Official Synopsis:

OLYMPUS IS FALLING!

After being ghosted by Aphrodite, Hercules suspects that the goddess of love may have been the victim of malevolent forces. But before he can investigate much further, he’s tasked with another Olympian mission – this time on behalf of Aphrodite’s husband Haphaestus, god of the forge, who enlists Hercules to track down a clockwork war machine that might be responsible for his wife’s mysterious disappearance.

However, when Hercules – joined by the always-helpful Phil and the newly incarnated Galatea – pursues the rogue automaton, Haphaestus goes missing as well. And while losing one god could simply be bad luck, losing two in as many days seems more like a conspiracy!

My Review

*STOP READING HERE IF YOU WANT TO AVOID ALL SPOILERS*

Another Olympian God, Haphaestus, has a job for Hercules. Haphaestus is the God of the Forge who makes all of the weapons for the Olympians. Haphaestus’ wife Aphrodite has recently gone missing, and he fears that one of his mechanical creations took her. Hercules, Phil, and Galatea are on the case in the search for Aphrodite. They will need to defeat Haphaestus’ godly monster creation, Talos.

At the end of this issue, we get a shadowy glimpse of the God who is behind the mysterious disappearance of Aphrodite. The mystery villain could be Hades or a new Hercules villain. Haphaestus joins Aphrodite as captured Olympians. Per usual, George Kambadais does a god like art performance on all of his panels. I love the Hercules characters both old and new in his art style. As we have seen with his work on Dynamite Comics’ Gargoyles comic series, George can really pack his panels with action. I look forward to more adventures of Hercules.
