REVIEW: The Incredible Hercules - 118





Firstly, if you've read my last Incredible Hercules review, you'll already know that I'm pretty impressed with how the series has been going so far. But how does issue 118 shape up?

***SPOILER ALERT***

Pretty damn bloody well, that's how!

Happily, Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente don't show any signs of letting their excellent storytelling up, ensuring that issue 118 delivers some of their best scriptwork to date. Rafa Sandoval once again pencils the issue beautifully showcasing some truly amazing twists and turns as Herc's rag tag team travel through the dreamland, encountering a pretty crafty Nightmare...

Now, you might have noticed that this review is a little bit short. And, to be honest, there's a reason for that. This book has a truly fantastic Secret Invasion moment in it - a true surprise that is genuinely brilliant. And if I made this review any bigger... Well, I'd be tempted to let you know what it is.

Take my word for it - pick this book up.

Pete's Score: 4 out of 5
(a brilliant continuation of the Sacred Invasion, with a truly killer twist)
