WRITER: Paul Tobin
PENCILS: Denis Medri
COLORED BY: Chris Sotomayor
LETTERED BY: Dave Sharpe
What they got right: This is maybe the third time I've seen Tobin write Hercules, and every time I enjoy his version. His womanizing makes me want to hurt him (impossible as it is) from the standpoint of a lonely single guy, but he's a lot of fun to read. It's also nice to see Giant Girl again (since the cancellation of MA: Avengers, I kind of missed her) and I haven't seen Spider-Woman outside of her guest appearance in MA: Iron Man (speaking of things I miss). The art isn't all that great, but it isn't bad, and at least the layouts are good. It's mostly the character models that don't always work for me.

What they got wrong: What was the point of the Beast in this story? He really doesn't do anything, and I'm not a fan of the way he looks these days Marvel-wide. And back to Herc, why doesn't Tobin ever do a full Hercules story? I'm sure it would be as fun as everything else he does here. Also, why does the costume change when she becomes the Wasp, and why have her be both? Having her as "Giant Girl" sets Janet apart from her now dead 616 counterpart (as well as the Ultimate one–they really screwed her up there).

Recommendation: Not a very strong story, but still a lot of fun. It's at least worth a look.
