The Incredible Hercules #121 cover

Last month’s finisher of the Secret Invasion tie-in was a big one… you know, with Hercules killing the Skrull god Kly’bn and kind of taking out a big part of the Skrull fight, but who remembers that? (Probably not the rest of the Marvel U! Because this title really doesn’t get the respect it deserves…) Nevertheless, this month’s began with a big fat punch right in your face.

I don’t know how much more love I can give to this damn comic. Now that its back to just Amadeus Cho–without a pup in tow–and good ol’ Hercules, nothing can go wrong… right? Take a step into this issue and you’ll see…

So, this week I decided to just continue my sort of “Rapid Reviews” to which I call, if you didn’t guess it, Tuesday Twist-offs.

Let me lay down what I’m going to speed through for you real quick:

• Air #1
• Amazing Spider-Man #568
• Incredible Hercules #120
• Rest #0
• Squadron Supreme 2 #2

Does that work for you? Well, it works for me. Let’s begin.

Amazing Spider-Man #568 Cover

Is it just me or did that week go by really fast? I feels like I was just writing about the August 13 comic book releases and here we are with August 20 already. Hey, I’m not complaining, that just means more comicy goodness for all of us to enjoy.

With the summer quickly coming to a close, Marvel’s got a bunch of great comics coming this week (sorry, DC, nothing I was all that interested in this week). First, we’ll start with a big new arc in Amazing Spider-Man. I’ll also talk about a couple of awesome, fan-favorite books, one which is ending an arc and another that is starting one. Finally, there are a couple of great one-shots that should round out a nice pickup at the shop this week. I’ll tell you more, if you just hit that break!!!
