The Incredible Hercules, Vol. 2: Secret Invasion

A very strange book. The action is a bit jumpy and compressed, reminiscent of the old school Kirby stories. I'm assuming that's a direct homage, since the story draws so much from Kirby's legacy.

I was entertained, and the story did what it was supposed to, but I feel like this wasn't edited as strongly as it should have been. Also, the Suicide/God Squad thing was strangely off-kilter. Not sure it really fits.

Overall, it was a good read, and quite mythic, but it just didn't quite hang together well enough to warrant the full 5 stars. ( )
