Hot the heels of Wonder Man hitting Disney+ at the end of January, two months later Marvel Comics will release a five-issue series by Gerry Duggan and Mark Buckingham with the comic book version of Wonder Man, who does not look like Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is playing him on TV. Comics: gotta love ’em!
“Wonder Man has always been a favorite of mine, and so’s Mark Buckingham,” Duggan said via press release. “To be able to collaborate with one of the kings of comics and a true gentleman has been a thrill and a privilege. Simon Williams dreams of Hollywood, and his city and show business has had a rough go of it. Join us for a very special debut, starring Wonder Man, his chosen family and the one he was born into. This one’s going to be special.”
Added Buckingham, “It is has been a delight to dive into Wonder Man’s world for this brand new solo series and a pleasure to work with Gerry Duggan. Simon is a good man, who doesn’t always make the best choices. He takes care of his family and friends… but often to his own detriment. Especially when it comes to Randolph Chancellor. It has been fun designing a distinctive look for this book that will help ground us in Hollywood as Simon Williams revisits his LA life. There is action, adventure, a little bit of romance, and a lot of laughs.”
In the limited series, Wonder Man is back in Hollywood, and while trying to still make it in Tinsel Town he also is involved in a “deadly mystery involving an old friend.” As teased in the recently concluded Longshots miniseries co-written by Duggan, Hellcat will be along for the ride.
Wonder Man #1 hits stores on March 18, 2026 from Marvel Comics. Check out covers by Paulo Siqueria, Netho Diaz, Phil Noto and Mark Buckingham, as well as synopsis and solicit info below.
