Based on the image Marvel has released for Incredible Hercules #132, it’s looking like the mythic muscleman has a little bit of hammer envy going on…
That’s right: Hercules is the new Thor. (Hammer time!*) Now discuss.
*And yeah, with the goofball trio of Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, and Rafael Albuquerque on board, I don’t think I’ll be able to read this series without this song in my head. And that is the greatest compliment I can give.
**And yeah, I do know that is the Golden Mace, which is apparently the metal that scientists tried to base adamantium on. Yep, it’s that strong.

Ooooh… if only my budget allowed for more comics.

I don’t know what I’m more surprised by – Herc in Thor’s armor, or his swinging the Golden Mace (which has been absent for a long time)! Sigh – if only I had more $ for comics…

Herc IS the Marvel Universe! Look for Amazing Herc, Uncanny Herc, Fantastic Herc, Guardians of Herc, She-Herc, Hercurine, Runaway with Herc, Hooded Herc, Dark Herc, and Cup of Herc at a store near you!

Unless something has changed, Rafael Albuquerque is only doing the cover. Reilly Brown is on art.
