Incredible Hercules: Love and War

In this 2009 one-shot from Marvel, writer Bob Layton pits the Prince of Power against the God of War in a single-issue clash of Olympian proportions. Layton, a defining voice for Hercules during his most popular era, both writes and illustrates this standalone tale exploring the line between love and conflict. It's a compact, passionate character piece that distills the godly drama of the Incredible Hercules saga into a focused, battle-driven narrative.
