to have any power. Go figure. That's life in 2018.
I did really like the stuff on Themyscira though, and it was definitely a different sort of use of Paula too.
And of course, because of the cliffhanger ending, they've hooked me if there's a third volume as well.
I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment. ( )
