Marvel Comics announces 'Herc'
Published Thursday, Jan 27 2011, 08:14 GMT | By Mark Langshaw
Marvel Comics has announced a new ongoing series starring the Olympian hero Hercules.
Written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente with artwork by Neil Edwards, Herc sees the legendary warrior wage war on New York's criminal underworld.
"This ain't the heavenly spires of Mount Olympus, the plush comforts of Avengers Tower or some hot night club known where the body shots are on the house. Herc's in the dark alleys of the Marvel Universe - the mean streets of New York," said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia.
"There's no-one to watch his back and, if he doesn't play it smart, he can be maimed… or even killed. The easy days of life as a god are over."
Featuring covers by Carlo Pagulayan, Herc #1 and #2 arrive in stores on April 6 and April 20 respectively.
