A star is reborn in the new Disney's Hercules comic, and that's the Gospel Truth.
Nearly 30 years after Hercules went the distance from zero to hero, the demigod-turned-mortal has returned in Dynamite 's Hercules comic. Written by Elliott Kalan and drawn by George Kambadais , the new ongoing series is set after the events of the 1997 Disney animated movie. Having proven himself a hero after defeating Hades, the hot-headed ruler of the Underworld, Herc rejected godhood and chose to stay on Earth with his human love, Meg, rather than join the pantheon of Greek gods on Mt.
In Hercules #1, the hunky hero is still championed by the citizens of Ancient Greece for his feats of godlike strength, but his father — the mighty and thundering Zeus — wants Herc to embrace his birthright and be worshipped as a god on Olympus. As Phil's star pupil-turned-famed Monster Hunter, Hercules has been performing his labors and ridding humanity of the monsters put on Earth by Zeus.
He's summoned by Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who tells Hercules that the sculptor Pygmalion prayed she would bring his statue to life. Learning that a marble monster is on the loose, Hercules soars into action with his winged horse Pegasus... only to learn that the"monster-statue-thingy" isn't a monster at all, but a sweet-talking, super-strong statue named Galatea. But after the goddess goes missing, Hercules' Olympian mission turns into a mythological mystery...
"The Greek gods don't really get why Hercules chose a mortal life over the opportunity to join them on Mt. Olympus, but since he proved his mettle as a hero many times over, they're happy to enlist his help with missions that require interventions in the earthly realm," the official synopsis reads.
