The Latest: Hercules, Prince of Power!
I’ve had a backlog of commissions on my list for awhile now- if you haven’t heard from me, check back in, make sure yours didn’t get lost in the shuffle. In the meantime, here’s a few to share!
I can’t lie: I’ve ALWAYS loved Marvel’s Hercules. In fact, as a kid I was really disheartened that the other renditions of Herc weren’t as interesting as the big M’s version- from the horrible, cheeseball, translated-poorly films to the Kevin Sorbo television series (which was alright, but not MY Hercules, y’know?) and even the styled, good-but-not-brilliant Disney movie, none of them captured the character like Marvel.
Loud, a braggart, often getting into classic Marvel scrapes for any number of misunderstandings (though mostly due to pride, booze, or wenches)… Hercules is awesome. He’s not the man I want to be when I have to grow up, but he’s a guy I’d love to sit back and knock back a drink with. A man’s man, and one that’s hard to find these days. Not MY template for heroism, but certainly one I’d hate to see go away forever.
Bring on another round and spin us a tale, Herc! What what that about the Hydra again? On the moon? With a hatchet?
Wow.
