BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY
Marvel has exhausted many readers with event after event after event...that being said, this is one I am happy to subscribe to! I was delighted to find the extra-sized issue without the extra-sized price! And whether or not you've been following Marvel events closely matters not with this Hercules story, dropping you right in the action, filling in the "need to knows" as you go. Don't let the art throw you, a few pages in and you will appreciate looseness as it lends itself to a fast-paced story. Being a meger 5 issues, there's no real commitment, so breathe easy and enjoy the CHAOS WAR!!!!
