Hercules! Hero of song and story! Hercules: Fall of an Avenger

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers! I picked up Hercules: Fall of an Avenger and it is a fitting tribute to the Prince of Power. Funny, dopey and sweet like Herc himself. Here a few scans I know S_D is going to love! Let's just say that Snowbird isn't the only member of Alpha Flight with fond memories of the Herc-Machine. Enjoy!

At Herc's "Hercules was awesome" party everyone is drinking and swaping tales about him. But who has the most to say about the Mighty Hercules? That's right, the ladies. Namora warns her cousin to "cover his delicate ears".








Love Thor's "Yeah, that's my boy!" look on his face!

In the second tale, Athena tells Venus to settle Hercules' estate. It turns out he wasn't a bum. He just bought thing, businesses and places and then forgot about them! Namora tags along as they investigate the "Happy Day Toy Store".



Ha!

Also Venus informs women around the world that Herc has passed. :(




Awwww. This two-shot is shaping up to a more then fitting tribute to Hercules!

What's Green Arrow doing there?

It amuses me to no end that Hercules had all these things but forgot about them and yet it makes very good sense. Even Hercules pointed out he doesn't remember alot of his past.

Totally have to get this.

What's Green Arrow doing there?

After killing Prometheus, he had the Shade take him to a well-written story, just to remind himself what it was like to appear in one.

Sadly, I am not an artist, so I cannot produce fan art of the time Ollie and Herc went out drinking.

But I now believe that somewhere, somehow, it totally happened. And it was freakin' awesome.

You made me laugh very, very hard.

I love how every time a Fandral appearance is posted, someone inevitably makes this comment.

Even more ironic since Fandral was working the goatee and moustache first.

I love that Fandral's face goes from "O my innocent ears!" to "so THAT'S how you use one.."
