Wizard loves “Incredible Hercules” #119
An excerpt:
Pak and Van Lente keep the plot moving at light speed and pepper the ish with plenty of light-hearted moments, which make the action even splashier when the danger quotient rises. Marvel might want to consider a new adjective for this series; ‘Incredible’ doesn’t quite do Herc justice anymore.

Pak and Van Lente continue to do excellent work here, utilizing Hercules’ mythic past to draw parallels to the current story…. I couldn’t be happier with both the art and the story.
