Hercules Returns!


We're still reluctant to spoil the events of Chaos War, so we'll keep this relatively spoiler-free and brief. However! Hercules did survive the event, and it's been announced that he'll be rewarded with a new ongoing series, 'Herc', co-written as ever by Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak. And although he's getting a new series, there is no guarantee that any of his former co-stars will appear in it anytime soon. The first arc seems to be a tie-in to Fear Itself (as the very first issue of Hercule's solo title was a tie-in to World War Hulk) and sees Hercules breaking into his brother Ares' armoury in order to fight off... well, whatever it is that Greek Gods fight. Monsters, we presume.

The series will be pencilled by Neil Edwards, and as a result you can expect the comic to be released twice a month, starting this April.
