The Incredible Hercules

review 1: Picked this up at Half-Price Books after a friend said I should check out World War Hulk. I found the book wanting. Much of the art is great, but the story does not flow as story lines from other Marvel comic books are flowing in an out with little explanation as to what is happening. I also find the "smartest kid in the world" gets old fast. He's a character who wants to help the Hulk, and he can do anything. Hack computer and steal billions, check. Throw a pebble and knock down a missile, well he's smart so must have perfect aim, check. It's lazy story-telling when being smart is treated as though it is a magical power.
review 2: I got this after hearing many good things about the Incredible Hercules ongoing series and it's here that Herc and Amadeus C... moreho (7th smartest person on the planet) meet and team up so it seemed a good place to start.I don't read Hulk but I know the background to the whole Planet Hulk, World War Hulk storyline which made this slightly more accessible. There is a recap near the beginning but it could be quite a confusing jumping on point. Still, the characters are well written and the action is impressive even if there is a lot of behind the scenes action taking place within the story (presumably told in the WWH collection).Generally I liked it and as a place to start it's got me interested to see where Herc and Cho end up so I think I'll keep reading. less
