Hercules Prince of Power 2 Review


Hercules Prince of Power Issue 2 is the next comic book right in the Really Big Comic Book Box of Doom to be pulled out for a random review. In this issue, the Prince of Power, is caught up intrigue, when a woman that he rescued does not want to be returned to a twisted arranged marriage relationship.

Hercules Prince of Power Volume 1 Issue 2 Review

Hercules Prince of Power Volume 1 Issue 2 was released by Marvel Comics with a cover date of October 1982, part of a limited series with the title of "For the Love of the Gods". Bob Layton wrote, pencilled, and inked this issue, with Luke McDowell also on pencils, Rick Parker on letters, and Christie Scheele on coloring.

Hercules the Prince of Power, while not one of the top line characters that I enjoy right for Marvel Comics, he never has a dull moment. Just like in this issue, where the Prince of Power was balanced well and it was a rather easy read, but perhaps not the best, most engaging read right out there from this comic book company.

Hercules, is a fierce character, based obviously of the mythological figure of the same name. He is straight forward and ready to fight, a man of his word and a man of principal right out there. I thought that throughout this issue, he was rather strong, despite all of the injustice, standing beside his charge, even if the odds were one of the characters.

I did a double take of one of the characters in this issue, because he bared a passing resemblance to DC Comics villain, Darkseid. Granted, it is not him, and it doesn't look too much like him passed the first casual glance. The characters seemed rather fair, the action was solid.

Overall, I did get a fair amount of enjoyment out of this issue, which is really all you should expect when you read a character that might be out of your usual comfort zone. Hercules Prince of Power Issue 2 was at the very least a solid issue and effort from Marvel Comic Books.
