Incredible Hercules: The Mighty Thorcules by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente

This is one of the most entertaining books I've read that made me laugh. Greg Pak has crafted a very funny story and was illustrated to show the humorous situation, and how the characters reacted and worked in their given situation. The switching of roles between Hercules and Thor was very interesting. Greg wrote great dialogue between the two, and Fred's art absolutely captured the essence of each of the two characters during their battles. You then throw in Zeus in the guise of a young child, and you have one comedic situation which shows the son as an older person and the father as the young child, albeit with the powers of the most powerful Olympian god.

I have never seen Thor portrayed as one with such "dirtiest player in the game" type of humor in both words and action. I hope that Greg get's to write The Thunder God sometime in the future.

This graphic novel, has piqued my interest, and I look forward to reading more of the Incredible Hercules in the future.
