HERCULES Makes his All-New Return at Marvel

He’s been called many things, gone by many names, accomplished many heroic deeds. But now, it’s time for a new beginning. This November, the world’s first super hero is back in the game in HERCULES #1! Fan-favorite writer Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians 3000) and artist Luke Ross (Hulk, Secret Avengers) blast out of the gate with an explosive first issue that’ll show the world why he set the bar for heroism in the first place!

Protect the innocent, defend the world, save the day. Olympus’s favorite son is back like you’ve never seen him before! An ancient warrior in the modern day, Hercules battles everything from street-level crime to cosmic scale threats. Whether it’s protecting his block, his city or the entire world – no labor is too big or too small for the mighty Hercules! But a new evil has awoken – one that will push the demi-god to the limit and test his mighty resolve. The world’s first super hero is back in the fight, but will his new lease on life be short lived?

“Hercules is fun, brash and one of Marvel’s more interesting characters because of his connections to both the Avengers as well as ancient Greek mythology,” says series Editor Katie Kubert. “A hero of all eras, he’s trying to reestablish what being a hero means today, and what better place to attempt to do that than NYC with his buddy Gilgamesh at his side? “

Witness the Marvel Universe through the eyes of one of its most powerful warriors, and the heart of a true champion. Ancient hero meets modern day this November in the bombastic debut of HERCULES #1!

On Sale in November!

Nice!

cool, since I've started reading comics, any time Hercules shows up he's always a total fool and treated like a joke. So it'd be nice to finally be introduced to the more serious side of the character...here's hoping.

Not real keen on the modern militarized look, but the creative team looks solid.

THESE ARE TEARS OF JOY!

Wow this looks great I love the new costume.Though I doubt it will be as good as Greg paks run but I'm sure it'll be good

OH THANK THE GODS OF OLYMPUS!!! I'm happy about this news.

We're's poweherc I'm sure he'll love this news.

POUCHES!

Have we learned nothing from the 90s, people?

Fucking Finally! I mean Marvel is gonna kill our favorite Green Giant to bring a new one. Ultimate Universe? No news about it yet. Thor? is supposed to be dead and the same goes with Hyperion. Ultimate Thor? Literally nowhere to be found. Ultimate Hulk in the run trying to escape (hope he is the new Hulk). Iron Man? nothing yet. I mean I can accept some losses but they have been killing m favorites characters. I mean why would they remplace them they do a excellent job, you can bring new ones but why kill the OGs?

god I hope this wont suck

I'm sorry, but this needs to done in light of this great news:

Nice

Awesome. I am just as excited about the return of Gilgamesh.

Though an evil that will taste his resolve despite having Gilgamesh by his side ? That would require some truly cosmic villian.

Extremely looking forward to it.

Nice. I'll give this a go.

Cool

Well,at least I have something to read while s*its on my favorite character.

Nice. Also his updated look is nice. Wonder how long it will take before Marvel screws it up like most of All-New.

@thatguywithheadphones: Huh?

Beata

So how long til he's a girl?

Thank god, this book looks like it's actually gonna take it's main character seriously.

I'll definitely give it a try!

Yesss!!! Finally the lovable Lion of Olympus is Back in the scene!

I feel like he may show up in secret wars and be useful in the battle

I see a Thor(jane foster)/Hercules or Ultimate Thor/Hercules team up happening!

Awe man, no more mini skirt :D

@scouterv: Nah I had which of marvel turning their male to female, they are trying to have equality in gender. Why not turning females to male? They are Sexist

Finnaly the Herc has come back

@powerherc

does he has his strength back? haven't read since he took over hulk's book way back during wwh

@mrdevil: Hyperion in the Squadron Supreme ongoing

i will be checking it out

shut up don't give them ideas

@Powerherc: it happening mate the prince is back :D

why would we need Superman if Hulk, Thor, Ultimates has many more better characters. Marvel is seriously desperate for a new change they have ruined his best characters. And also I'm pretty sure is not the same dude.

Liefeld called. He wants his pouches back.

NICE! Can't wait for this!

Does he have his powers back or is he still depowered?

This is gonna be great.

no

Marvel please bring back Ares as well.

Nice! I am feeling this look for Herc. A little ancient warrior, with a bit of the modern but still 100% Hercules.

Awesome, his appearances in the 2099 Secret Wars title really made me hope that Herc would get some more attention.

Awesome. You didn't have to put "all-new" in the title though. That just makes it seem like it'll be bad.

@edblank: yes we've learned:

WE NEED MORE!!!

Hercules commands it!!

It is 100% the same dude

Actually yes

Always liked Herc

~MiB

I hope they explore his bisexuality -- I want to seem him mess around with some dudes.

YES!! THE PRINCE OF POWER RETURNS!!!! XD

What? Disney owns Marvel, perfectly legit song now! 0_0

But anyway. Out of the THOUSANDS of reinterpretations, adaptations, and portrayals, both in and OUT of comics, Hercules continues to be a character worth revisiting again and again and Marvel's Hercules is by far one of, if not THE, best adaptations of the Lion of Olympus.
