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?

Written by Fred Van Lente & Greg Pak, the story mainly occurs in the past, particularly around a Dungeons & Dragons type game that Amadeus Cho is playing with Master Mind, and although this makes the story a little hard to understand, the comic is still an overall excellent read with a very strong plot.

Story: The story in this issue of Incredible Hercules is a little confusing at first, but compensates by being one of the most interesting and relevant plot lines in a comic book. One of the surprising elements to the story in the comic book is the amount of humor in it. Throughout the story there is a lot of inside jokes, particularly in relation to RPG games, and this makes the story of little more enjoyable to read and provides a nice break from the action when needed.

Art: Rodney Buchemi, the artist behind this issue of Incredible Hercules, has an amazing command of both color and tone, which he truly utilizes to its full extent in the creation of this episode. This is especially apparent in the very dark or very light scenes in which the artwork of the book really works to accent the story.

Overall: This episode of Incredible Hercules is extremely well-rounded thanks to its potent story,complex messages, and stunning artwork. All these elements combined make this episode both thrilling and enjoyable and overall, a comic book you need to read.
