1st printing. Collects Hercules (2008 Radical) #1-5. Written by Steve Moore. Art by Admira Wijaya. The King of Thrace has hired Hercules and his mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time.

Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece or even Olympus itself?

1st printing. Collects Hercules: The Knives of Kush (2009 Radical) #1-5. Written by Steve Moore. Art by Cris Bolson and Manuel & Leonardo Silva. Writer Steve Moore (Dr. Who, Young Tom Strong) returns with an all-new tale of ancient adventure, placing Hercules in the middle of a deadly game of political intrigue and secret sects. Arriving in Egypt, the Son of Zeus and his band of mercenaries find themselves in the employ of Pharaoh Seti II, a ruler pitted against his own brother and reigning over a kingdom on the verge of civil war. However, Hercules' appointment as royal bodyguard is in truth a cover for a far deadlier assignment - penetrating the sinister cult known as The Knives of Kush. In this harrowing tale of deception and sorcery, Hercules will face an enemy like no other, a madman wielding powers that rival even that of the Gods themselves!
