Comic of the Week: Assault on New Olympus #1

I realized I haven’t written anything in the last four days, so even though I’m half asleep and my brain’s fried to shit, I’ll try to come up with something decent.

Before I start talking about the issue for this week, I’d like to point out that Hercules has become one of my favorite characters. And I mean he’s up there with Iron Fist, Green Arrow, and Daredevil. The dude’s powerset is generic, yes, but it makes him all that more endearing to me. I’ll talk a little bit more of how frickin’ cool Herc is a little later because a lot of that becomes very evident in Assault on New Olympus #1.
