Morrison and Paquette conclude a trilogy that is both hurt and uplifted by being a complete work. This volume is an excellent bit of storytelling to leave readers with. Read Full Review

Certainly better than the fatally flawed Superman: Earth One series, but lacking the feel of a bold new universe that the Batman or Green Lantern books had, Wonder Woman: Earth One is ultimately little more than a strange Grant Morrison musing on just how odd Wonder Woman's long comic book history is.

while its not the best Earth One story out there, it was still a fun series overall.

Had excellent story and messages. But also has flaws in this. But overall good ending for this series.

I assume this will cap off the series since Morrison has spoke on retirement recently and I have to say it satisfies the story that was told throughout the three volumes. As a reader of superhero books though, there is a few things I do not approve of most overtly the use of brainwashing to control the masses through "love". I get a few eggs need to be broken to create a new regime , but moves like that make Harmonia look like a facist state.
The feminist overtones were a little too much until the story flipped once Steve Trevor came through and had a conversation with Wonder Woman about equality. This is around the midpoint of the story when things started to change.
Wonder Woman's metaphysical journey through the underworld was just as entertaining as the Future State yarn. The multiple bait and switches there and throughout the whole of the story served it's purpose to keep me entertained, since the first half slogged through, but as the pace picked up - I couldn't put it down.
Initially this Earth One volume looks like either a feminist pamphlet or a mockery of the movement - but in reality , Wonder Woman Earth One Vol.3 is a book that preaches equality, but teaches the dangers of government, no matter who runs it , their dedication is to control and to subjugate groups of people in favor of others.
Yes, history is marred with lies and falsehoods , but herstory can have just as many landmines.
Love is a spell, and manipulating people through emotion, is still manipulating.
But the Art of War amongst other books was observed extensively. There isn't too many books where Wonder Woman gets to be a queen, and she really shows off her tactician expertise.
Plus, it can't be forgotten that kangaroos kicking through giant-mech robots is cool as fuck.
Wonder Woman Earth One Vol.3 isn't a bad book, and it leaves an impression after it is read, but most likely not on the points that were intended.
I only wonder how this ties in to the overall Earth One universe. Yeah there probably wont be an Earth One Justice League, but I would want to see how all the other characters featured in this universe survive on Harmonia. It's an idea.
