Marvel's mythic strongman trades Olympus for rain-slicked city streets in this 2011 series launch from writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. Carlo Pagulayan's cover captures Hercules in a gritty urban alley, crouching low with a gleaming blade in one hand and an ornately decorated shield in the other, surrounded by shadowy figures closing in from every angle — "Armed. Dangerous. Incredible." indeed. It's a gripping image that makes the promise of "Gods of Brooklyn" feel both visceral and immediate.
