Incredible Hercules #114
In the wake of WORLD WAR HULK, the Mighty Avengers are hot on the heels of unrepentant renegades Hercules and Amadeus Cho. Driven into a mindless berserker rage by Ares, Herc has become the critical piece of Cho's plan to utterly destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. What is Cho's master plan to wipe out the spy agency...and is he willing to get Herc killed to do it? Guest-starring the Champions of Los Angeles! Yes, seriously.

Gotta agree with you, Neb.
I love the crisp look of the art, and contrary to a lot of spin-off books from the past couple of years, it seems like it's all about fun.
Yeah, this has been a surprisingly fun book! I was a bit burned out by the end of World War Hulk, but thankfully this is going off on its own great little tangent. As someone that had never even heard of this character before Civil War, I'm way into this book, not to mention Khoi Pham's art. Looking forward to him stepping up to Mighty Avengers for sure.

Still hate Amadeus Cho.
Verdict: Read it in the store.

For me, this is the best book Marvel is putting out, an action driven series with great character work, themes, and mythology worked in.
And for some reason seeing Cho compared to Iolaus and in my mind put in his place of a supporting character made me enjoy the character

"Surprise" is right. I don't even remember _what_ compelled me to buy the first issue of Incredible Herc, but when I did, I absolutely adored it!

I can't believe more people (esp. Marvel loyalist) aren't buying this book. IT ROCKS!!!!!

Not many people here seem to be reading it, but it was in the top 20 on the Diamond list for January, so thats a good sign.
I love this book.

A really fun surprise. A great mix of mythology with Marvel "fights in tights" action. An excellent example of what the right creative team can do with a lower tiered character.
