"Incredible Hercules" #115, the climactic end of the first story arc featuring the Greek god and boy genius Amadeus Cho and written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, has nabbed a slew of rave reviews from ComicsBulletin.com, ComicsNewsI.com, PopCultureShock.com, and Newsarama.com. Here's an excerpt from the Newsarama review:
If it were just big, action-packed, melodramatic, funny fun The Incredible Hercules would still be well worth a reader's time, but co-writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente don't just stop there. This concludes the opening story arc of the Herc-hijacked book, and it does an incisive, even touching job of defining the characters of Hercules and Amadeus Cho. That it happens to also be a blast to read is just a bonus. This has very quickly become my favorite Marvel comic."Incredible Hercules" #115 hit stores on March 26. Tell your retailer to hold a copy for you today -- and preorder next month's "Incredible Hercules" #116!
Rick Remender takes over writing duties of the "All-New Atom" beginning with issue #21, which hits comic book stores on March 5. The book still stars Ryan Choi as the title character -- check out the five page preview at Newsarama for more.
