Pick of the week this week is a new series from Marvel Comics - Wonder Man #1. With a series on Disney+ this seems to be a perfect time to jump on board.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, SUPER-HERO ACTION!
SIMON WILLIAMS has had his ups and down, from being manipulated into villainy by the Enchantress, to being one of the brightest stars in the Avengers!
But just like HOLLYWOOD, no matter how low the lows, Simon keeps fighting the good fight! But what happens when the past finally catches up to him? Enter Randolph Chancellor: Simon’s former cellmate!
A true love letter to L.A. as well as the history of WONDER MAN, Legendary artist MARK BUCKINGHAM joins Marvel Mainstay GERRY DUGGAN!
Author: Gerry Duggan
Artists: Paulo Siqueira, and Marc Guggenheim
This is certainly an interesting beginning to a new series. Wonder Man has had some cameos in various series, but here he is on his own.
On his own? Not quite as there is an entertaining supporting cast here along with some different situations that you would expect in a superhero comic!
We've got Hollywood, agents, Hellcat and a mystery. This also nods to the recent East Coast Avengers series and a nice flashback and snide comment about Moon Knight. I especially liked the flashback scenes and how there are framed on the page.
In all, with excellent art, colours and a unique story, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Get it from Forbidden Planet:
