Dorno of the Herculoids - now a grown adult - has been granted godlike powers... and may be the most powerful being in the universe... and it seems the boy he once was is gone forever. Has he forgotten his parents and the heritage of the Herculoids? And why is the equally godlike entity Animan eager to become a mentor to the new Dorno?
I wanted to like this arc, but due to predictable tangents it falls short of anything memorable and the only reason to reread this sequence is to absorb yourself within the brilliance of its depiction " and that in itself is reason enough. Read Full Review
Thus far, the two Future Quest arcs by guest writers haven't been up to Parker's level, but they both worked nicely as part of the main series. Read Full Review
Bringing these characters from my childhood into comics, and especially into DC Comics, has provided some heartfelt moments. Just seeing those characters' names in print, and seeing them go through entirely less-cartoony scenarios...it's something to be commended. This issue is deserving of levels of praise, as well. There is a solid plot and the reveals are given solid setups. There is smart, well done craft in art shown here in scenes where the artists clearly knew how they wanted it laid out and went for it. It just lacked some of the pizzazz and sharp punctuation I was looking for. Read Full Review
Whether or not you're familiar with The Herculoids, this comic is bound to read as a very odd experience. It simultaneously attempts to embrace the nostalgic fun of childhood adventure cartoons and a very dark story filled with death and petulant gods. Read Full Review
As I mentioned, you can give this book to a kid and you do not have to worry that she or he will be scarred for life. If you liked the After School Specials, this book is for you. If you like Suicide Squad, you need to move past this. Read Full Review
Now I want an ongoing Herculoids series drawn by Aaron Lopresti.
This was a surprisingly well-done story, the ending was predictable, but overall much better than one would expect. Probably best for kids.
