I far preferred "NOGGN" when two heads were banged together in that arc, and the bit in the same issue where Atlas' fist interrupts Herc's marriage proposal to Namora with 'BRAKITUP'.
I'm hoping Herc will bring up (in his upcoming arc) the fact that he and Thor have in some ways swapped their classical personalities - Herc becoming the loveable jerkass who smashes things, enjoys life and is very funny, and Thor the noble warrior who often gets insanely angry when honour is at stake.
I always assumed he just learned English for the first time in the Shakesperean era and liked it, so kept the accent for fun. The fact he's two thousand years older than Shakespeare is fairly irrelevant if he didn't speak the language until the 16th century.
Sort of like the immortal bad guy Culp in Starman, who spoke English with a Cockney accent, which meant he was looked down on in society, so when he learned French, ensured he learned how to speak it like a refined gentleman.
The very first page of this comic is a background matchup, like you see on boxing matches on the Herc vs Herc battle here, and they used the "thumbs-up" Herc that we know so well here as his portrait. I fell out of my chair laughing.
