A good highlight reel of Wonder Man from his debut up to more modern times. This collection starts with the very first appearance of Simon Williams, which I'd say would be a solid read even for someone who's no a fan of the silver age style of comics, followed by his resurrection. The second part starting with his first solo title is focusing a lot more on character development, and we really get to experience the things that keep Wonder Man up at night, both as an actor and as a superhero.
What I liked: The John Buscema and George Perez art in the resurrection issues. The Tales of the Marvels story was beautifully written and full of emotion, showing a regular person's perspective of Wonder Man (albeit, a warped one in her case). The banter with Beast in the team up issues. Wonder Man's personality and inner struggle starting from his first solo issue (Wonder Man #1 - 1986) up to his 2006 series.
What I didn't like: I would have wanted to see a story with him in the West Coast Avengers. The art by Andrew Currie from his 2006 solo series was weird.
