Sep 03, 2011It's a real shame that "Herc," like the "Incredible Hercules" that preceded it, is wrapping up soon. This issue is another firm reminder that this is a comic that mixes humor and drama together well. Pak and Van Lente are able to take the mythical and the modern and make them work well together, and while I never know entirely what to expect from their scripts, it's almost always excellent. In a better world, these comics would be best-sellers. I know we've got a few months to go, but it stands to be said: I'll miss you, "Herc." Read Full Review

Sep 04, 2011Sadly, if anything turns readers off this issue, its going to be the artwork. Mike Grell would seem to be the perfect match for this title, but the pages arent at all up to his usual standard. The faces are weak, the poses are strange, and only engaging thing about this issues villain comes through some impressive color work. For a legend like Grell, you expect far more than we get in this issue. Its a shame that this issue isnt sharper, because otherwise it does precisely what you would want it to do. Read Full Review
