Mythapalooza

Four scans apiece from Incredible Hercules #129 and Wonder Woman #32.

Athena sends Herc and Cho to visit the Underworld to retrieve Zeus; the entrance to the Underworld, as we saw in the preview, is in a casino in Atlantic City, and the Erebus, the part they immediately enter, contains all the souls of those lingering between life and death, gambling at a casino until their number comes up and they get to return. Among them...

Seems since those things happened, Pluto's lost any interest in his job and spends all his time on Earth.

EDIT: Now that I think about, this is some kind of meta-hell, because Bucky was never actually dead.

Speaking of Earth, Hera confronts Hebe about her betraying them and helping Herc survive. Hebe insists that since Herc is her husband, being loyal to him should be her first concern. Hera corrects her that her first duty...

I like you, Delphyne, but I'm pretty sure a handgun isn't going to do it against her.

Over in Wondy-land, Diana fights Genocide some more:

Apparently, as Genocide exposits, she was just looking for an "Adam" to help with the whole "depleted race" thing.

Diana gets even more pissed off and they fight some more (this never gets old).

That was a really, really predictable move, but nevertheless...really cool.

Makes sense, given that all Zeus' men were dead.

At least that part of Rucka's run still holds.

	I'm really sorry to hear that - and doubly appreciative that you've been sticking up for us. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeen. It royally sucks that you've been getting flack for your supportive comments - sadly, given the amount of bile flying around at the time of S_D 1's TOSing I'm not surprised, but I am saddened if any of it flew your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, I don't want to get all whiney and overstate the issue. It was nothing worth worrying about. And I actually had a very nice long correspondence with Peter David, who was actually pretty understanding about the whole thing and has been unfairly cast as a villain, in my view.

The rhetoric level was pretty high.

One funny thing is that in GENERAL, S_D usually did only a few pages of each of my issues, and lately, DC's website blog THE SOURCE has been previewing as many as eight pages at a time. It's a little odd! :)

	Tsk. And they don't even add insightful or amusing commentary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, but they don't have the icky icky GHEY, and don't make poor oppressed fanboys uncomfortable, so that totally makes it ok. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well hey, at least we know they're posting some great stuff! Though I'll admit I haven't read the Secret Six preview yet, but I don't figure it's there to preach to the converted, because, yes, S_D definitely beat The Source to it at convincing me to pick up the book (and subsequently hunt every back-issue).
