Thank you NetGalley and Europe Comics for the review copy!

Hmm, another really short story that was resolved super quickly. The cliffhanger just made me go like 'how?!?!?!' and I don't know if I want to pick up any of the sequels (unless I can find them on NetGalley as I did with this one).

Apparently, Hercules Intergalactic Agent: Book 2 The Intruder is the second book in a series that I was unaware of, I only realized after I started reading and saw the tiny “book 2” that was sighed an audible “oops.” Thankfully it’s honestly pretty easy to grasp what was happening despite missing the “first episode” as it were. It tells the story of a couple of underdogs, bottom of their class, students at an intergalactic agent school.

“Hercules and Marlon are in their second year of intergalactic agent school and they still have a lot to learn! But when their teacher is bitten by a strange alien creature, they’ll need to put down the books and leap into action because the sickness affecting Teach seems to be spreading throughout the school…”

While this isn’t really meant for kids, as it alludes to cursing a few times, the messages in the book would be good for a kid’s book – never judging a book by its cover, and having compassion for all living things. It has a pretty strong allegory to the recent string of migrant and asylum seeker crises that have arisen as of late, which makes it a pretty forward thinking book. The allusions could be a tad heavy-handed, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The art is fun, and it reminds me of something from the 80’s Heavy Metal movie.

PopKulturowy Kociołek:

Tytułowy Herkules i jego iście kosmiczny (z wyglądu i zachowania) towarzysz Marlon, to dwójka bohaterów, którym marzy się zostanie agentami chroniącymi bezkres kosmosu. Problemem jest jednak to, że są oni najgorszymi uczniami w swojej klasie i wiecznie coś im się przytrafia (o czym mogliśmy się przekonać w tomie pierwszym serii). Co może więc pójść nie tak, kiedy to właśnie ten duet będzie musiał powstrzymać ogromne zagrożenie? Wszystko zaczyna się od tego, jak jeden z nauczycieli zostaje ugryziony przez tajemniczego przybysza. Później sytuacja robi się bardzo niebezpieczna i szkole grozi epidemia. Czy młodym agentom uda się uratować kolegów i nauczycieli, nie robiąc przy tym jeszcze większych szkód?

Treść drugiego tomu serii pozornie może wydawać się dość złożona. Vincent Zabus decyduje się bowiem tutaj poruszyć dwa dość trudne i dla wielu kontrowersyjne tematy: napływ migrantów i pandemia. Pamiętajmy jednak, że jest to cykl skierowany do młodszego odbiorcy. Tematyka ta jest więc podana w bardzo prostej i mocno humorystycznej formie. Przewracaniu kolejnych stron komiksu głównie towarzyszy nam tutaj pojawiający się na twarzy uśmiech rozbawienia niż mocniejsze zastanowienie się nad pochłoniętą treścią. Nie brakuje tu jednak nienachalnego i całkiem poprawnie zrobionego promowania niektórych wartości (wzajemna pomoc, odwaga, przyjaźń). Obok tego wszystkiego autor kontynuuje niektóre napoczęte w części pierwszej wątki i stopniowo ukazuje ewolucję Herkulesa (który może mieć zadatki na naprawdę dobrego agenta).

“Hercules Intergalactic Agent #2: The Intruder“ the story by Zabus, and Art by Antonello Dalena is a graphic novel about a school set in space.

Hercules and Marlon are in their second year of school and the adventures continue. When their teacher is bitten by a strange alien creature and changes, they need to stop it from happening to everybody else.

This was a fun space adventure, but I liked the first volume a little better. The art is solid, and the alien creatures are zany. This is a good read for young sci-fi fans.

The characters are hilarious, and the plot hits this great balance between silly humor and drama. You really care about these characters and their struggles, even when they occasionally behave foolishly. A fun-filled adventure, with more great installments to come!

This was an ok read possibly for a younger audience. The artwork was good and so was the colouring. It was an interesting story, not really any 'wow' moments but still a pleasure to read.

Un 2ème tome tout en action et en rebondissements. J'ai beaucoup aimé cette intrigue et j'avoue que, même si ça n'était pas si inattendu, j'ai été surprise par certaines révélations. Hercule et Marlon ne sont pas toujours d'accord, on sent la tension, le stress lié à la situation. Mais malgré ça, ils agissent en front commun et forment un sympathique duo. Et cette fin !!! Vite le tome 3 !
