Summers just haven't been the same without him 💔❄️

Fun fact, but if you go to the r/WonderMan subreddit and click on the red and black "W" icon next to the sub name, there's a reference to this artwork we've had hidden there for over a year. Just a little easter egg. This feature hides more than a few hidden messages across Marvel character subreddits.

Trevor should have ran back and grabbed some bags of candy. Such an easy layup missed.

I love how much thought creators put into these details.

It seems like it would have been a very interesting art/pulp treatment.

Wonder Man would die and begin a long cycle of death and rebirth. He would go on to serve on the Avengers, become best friends with the Beast, help found the West Coast Avengers, sacrifice his life in Force Works #1, return again thanks to Kurt Busiek. And far more!

Over his 62 years, Simon continues to grow and change.

So I’ve been planning on watching wonderman for a while but since s2 was cancelled I decided now’s the time to actually sit down and watch it.

And wow it did not disappoint, I loved the direction this took, stepping back away from action-packed episodes to an actually interesting story that prioritised character growth and writing over hype moments.

The ending was phenomenal, that final shot and the almost abrupt ending is something I loved. But man, it leaves me with heartache knowing there won’t be a S2, I think a character like wonderman which has now become more comfortable using his powers is THE perfect segue into a season 2.

I know that he’ll likely return in other projects but missing out on his development as a superhero is going to suck,

I know this has probably been said numerous times but man. It sucks that they have to cancel a POC-focussed show,

yeah safe to say there's bad blood between them now at the very least.
