Because I just couldn't go to sleep tonight without posting something, here's an old post of my favourite issue of Incredible Hercules, #120, pitting our hero against the evil Skrull gods.
Our heroes' initial fight with the Skrull Gods goes badly, but they regroup, as Herc, thinking Amadeus and Snowbird dead, really takes the fight to Kly'bn.
And the moral of the story: even when times are darkest, never lose hope that we can stab our own personal evil deity in the back with the spine of a dead godkiller and win the day.
