Wolverine / Hercules: Myths, Monsters & Mutants #[nn]

Wolverine and Hercules share a quiet moment at the Golden Lion, trading stories and reflections on immortality, when Matsuo Tsurayaba’s plans take an unexpected turn. Instead of confronting Wolverine, he finds himself face-to-face with a host of mythological figures—Achelous, a Gorgon, a Cyclops, a Harpy, a Centaur, a Minotaur, and even Cupid—each stepping from legend into the real world with no clear motive.

Wolverine and Hercules face off against the Nemean Lion and a Minotaur, mythic beasts made real—only to discover Matsuo Tsurayaba, backed by Achelous and Eurytheus, is using the Hand’s dark power to resurrect Hercules’ ancient foes. As Medusa enters the battle, her clash with Wolverine ends in a shocking turn, leaving him frozen in stone.

In a mythic clash of gods and warriors, Hercules must bargain with Pluto to restore Wolverine from stone, while the Hand secures a fragile alliance with the duo to fend off Matsuo Tsurayaba and his army of Greek villains. As tensions rise, old grudges flare—especially when Hercules vents his disdain for *Clash of the Titans*, a moment that eerily foreshadows the Kraken’s awakening.

In the final clash of myth and might, Wolverine faces off against the vengeful Matsuo Tsurayaba while Hercules confronts the monstrous Cetus, the Kraken. As the two heroes battle through an army of undead Greeks, even the underworld itself lends a hand—Pluto’s intervention tipping the scale. With the tide turned, Wolverine and Hercules pledge a bond that lasts beyond death. But when the Hand reclaims Matsuo, their victory may be more fragile than it seems.
