Or – “Last Issue We Saw The Brawn Using His Brain. Will The Brains Have To Use His Brawn?”
Er war Superstar.
Er war populär.
Er war so exaltiert,
Because er hatte Flair.
Er war ein Virtuose,
War ein Rockidol…
Or – “HercuThor Vs. ThorCules… This Oughta Be Good.”
In a way, Hercules and Thor are reminiscent of Stephen and myself. Both equally powerful, in their own ways, equally notorious for different reasons, and one of them possesses much cooler hair. (Tune in next week as we equate Rodrigo with Xerpliphane, Mesopotamian god of war and uncomfortable trousers…)
Or – “Hey, Vent! You Ready To Move Out?”
When you read monthly comic books the way that I do, often times you get to the point where you feel like you know what’s coming, when every title feels like you’ve read it before. On the other hand, you have the odd experience where you read a title or issues that you KNOW you’ve read before, but you cannot for the life of you remember how it’s supposed to end. With over a hundred monthly titles coming out, sometimes you need to play catchup, you need to go where everybody knows your name to the land of the Rapid Fire Revieeeeewwww!

Or – “Most People Don’t Know That His Full Name Is Manuel Labór.”
So, I have completed my daily labors, overseeing the dozen fellers and gals what make up the current workgroup to call themselves Team RamRod (”See, you’re Arkot Ramathorn… Ram. And I’m Rodney Farva… Rod. Team RamRod!”) and I am preparing to have some spaghetti and hang out with friends, but first I wanted to catch up with some of the many titles that I’ve neglected over the busy last days of August…
RAPID-FIRE REVIEW TIME!

Or – “Whosoever Holds This Envelope Shall Possess The Power Of WILLIE LUMPKIN!”
So, the end of the month is always problematic for me, in terms of multitasking. I mention this solely as an explanation of why this issue of Hercules (which came out two weeks ago) is being reviewed a couple of days after the delivery of the NEXT issue of Hercules (which came out on Wednesday.) After their adventure in the underworld, Amadeus Cho and the scion of Olympus have gone their separate ways. Hercules now has to take care of his own father, reverted to childhood, with only the help of his goddess of wisdom sibling to assist him. So, what’s with the wingy hat?
Or – “Sir, I Protest! I Am NOT A Merry Man!!!”
Once again, we’ve come to the situation where Stately Spoilers Manor contains far more comics than there are days to review ‘em, leading once again unto the Final Frontier… NUQNEH – NOOKNEHH! Phasers on summarize!

Yup, it’s another one of those cryptic images Marvel sends out now and again to signal some big something coming down the road. This time it has to do with Thor and Hercules.
Incredible Hercules #136, arrives in October.
Or – “We Hold These Comics To Be Self-Evident…”
Today is American Independence Day, commonly referred to as July 4th, as it takes place on the 4th of July, hence the name, and that’s why the song is called Alice’s Restaurant… To all the faithful Spoilerites of the United States, Happy 4th of July. For those of you who are from elsewhere, sorry about all the hegemony and stuff. Either way, it’s time for another bout of our Rapid Fire Reviews, bite-sized chunks of comics that I either couldn’t write three paragraphs about, or ran out of time to cover. Give us your tired, your poorly drawn, your huddled masses of comics, yearning to be bagged in mylar…

Or – “Ever Wonder Why Marvel’s Afterlife Apparently Has A Revolving Door?”
The answer is more complicated (as well as funnier and more awesome) than you might think.
This ought to be interesting…

Hey, kids! What time is it?
Time to get a new watch!
Return with us now to those glorious days of yesteryear, when comics came out every Wednesday, there was a new car in every a garage, a chicken in every pot, and a pot calling the kettle collect! When the review pile gets high enough to fall over, it’s time for Rapid-Fire REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW OOOOooooOOOOOO!

Or – “There’s Something Funny, Yet Awesome About Fighting In A Skirt And Thigh Boots.”
Quick, raise your hand if the mention of Hercules makes you imagine Eddie Murphy in drag, clapping his hands and chanting!
Yeah, me too…
The Secret Invasion tie-in issue of Incredible Hercules has sold out at the distributor level – although I’m sure you can find copies at your LCS, prompting Marvel to go back to press with a variant cover featuring, you guessed it, interior artwork by Rafa Sandoval.
The second printing arrives July 23, 2008. Take the jump for that cover, and the cover image for Incredible Hercules #119.

Marvel has announced the Secret Invasion tie-in Incredible Hercules #117 has sold out at the distributor level and is going back to press to meet demand. The second printing will feature a variant cover using interior art of Rafa Sandoval.
The second printing of Incredible Hercules #117 will arrive July 2, 2008, and will sell for $2.99.
Time for Hercules to get involved in the Skrull invasion. He’s not alone, as he’s bringing the God Squad with him to deal with the wrinkly jawed foe.
