About Hercules

The new comic follows the events of the beloved 1997 Walt Disney Animation Studious feature film, but is perfect for those who are new to the story and fans of the original film alike. After his famous journey, Hercules chose mortality over godhood in his internal struggle as a demigod. The Greek gods still don’t understand why he would ever make that decision, but that hasn’t severed their connection. Hercules has proven his might and mettle many times over, and the gods are more than happy to enlist him as their agent of Earthly matters.

Story Description: OLYMPUS IS FALLING!

After being ghosted by Aphrodite, Hercules suspects that the goddess of love may have been the victim of malevolent forces. But before he can investigate much further, he's tasked with another Olympian mission - this time on behalf of Aphrodite's husband Haphaestus, god of the forge, who enlists Hercules to track down a clockwork war machine that might be responsible for his wife's mysterious disappearance.

However, when Hercules - joined by the always-helpful Phil and the newly incarnated Galatea - pursues the rogue automaton, Haphaestus goes missing as well. And while losing one god could simply be bad luck, losing two in as many days seems more like a conspiracy!
