  1. Careful there, Herc.
    After all, you know what they say: once you go green…
    (anyone want to take it from here?)

  6. Question: Is Hercules “the one” for Shulkie? Will she ever find the right man for her or is she just a confirmed bachelorette?
    And, should she find the right guy, will she make a deal with Mephisto to (oh, let’s not go there.)

  7. Talk about a Herculean effort….
    (Hey, it was either that or saying this is one of his more pleasant tasks.)

  16. Well, based on the scales on her side, and the unobstructed way her leg has nestled into his crotch, Shulky must be Skrullky, and Herc must be gay.

  18. So I guess Jen now knows why the call him the Incredible Hercules.
    Sorry, couldn’t resist.

  19. Boy, ya never saw covers like this on Bruce’s book!
    But I guess he and Herc weren’t so inclined.
    Honestly, I wish the T&A factor wasn’t such a big part of selling the book but the fan-boy audience is what it is. I’m consoled by the fact that there’s a lot more going on inside the book than a casual observer would guess from its cover.

  24. Ron: I’m not so sure that’s the cover.
    Luigi Novi: According to the file name of the image, it’s Page 1.

  25. Luigi, according to the Marvel Previews solicit for that issue, the art is by Val Semeiks.
    Also, that image seems to answer the question posed by that solicit:
    “From the pages of INCREDIBLE HERCULES, comes . . . yeah, you guessed it, Hercules! The Lion of Olympus, still wanted for crimes against S.H.I.E.L.D., collides with our bounty-hunting She-Hulk. The question is, given these two combustible characters’ current mindset and situation with the law, will they meet as longtime friends. . .or bitter foes?”
    Looks to me like “longtime friends….with benefits”.

    Well, She Hulk just isn’t that great a character and needs the T&A. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that Peter has more things going on in that comic than meets the eye. 🙂
    IMHO Female characters that get their mantles from male characters aren’t very good. The best female characters are the ones that are unique.
    Wonder Women,Invisible Women, Mary Jane, Storm, Rogue,Songbird and Moonstone etc. Think about it, when was the last time a male Marvel character took up a female characters mantle? Why is the female character always weaker than the character they are based on?

  33. John Judy: “She-Hulk: Come for the cover. Stay for the story!”
    Is that legal in this state?

  34. Moonstone got her powers by taking them from a male villain.
    Songbird’s powers are partially derived from the abilities of the supervillain Klaw.
    Therefore, they are both derived from male characters. They’re also both far superior characters to their male counterparts.

  36. I was considering dropping this book, but I think I’ll at least get iot up to this issue and see what happens. I really like Hercules (so much cooler than Thor) and Jen actually seems HAPPY in this picture (getting so tired of “Angry Jen”, don’t care how in-character it is right now).

  39. I don’t want to be a wet blanket here (oooh, that’s nasty!) but having She-Hulk bed every hero she comes in contact with doesn’t help he story development. It just seems that something like this was better left for Penthouse comics.
    It’s hard to take her seriously as a hero.
    Besides what’s the big deal about being laid by a green amazon…. hold on… I need a moment with that thought…:)

  40. You know, I’m really disappointed with the group here. I dropped a challenge in the first post of the thread, and nobody has picked up the gauntlet yet. 🙂
    It can’t be THAT bad, can it?

  41. Looks like Jen has just received The Gift.
    (There’s a callback hardly anyone will get…)

    Any character based on another, male or female, is usually weaker than the original. Superboy was weaker than Superman, Kid Flash was weaker than the Flash, etc.
    And the reason there are so few male characters taking up a female character mantle is because most of the old-school heroes were male, and none had there own solo title (except for Wonder Woman).

  44. Hmmm … well, Jen’s been pining over Herc since the late-80s Avengers books, where every thought bubble seemed to be filled with some sort of innuendo toward Zeus’ favorite bášŧárd son, so … dámņ.

  45. I got “the gift” reference, but if Hercules gave her “the gift”, that would mean they’d be beating the crap out of each other. Which granted, could very likely lead to the featured scene. Kind of a David-Maddie thing, except with super-strength.

  46. Maybe it will Make Herc interesting. Not sure. I know I wound up dropping the Incredible Hulk when it turned into the Incredible Herc.
    As said above its not out of character.
    Though I am sure it will be interesting. (I DO have faith in you PAD)

    Geez, doesn’t the guy take off the boots, bracelets or headgear for anything?
    Hey – one boot…
    Remember the “Buffy” episode tease that opoens on a scene of incredible destruction, entire room wrecked, obviously the after math of a terrific fight…
    Pans slowly, revealing occasional items of clothing among the wreckage…
    Finally comes to Buffy and Spike, naked with the carpet pulled over them …
    “Maybe next time we’ll actually get as far as the bed…”
