Tpull's Weekly Marvel Comics Review – Part 2 Film Fodder

13.06.10

Vali Halfling was disguised as one of his own goons from last difficulty, and he capitalizes on that to take Athena hostage. He wants to be a deity himself, and is trying to obtain all the ingredients he will need to reach that end. Meanwhile, Cho has let himself be distracted into an real battle with Thor! His weapon, his shield, and his advanced knowledge allow him to hold his own for a while, but it serves to put in mind of us that for all his intelligence, Cho is still a kid, and his immaturity provides a good reason to romp around in the old clich� of heroes fighting each other before they collaborate up.

This series is doing a good job of keeping the memory of Hercules alive, and still fitting in small doses of humor. It�s diet different humor without Hercules himself being present, but Reilly Brown has been part of the team long enough to se his art to complement the commotion to add to the humorous intent. The series still carries the tone that it�s not too serious, but the plot does still have serious consequences if the bad guys win. It�s faultless to have this series as a counter-point to the plethora of too-serious books out there.
