![]() ![]() i love Yannick Pacquette’s art, and i doubt there are many people left on the earth who don’t know my affinity for all things Grant Morrison. so i had to wait to get this book, but once i got it, i threw myself right into it. I was actually pretty excited about reading this, but of course, my amazon order was delayed by almost two weeks. I suppose the inevitable sequels will do some of that, but at $22.99 (okay, I only paid about half that, but still) per volume, the next one's going to have to get busy doing just that real quick. Wonder Woman is a character rife with deliciously intriguing contradictions (a feminist icon consistently portrayed from a "male gaze" perspective is bound to be, I suppose) and rich in philosophical and thematic possibilities " yet most of that is barely even hinted at here, much less actually explored. But I can't help feeling that, on a purely conceptual level, a lot was left "on the table" here, as the saying goes. ![]() ![]() And I enjoyed the classically-tinged dialogue that Morrison employs throughout. (trashfilmguru) May 8, 2016Ĭertainly Paquette's art here is gorgeous throughout and his lush, organic style " coupled with the vibrant tones of colorist Nathan Fairbairn " gives the book a sleek, elegant, and graceful look that goes well with the quasi-lyrical, almost free-flowing nature of the script. ![]()
