If you could tell from my review of last issue of Incredible Herc; or the many comments for it....I hated the last issue. I hate it that this title got shoved into Dark Reign, I hate to see smug Norman Osborn and his useless, shitty Avengers break up the party last issue. I was so prepaired to give this title a thrashing because all it was gonna be was Herc fighting Dark Avengers for the whole issue. Well we did get that in this issue....but surprisingly I didnt hate it. I absolutely loved every page of this story....you know why?
Cause the Dark Avengers got their asses kicked!!!
Yeah that's right, Norman Osborn and his shitty Avengers couldnt handle a bunch of Greek God's and got utterly toast. Now what does that say for Norman and his smug self? What you can handle the Avengers but not a bunch of Greek Myths? Plus what does that say about the Avengers in general where they cant even find a way to confront the team, let alone handle one member of Osborn's 'Cabal'?
From a story perspective everything worked in this issue. From Herc beating the shit out of Sentry, and also kicking him, as the comic suggested, 'where the millions of exploding suns dont shine'; to Pluto raising the undead for the Avengers, to some great origins of myths in this issue. That's what this series has always done well is introduce mythological stories into the story. Here we get the true origin of a Gorgon and I was intrigued to learn more about the mythological beast.
As for the art......well that's what kept me from making this my pick. I didnt have much problems with Smith's pencils last week. Heck he did do a pretty sweet splash page of the Dark Avengers if I may say. But here; man the characters are off model a lot. Hercules is off model, Hera is off model, Cho is off model....the only people they dont seem to be off model is the villains. Which is a shame cause some of the fights in here are pretty sweet to look at; but then you notice how Herc's face is all messed up and it ruins the fun of the issue.
So yes, maybe I am too excited to see a Bendis product get the shit beaten out of them....But that's really the best thing about this series. Just when you think Pak/Lente is going to have to be yet another B-title and force an event or status quo down our throats....they totally make something dull into something much more fun. It's a shame the art isnt up to par as it usually is in this series. But overall this was a fun issue and hopefully....please let this be the end of the cameo of Dark Avengers. Let's tell the original story huh? Like when Hera and Pluto proclaimed Hercules would die...that's more interesting for me.
Art: 3 - Good
