About the series
In 2005, Marvel reimagined the legendary strongman in a five-issue miniseries written by Frank Tieri and illustrated by Mark Texeira. This gritty, modern take pits Hercules against a rogue’s gallery of classic foes—including Hera and the river god Achelous—as he navigates a world where myth collides with the Marvel Universe. A surprise team-up with Captain America and a confrontation with Harvey Elder (the Mole Man) ground the Olympian’s epic struggles in the streets of Marvel’s Earth. For fans of action-heavy, character-driven storytelling, this series offers a muscular, grounded reinvention of a timeless hero.
