“Incredible Hercules” #136, written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente with pencils by Reilly Brown, has garnered a slew of rave reviews. Just a few excerpts:
Paradox Comics Group:

Here [Pak and Van Lente] display that knowledge perfectly with an outstanding and gut-bustingly funny fight which employs a manner of playground tactics to get the guffaws a-bellowing from your lungs while dissecting just what makes Herc the legend that he is. Reilly Brown’s talent as an artist really ups the comedic edge and the range of facial expressions that he can produce is particularly noteworthy. Great work from everyone involved.

Chris’s Invincible Super Blog:

I’m just going to put this out there: Incredible Herc is the single best comic on the stands today.

Weekly Comic Book Review:

The battle royal between Herc and Thor is as much a raucous comedy as it is an epic, glorious brawl, and you’ll find it hard not to chuckle as each champion resorts to a string of dirty tricks to best the other. The best part is that you can still pick up this issue without having read the previous ones and still follow along just fine, and in my opinion that is one of the hallmarks of some great storytelling. I would of course be remiss if I didn’t compliment Brown and the art team for brilliant rendering this tale of balderdash and bravura, as their efforts made every page a pleasure to take in and enjoy.

Newsarama:

Best sound effects in human history. I will not do them the disservice of reprinting them in text. Rest assured that this is wholly and completely true.

Comics Should BE Good:

What a wonderful comic. Come on – a purple nurple!!!!! Who doesn’t love that?

The Buy Pile:

Why did this work better than your average fight comic? Well, first of all is the very, very slick characterization and plot work done around the newly prepubescent Zeus, who gets quite a nice turn at the end. Second is the sly humor of it all, from some “down and dirty” fight moves to the beer-swilling mutterings of Hogun and Volstagg to some of the funniest onomatopoeia ever used in sound effects (“WHATAMANNNN,” “SUKKKAPUNCH,” “NURP” and “GODDATHUNDAAA”). Great stuff from Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente on story and the art team of Reilly Brown, Nelson DeCastro, Guillem Mari, Ulises Areola and Sotocolor’s A. Street.

“Incredible Hercules” #134, written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente with pencils by Reilly Brown, continues to garner rave reviews from all corners. Just a few excerpts:
The Buy Pile:

A fun book with great art (thanks to Reilly Brown, Nelson DeCastro and Guillem Mari) a witty script by Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak and a twist at the end that’s just about perfect, making the next issue… a must-see. Great fun.

Comics Should Be Good:

This issue is pure pleasure. The recap page mocks Oliver Coipel’s version of Thor, which is hilarious (“thipples”?), and from there, we just page after page of sheer insane delight. From Hercules believing that sunlight turns trolls to stone because he saw a documentary about The Hobbit to Alflyse’s dramatic entrance, from the Acme anvil that lands on Herc to his knowledge of Star Trek pop culture (and the elf’s rejoinder), and finally the ending, with the Warriors Three playing their ace in the hole, this is a wonderful comic.

Newsarama:

Hercules’ gregarious nature is what carries this book, as he rises to the challenge of impersonating the Norse God of Thunder: when the beautiful Dark Elf Queen Alfyse challenges the ruse, saying that his distinctive demeanor and intact hammer are suspicious, Herc simply grins. “Of course. I am Thor,” he says. “And I assure you, my…hammer works just fine.” Never change, Hercules. It’s this sort of humor that reigns for the rest of the issue, culminating in a brilliant final page.

IGN:

This is definitely one of the more humorous issues of the series to come along in a while. Heck, the last page still has me chuckling.

Here’s the blurb:

Incredible Hercules #134 (One of the funniest (and most fun) comics I’ve read all year, Herc in Asgard is turning out to be one of the best stories this very good book has seen)
