Hercules
and the God Squad vs. The Skrulls!
Preview art from Incredible Hulk #117...
The
best fallout from World War Hulk has unexpectedly been Hercules
taking over Hulk's title for a while. Expanding on the seeds
he planted with Amadeus Cho, writer Greg Pak just keeps
on questioning reality for the Lion of Olympus.
Of
course, that dovetails nicely when the Marvel Universe also
has to question reality -- who's who when you're being invaded
by shape-shifting aliens? Hercules had to ask himself a
similar question when facing the Eternals, who want to convince
him that he's not Hercules at all, but a lost member of
their race.
All
of it, though, was to ratchet things up for this entry --
and I'm going to bet it's the best tie-in this event will
see...
From
Marvel:
With Secret Invasion in full swing, Hercules’ sister
Athena has banded together a sacred group of deities to
face the imminent Skrull threat! Incredible Hercules #117,
a tie-in to the red-hot Secret Invasion event, gives you
a front row seat to a battle of divine proportions. In this
issue, the critically acclaimed writing team of Greg Pak
and Fred Van Lente unveil the premiere appearance of the
all new GOD SQUAD, including fan-favorite Snowbird! With
pencils from the rising star Rafa Sandoval and a stunning
cover by John Romita Jr., Klaus Janson and Dean White, this
issue is sure to make your eyes pop.
Brian
Joel of IGN states that “Herc is one of the most consistently
enjoyable and well-done books on the stands today.”
Marvel
urges retailers to check their orders on Incredible Hercules
and all other Secret Invasion tie-ins as they continue to
sell out at Diamond and as fans continue to ask “Who
do you trust?”
Can
the GOD SQUAD protect the Marvel Universe from the “Sacred
Invasion”? How will the master tactician, Amadeus
Cho, fit into this epic equation? And is one of them a Skrull?!
Find out the answers to these questions and more in the
action-packed Incredible Hercules #117!
