The Assault On New Olympus is underway and Incredible Hercules #139 has plenty of action through the whole issue. There are plenty of great match-ups like Spider-Man vs. Arachne, Wolverine vs. Cephalus, and Pym vs. Argus. The issue starts off with everyone talking about Continuum before quickly jumping into the action. What is Continuum? Well, you will find out in this issue.
Story: Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente did a wonderful job writing this issue. An interesting part of the story was when Amadeus Cho came face to face with Delphyne, but was emotionally torn because they were fighting on opposing sides of the battle. It’ll be interesting to see how this relationship plays out in future issues.
Art: No complaints in this department. I feel the art had just the right amount of grit to depict the fierceness of battle, and the heroes and villains taking part in those battles. Rodney Buchemi and Reilly Brown did a great job capturing emotion and it really shines through when Amadeus Cho tells Delphyne that he loves her. The emotion on her face is perfect. Keep up the great work guys.
Overall: This a buy. Incredible Hercules is a series that’s been having a good track record, but still doesn’t get a lot of love for some reason. It has good story, good art, and a lot of your favorite Marvel heroes. What more could you ask for?
