Colorado State’s local superhero is soaring to new heights. “The Mister Wonderful,” a webcomic created by a team in Paris, tells the story of a CSU student named Nathan Northwood who can have any superpower he wants — but he can only use it once a week.

Since the comic’s first appearance in the Collegian nearly one year ago, “The Mister Wonderful” has improved and expanded to better tell Nate’s story to people all over the world.

Writer Steeve Aubert and colorist Aline Thivone continue to create the comic from their hometown of Paris. While the comic was originally only written in English, the team has launched a French version in order to expand “The Mister Wonderful’s” audience.

“The French version of TMW got us new readers and forced me to rewrite and re-letter everything from the beginning, which is a good thing as I got to improve some things relying on the experience I gained during the year between the launch of the English version and now,” Aubert said in an online interview.
The English version will be put on hold until the French version has caught up.
In the meantime, Aubert and Thivone have made slight changes to the comic’s pervious issues. According to the Mister Wonderful Facebook page, the comic’s colors have been brightened and the dialogue and caption boxes have been slightly re-written.
The Mister Wonderful will also feature a new artist every issue. Originally, new issues came out every week. Due to the changes, a new installment of the story will now be added every month.
