Apparently, Marvel’s Hercules had a book. And, apparently, Dan Abnett wrote the book. I hadn’t known this. Or perhaps, I did, only I didn’t pay attention, filtering it out of my sphere of comic books that I read or consider, much like a husband might filter out his wife. The last time I read a Hercules book was years ago, back when Marvel “killed” Hercules off. (Like you could really kill a God.) I enjoyed the book then as something I might pick-up as a distraction from the more prominently advertised titles. It was not memorable, but it was fun. When I discovered that Marvel intended publishing a Hercules book that “tied-in” to Civil War II, my interest was peaked, and I picked it up. And as I had done in the past, I enjoyed Gods of War, and thought that, compared other titles Marvel and DC has released recently, it was a strong offering by writer Dan Abnett and artist Emilio Laiso. The reviews I read after reading were not so kind...
