Another great Hercules story from Radical Comics. It's too bad they went out of business. They made some of the highest quality comics out there.

le groupe de "héros", réduit de deux têtes, débarque en Egypte où la force brute ne suffit pas face aux complots et j'ai trouvé ça bien plus appréciable que le premier volume

Μετριότατο, αν και με μερικές έξυπνες ιδέες. Δεν ενθουσιάστηκα
