I’ve had a backlog of commissions on my list for awhile now– if you haven’t heard from me, check back in, make sure yours didn’t get lost in the shuffle. In the meantime, here’s a few to share!

I can’t lie: I’ve ALWAYS loved Marvel’s Hercules. In fact, as a kid I was really disheartened that the other renditions of Herc weren’t as interesting as the big M’s version– from the horrible, cheeseball, translated-poorly films to the Kevin Sorbo television series (which was alright, but not MY Hercules, y’know?) and even the styled, good-but-not-brilliant Disney movie, none of them captured the character like Marvel.

Loud, a braggart, often getting into classic Marvel scrapes for any number of misunderstandings (though mostly due to pride, booze, or wenches)… Hercules is awesome. He’s not the man I want to be when I have to grow up, but he’s a guy I’d love to sit back and knock back a drink with. A man’s man, and one that’s hard to find these days. Not MY template for heroism, but certainly one I’d hate to see go away forever.

Bring on another round and spin us a tale, Herc! What what that about the Hydra again? On the moon? With a hatchet?

Wow.
