Herctacular!

[auggie18]

Just a quick look at some of the amazingness that is Marvel's version of the mythological strongman, HERCULES!



Hitting the Thing in his rocks? Dang, Herc.


During Slott's run on She-Hulk, Herc got sued for assault by D-list super villain the Constrictor. He...did not do a good job defending himself.




The big guy's a hit with the ladies too! When they aren't hitting him.











His "jailbait" being Amadeus Cho.


*cough*







The general idea being everybody loves Herc.



Ha, awesome. I have to post more from the Hercules/Power Pack backup sometime.



You shut up, Gravity. You shut the hell up.

I miss Hercules.
And Agent of Atlas.

What where they thinking with Herc?

[akodo_rokku]

I enjoyed Herc! But unsurprisingly it sold like crap.

[akodo_rokku]

And remember, "Herc" gave us the Amazing Spider-Herc!

I love that Firestar is peaking. It makes the pannel.

I miss Hercules. And Agents of Atlas too. It did lose steam on the second/third relaunch, sadly, but the initial mini and series were great.

I'm sure you mean peeking...but i'm not entirely sure.

[majingojira]

Damn You, Homophones!!!

[wake_the_dragon]

There's just something so right about Hercules being part of a kid's tea party.

[slippy]

This is one of those things where the most suitable description is just "Ridiculous. ...-ly awesome!" Oh Herc.

[shadur]

I seem to have misplaced my "Hercules APPROVES" icon. Can someone help a fellow s_d'er out?

[pteppic]

The MIB reference, followed by "Netflix"?

Priceless.

[razsolo]

OMG Herc and Katie = I DIE.

On another note, I wouldn't wanna be the poor sucker that ever manages to actually hurt Katie Power....Wolvie, half the other old-school X-Men, Cloak&Dagger, the Punisher...girl has some scary friends!

[bruinsfan]

Dude, Franklin Richards used to hang out with her when he was a little kid.

[razsolo]

Ha! Yes! Is there any superhero team in the MU with better connections than Power Pack?

One of the things I liked about Lightspeed being in Avengers Academy was when she disarmed Jeremy Briggs' missiles in mid-air like it was no big thing...those four have been superheroes literally since childhood, I am always very happy when Alex and Julie are shown to be quite experienced....now we just need Jack and Katie to re-enter the MU in some capacity :)

[lieut_kettch]

Aww... you missed the "Jean-Paul hastily ducking out of Herc's funeral when his lovers were mentioned" moment!

Also-- my first thought upon seeing drunk (roofied?) Herc being carried by those giant women: "Death by Snu-snu."

[ensiform]

Truly a fine collection. When I first read that "I Smote the Constrictor" song in TPB form I was literally laughing out loud and falling out of my chair.

Herc singing along to the damning evidence during his own trial is just so perfect.

[wizardru]

Oh, Herc. Thanks for reminding everybody that comic books can still be FUN.

I mean, Damn, bro.

[cainofdreaming]

Oh, Herc. He just doesn't do pants, does he? Like the time he taught the Avengers Academy kids sports, Grecian style.

[shadowpsykie]

can we get Herc back please?

[silverzeo]

What? No pictures of WonderWoman reenacting the fall of Rome with Herc as Rome?

[lorriek]

I love Hercules. Why exactly isn't he being hilarious in a series right now?

[nefrekeptah]

If you like Herc, then I may recommend Valiant's relaunch of Archer and Armstrong.

It's got the same "super competent kid teams with powerful hard-drinking immortal" vibe that made the first series click so well - hell, if anything, "Incredible Hercules" took most of it's cues from the first "A&A" series, which is why it isn't much of a surprise that the co-writer from Herc is now writing Archer and Armstrong.

And even if you didn't read Incredible Hercules? Read Archer and Armstrong anyway, it's awesome.
