Hercules: The Legendary Journeys #2
In "The Trial of Hercules Part 2," the hero faces judgment for freeing Prometheus, with the fate of his actions hanging in the balance. As the verdict looms, Salmoneus arrives to create a distraction, allowing Atalanta to intervene and free Prometheus—whose testimony may unravel a secret Ares has long tried to hide from Zeus. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by Jeff Butler’s art, Steve Montano’s inks, and Digital Chameleon’s colors, this issue builds tension with a courtroom drama rooted in myth and deception, all wrapped in Michael Golden’s striking cover.
