Geekscape Comics: ‘Wonder Woman: Earth One’ From Grant Morrison And Yanick Paquette In 2013?

Not too long ago it was reported that Grant Morrison would be leaving DC Comics but it has been well known that he still had one project left for them. This project was a mysterious Wonder Woman project and now it appears, according to Bleeding Cool, that we will be getting a Wonder Woman: Earth One sometime next year from Morrison and current Swamp Thing artist Yanick Paquette.

While some fans weren’t too fond of Superman: Earth One (I actually did like this one however), Batman: Earth One received critical praise and both titles have sequels in the works. Morrison stated the following about the upcoming project:

“So Marston had all these ideas and it was very deep, there was a book by him which was hidden in the DC Comics vaults because they didn’t really want anyone to see it, and a friend of mine at DC sneaked it out for me one time. And it’s this thing, and honestly you can’t read it, it’s deranged, it’s like the guys just done mescaline or something, talking about his sexual theories.

…But then Marston died, and that energy left the strip, it just disappeared… when you took the sex out of Wonder Woman, the thing went flat. And the sales died immediately after Marston himself died and never ever recovered.

… I think I’ve found a way, but I’m not gonna tell you what I’ve done because hopefully the Wonder Woman series will be out next year sometime or thereabouts. But I think I’ve found a way to get all that back in again but it took a lot of reading. This has been the hardest project I’ve ever done.

That Superman’s meant to be this ultimate expression of masculinity and he still gets to be sexual, while Wonder Woman’s meant to be the ultimate expression of womanhood and yet she isn’t allowed anything to do with sex.”

So, what do you think about this project? Does Morrison’s take on Wonder Woman sound like something that you want to read?
