That is so fitting ^^

[darkblade]

There's uh something in my eye.

[worldwillshout]

My face seems to be leaking.

[neuhallidae]

I'll...just be over here... in tears.

[joasakura]

Man. :(

[kirke_novak]

That makes my eyes rain. ;_;

[foxhack]

Man, the more I see Sk'aar, the more I see Damian Wayne.

[tahngarth.livejournal.com]

Third death of Hercules, actually.

[glprime]

Shhh!

[robogeek]

Pouring out a libation to the dead? That's actually part of the tradition.

[icon_uk]

Yes, but I doubt that soda would be seen as being worthy of Hercules. Wine? Certainly. Ale? No problem. Carbonated sugary beverages? Not so obvious.

[robogeek]

Look at the can, though. Bet it's Herc Cola ("A Lion of a Beverage!") or something like that

[nezchan]

I assumed it was beer.

[colonel_green]

All Herc's ladies made it for his funeral.

I'm sure there's a lesbian smut fic in there somewhere.

[halloweenjack]

Shit, they've got their own island, there'd better be.

[bruinsfan]

Were they able to fit them all in the Parthenon? Hell, the whole Acropolis is only about 7 acres...

[colonel_green]

Also, Ariel Olivetti isn't my favourite artist, but this is decent stuff.

[stubbleupdate]

For his hommies? Is the eromenos thing canon now?

[shadowpsykie]

Hylas was his eromenos

hercules flirted and "fondly remembered" his friends on the argos (he said stuff that clearly implied he found them attractive.)

Amadeus however was never his eromenos though... i think.... :)

hmmm does anyone else know any "gay/bi moments from the Hercules series?)

[neuhallidae]

He flirted pretty hard with most of the male gods from other pantheons during the Secret Invasion tie-ins. ... Or maybe that was just my take on it.

[espanolbot]

The Heroes of Earth! ...And an elf lady!

[neuhallidae]

Who was a villain last time we saw her. But hey, she and Herc were "friendly", so she gets to come too.

[sherkahn]

so she gets to come too.

Yeah, someone opened up the way to the dirty place in the mind earlier and forgot to close the door.

[colonel_green]

I don't know that she was particularly evil; she wanted to conquer Asgard when she thought she'd married Thor, but otherwise she seemed fairly nice.

[long_silence]

Where is She-Hulk?

She's still in the middle of that whole Fall of Hulks mess. As far as I know she's still missing in action.

[nezchan]

Hey, if Wolverine can be on three different continents in the same month (and Deadpool on five), Shulkie can damn well show up for Herc.

[mullon]

That's beer right? That beter be beer.

[proteus_lives]

The men should leave beer and buffalo wings.

The women should leave their panties.

[nezchan]

Wait, is this Herc or Tom Jones?

[lonewolf23k]

An appropriate tribute. He would've wanted it that way.

[lieut_kettch]

Something's not right if they're holding Herc's funeral service at the temple dedicated to the person that killed him.

[darkblade]

I don't think the masses know the exact details of his death.

[outlawpoet]

At this point, it might be the most intact Greek Temple of any kind, certainly the most famous. And remember, Athena's involvement is probably only really known by Cho and co.

I gotta say, Thor showing up with the Avengers Past is pretty heavy. The Asgardians are the closest thing to a religion I would buy in the Marvel U.

I mean, how metal would it be to ask Skurge the Executioner for his blessings on your endeavors? They better be loyal service to a great lady, or mortal combat, or GTFO.

[colonel_green]

Cho and co. don't know (though he may suspect).

[palabradot]

I am hoping the rest of that line up there is "F-- you, Athena."

[palabradot]

Oh good, it WAS. :)

[koschei]

Love the expression on Namor's face, like he's only there as a religious obligation to one of the Atlantean pantheon.
