Hercules casually owning Kang while losing a century of his lifetime was awesome to read.

That`s my lion.

That`s my lion.

I loved that. Hercules as the last Avenger because Kang couldn't separate fact from myth and kill him as a baby was great.

Thor #418
Hercules has a dream about when the Wrecking Crew beat him so badly almost to near death.
After his near death he became afraid of the WC, as with each blow they inflicted on him crushed bones and tore his flesh.
Later in this issue the WC ambush Hercules and once again nearly kill him before Thor arrives and in turn they nearly kill Thor.

Loved the recent nod to Hercules facing Godzilla in monsters unleashed.

"I`ve faced bigger!"

Bam!

Which Hercules do you all prefer in terms of conduct, portrayal, concept, etc?

-Goofy, loud, boisterous, drunk, brawler:

or

-focused, "serious," sober, warrior:

[Moriarty]

honestly, i don't have a preference.

[McFarlane's Green Hulk]

I love boisterous, loud, clumsy-but-good-hearted Herc.

I'd rather have a more balanced mix of both. I like Herc a bit more light-hearted and boisterous, however, I don't find credible that a warrior with over 3.000 years of experience would be goofy or clumsy, and only intrested in partying and in granting "The Gift". Hercules should be the warrior supreme.

Better costume?
