Preview: Hulk vs. Hercules: When Titans Collide

INCREDIBLE! HERC VERSUS HULK!

Hulk smashes Hercules. Hercules clobbers Hulk. Well, just who is stronger – the Green Goliath or the Lion of Olympus? The critically-acclaimed creative team behind Incredible Hercules look to answer that question in a mammoth-sized one-shot Hulk vs. Hercules: When Titans Collide.

Following the events of the first arc of Incredible Hercules, Hercules and Amadeus Cho hit the road and along the way, the Prince of Power reveals a never-before seen story of him going against ol’ Green Scar himself — the Incredible Hulk! And this story sets up themes for the upcoming “Sacred Invasion” story beginning in May’s Incredible Hercules #117 that you won’t want to miss.

In reviews for Incredible Hercules, Comixtreme.com has said Greg Pak and Fred Van “have done an amazing job at crafting this story” and Khoi Pham’s artwork has been called “truly incredible” as the title continues to rack up great reviews from a bevy of online press.

Plus, this one-shot features a classic Hulk and Hercules brawl from Tales to Astonish #79 filled with even more smashing, crashing, mashing and lashing (and probably a lot of property damage). Both heroes have both been called “Incredible,” but just who will win take the title when Hulk and Hercules go nose-to-nose in Hulk vs. Hercules: When Titans Collide?
