About the series
In 2010, Marvel launched this four-issue miniseries, written by Bob Layton with art by Ron Lim, that reimagines the end of the Olympian age through the eyes of Hercules. As the god of strength confronts a dying universe and the cosmic entities Galactus and Galan, he is joined by the peculiar alien Arimathes Sweetwater, the recorder Skyppi, and Recorder 417. This story matters for its ambitious, character-driven take on mythic apocalypse, blending Marvel’s cosmic mythology with a poignant meditation on legacy and sacrifice.
