I wasn't sure where to put this, but this made the most sense:
Assault On New Olympus Prologue #1
Wow. What a delightful surprise! Did anyone else manage to pick this one up? I actually started my Marvel reading this week with this book and only the Team-Up and Reborn came close to giving me the same amount of satisfaction as this prologue. I read someone that this issue was far too much a prologue but lacked enough juice to jump into the story. But let's see, for once, the $4 price tag is justified.
A, because Spider-Man & Incredible Herc have a sweet, lengthful go-at-it for a while over a lucky lady. B, the sense of humor helped level off what promises to be a pretty important and dark age (Gods taking over!) in the Hercules saga. And, C, the Agents of Atlas back-up tied in so well with the previous mini X-Men vs. AOA and into this mini-event. You've got to love that.
A lot of fans have been pushing this series for some time. I get a lot of books every week. For the first time I feel terribly awful for not having a book on my punch list. Incredible Hercules, welcome aboard. But, fear not, newbies. The first page of this prologue explains everything you need to know heading in. This is undoubtedly going to be the most slept-on excellent event of the 09 Marvel campaign.
