Chaos War #1
In "The End Is Nigh," the Marvel Universe trembles as the Chaos King strikes down Nightmare, setting off a chain reaction that awakens a vengeful Hercules. Written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, with dynamic art by Khoi Pham and Tom Palmer, this pivotal issue sees the mighty hero return stronger than ever—refusing the Council of Godheads’ control and empowering his allies to face the coming storm. The cover by Ed McGuinness captures the epic scale of the uprising, making this a must-read for fans of cosmic Marvel drama.
In "The End Is Nigh," Hercules—resurrected and burning with fury—returns to Earth after being taken by the Council of Godheads, refusing to submit to their authority. With his power now shared among his allies, he rallies the heroes to stand against the looming threat of the Chaos King, whose influence shakes the very fabric of the Marvel Universe.
In "I Was Legend," Hercules awakens on a twisted duplicate Earth, haunted by monsters forged by Hera after his apparent demise. Though he briefly sees a vision of Amadeus Cho, he soon understands he must find a way out alone—no savior, no answers, just the weight of survival.
