Wonder Man #5 is out, and Gerry Duggan’s Marvel run on the character is now complete. Released July 22, 2026, the fifth and final issue of Wonder Man Vol. 4 closes a five-issue limited series that used a Hollywood backdrop to examine moral weight without offering a clean resolution. The series ran from March 2026 to July 2026.
The series, Wonder Man Vol. 4, launched on March 18, 2026. Duggan — best known for his long Deadpool run at Marvel — wrote all five issues. Mark Buckingham handled interior art throughout the run, with Phil Noto taking over for the final issue. Issue #5’s cover was by Marco Checchetto and Frank Martin.
Simon Williams, the character also known as Wonder Man, is an actor in the Marvel universe. The series put his career and his past at the center of the story. Over five issues, Simon pursued a role that could define his career while dealing with the consequences of his time in prison, his former cellmate’s world collapsing around him, and a corrupt agent whose NFT scheme led to embezzlement and at least one death.
The final issue brings that thread to a head. Simon learns from the Avengers where Matthew Walters — the agent connected to the scheme — is headed by plane. He intercepts the aircraft mid-flight, pulls the door off, and demands answers about Rudolph Chancellor, a figure whose guilt over the scheme led him to leap from a Cessna to his death. Walters confirms Chancellor is gone. What Simon does with that information — and what he decides not to do — is where the series ends.
There’s no resolution that feels complete. The series doesn’t offer one, and that appears to be deliberate. Throughout the five issues, Duggan built a story around moral weight that can’t be cleanly resolved, set in an entertainment industry where accountability rarely arrives in any satisfying form. Collider described the issue’s release as “officially the end of an era” for the character.
Simon worked alongside Hellcat throughout the run, and the series kept its focus tight — five issues, one coherent story, a specific setting, and a clear sense of what the book was actually about. Critics noted that kind of discipline is not always easy to find in monthly superhero publishing.
Marvel has continued expanding its publishing slate across multiple formats in 2026. The Wonder Man series was among the more restrained entries in that lineup — a character-driven limited run that didn’t rely on crossover events or continuity scaffolding to tell its story. Whether that makes it easier or harder to find an audience is a separate question, but the five issues that exist are complete as a unit.
The series is now collected and available through Marvel’s publishing arm. Duggan’s next project at Marvel has not been announced as of this writing.
