There's a new Wonder Man series out. I didn't see it storytimed earlier in the week, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it myself.Read along if you like and bump if you're interested.

>>153073116In case you had any doubts whether this was written by Duggan or whether it was picking up things from where his West Coast Avengers left off, Tommy with the blue hair should clear that up.

>>153073016Strange, they aren't using the new one
>>153073163
>>153073168>>153073165I will be surprised if this series doesn't tie into the Ultimate Impact Reborn thing or whatever it's titled.
>>153073175
>>153073058I want to find it charming that Marvel's remembered Ziggy and Silly and thus there's been a surprising amount of use and cameoing but I'm realising the only reason this could even happen is out of a desperate "what more IP can we dig up" and it's removed any joy I could find in it

>>153073199
>>153073018Huh. At first I thought it was a reference to that dragon, but there is an actual Monark Starstalker, so it is like the Arkon films. There are a lot of comic books from Marvel I never heard of.
>>153073208Twist! This is also a stealth spinoff of last year's The Vision & the Scarlet Witch miniseries.
>>153073165They need time to humiliate the original before introducing his replacement
>>153073225And that's it for this issue.
>>153073233Next issue promises more mystery and more Patsy. If you liked this issue then consider following >>153073067's example and buying the comic or whatever.
>>153073111Val!
>>153073189He’s a big guy.
A bit weird but not as boring as I thought a Wonder Man solo would be
>>153073096>>153073102>>153073111Is the memory loss gonna be a plot point?
>>153073225Who has died more times between the Williams brothers?
>>153073016Why is the art so bad?
>>153073165>Strange they aren't replace him with black guy so I can pretend I care about Simon and be outraged
What if Wonder Man was female?
>>153073085>Darkhawk filmokay but why
>>153074332Maybe it is a swan song
>>153074272Why are you still expecting good art from a modern-day Big Two comic?
>>153073111Simon Williams and Steven Grant should hang out more. And they should reference the time Steven made a biopic about himself.
>>153074272Buckingham doesn't care and is just running Marvel Contract down, maybeOr the Inker is fucking up his linework
>>153073197>I'm realising the only reason this could even happen is out of a desperate "what more IP can we dig up" and it's removed any joy I could find in ityou just described 90% of Marvel for the last 5 years
I'm softer on Gerry Duggan than a lot of this board. I thought his West Coast Avengers had potential and might have been a nice charming side book if it didn't suffer the 10 issue curse that plagues just about everything at Marvel. He writes a good Wonder Man. This looks like it can be a charming little mini.And honestly, hopefully, just a decent swan song to Simon Williams before whatever sad pathetic synergy thing is coming with Origin Boxes. That Marvel you grew up with is dead and gone and never coming back. a B/C list character getting one good "and thats the last one" mini is a miracle
>>153075716I don't really dislike him but I think he's not great at writing ensembles. Team books like X-Men and WCA suffer from it. A solo series like this might play better to his strengths.
>>153075756(Modern) Team books at the Big 2 are antithetical to decent storytelling. Your best bets are something like McKay's Moon Knight which is a solo but has a strong supporting ensemble of additional capes on his team
>>153073016Not reading, just popping in to say that Duggan sucks.
>>153073079People dress like this in 2015
>>153073239That’s a big titty Hellcat
