Xanatos Fail

Four scans from Incredible Hercules #136.


So Herc and Thor duke it out, in the end Herc surrenders (but gives a big speech about how now everyone will know that Thor is inferior to Hercules, which Thor has to let pass, since they're posing as each other).

Then, Malekith, the mastermind behind this whole scheme, reveals himself:  only Herc and Thor combined have the strength to stop him, but now, having beaten themselves silly in their fight, they will now be too weak to save themselves from the fearsome Grendell, the most powerful Dark Elf who ever lived!  Things are looking dire for our heroes!



Just to be clear, Malekith just showed up on the previous page; that's the whole resolution.  Not so clever as he thought, it seems.





"...tell me of this elven tickler?"

Thor says maybe when he's older ("What?  I'm tens of thousands of years old already!").

So the moral of the story:  being good in the sack compensates for many other flaws.

LOVE the facial expressions! this book is so much fun.

And Zeus, you have had many affairs and fathered many demi-gods. Surely by now you have mastered the "Elven Tickler".

LOVE the facial expressions!

Ditto; I giggled at the face when he did the slashing motion and the "Ix-Nay on the Eus-Zay". God, the fact that a demigod is speaking in Pig Latin just makes Hercules so amazingly dorky.

That's next month's issue, if I remember this alternating story-line thing right.

It's twice a month for this story, so #137 comes out in two weeks.

Can't wait to buy this book. Even with the sappy moment at the end, it still looks to contain it's typical awesomeness.

There aren't many books that would dedicate a full splash page to Thor kicking Hercules in the nuts (and then have him follow it up with a wedgie).

Is there a mythological basis for Malekith?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malekith#Trivia

It seems like an unbelievable coincidence.

Doubtful, given that his headquarters is in England. Methinks he's simply a riff on the 'Dark Elves' that show up in Norse mythology.

You seem to be discounting the idea that Warhammer's Malekith is based on the comics one and are wondering if the inverse relationship exists. The Thor villian first showed up in 1985, about 10 years prior to the Warhammer character. I'd guess that he was inspired by the comic character, not the other way around.

Maybe if I hadn't bothered to read the Wikipedia article about the comic character Malekith, I wouldn't know which came first. It's just that the article about the Warhammer Malekith claims that there's no relation, so I was wondering how that could be true, rather than wondering if there existed a time-defying relation between them.

I never read Marvel comics as a child. I never played Warhammer, either. Running a role-playing game, however, I once created a major villain named Malekith, who was a dark-skinned elf (no, not Drow, this was a system where all the elves were dark-skinned).

Of course, my Malekith actually had a much longer name, which just began with 'Malekith,' but the coincidence stunned me when I later found it. Either there's just something about the name (I was consciously seeking a Mal- sort of obviously evil name), or it's somehow out there in the collective geek unconscious.

Foolish Asgard as Deadpool will tell you it surely is his Godly Endowments that saved the day.

So is Thor okay that Herc used his identity to get lucky? Even though the Prince of Power bashed up Clor for having soil the Thundergod's name for murder.

The difference was that Clor killed a fellow hero and was an insane cloned killing machine. Here, Erc's trying to do the right thing, it just got a little messed up.

Who is Herc addressing with that "ix-nay on the Eus-Zay" line? Almost looks like he's looking out at the readers, as if he's worried they'll get sued if they violate Zeus's copyright...

I think he was saying it to Thor under his breath while looking at Alflyse who was walking up right behind them.
