INCREDIBLE HERCULES #129
Written by FRED VAN LENTE & GREG PAK Penciled by RYAN STEGMAN Cover by DAVID WILLIAMS In this issue: HERCULES AND AMADEUS CHO DIE!!! We heard that cheap death sells comics, and we’re more than happy to oblige. Though seriously, if you had to plunge into the UNDERWORLD and bring back Hercules’ slain father ZEUS to counter Hera’s power, could you think of a better plan? And come to think of it, have you ever noticed how… impermanent death is in the Marvel Universe? Well, while hobnobbing among the most famous Marvel deceased over the last few years, Herc and Cho learn the terrible secret why — and why PLUTO, Lord of the Dead, is fighting-mad about it!

I just called the store and was told the sales are through the roof on MAYHEM I bought 60 copies today Tyrese us in the comic book retail world can’t thank you enough for the energy that your bringing to the comic book industry.
I’m gonna promote MAYHEM big time in my store and online.
God luck Tyrese I don’t know why you decided to be apart of our world but were really glad your here.

Like no other comic book cover I have every seen, maybe not as many as some but by far one of the best that I have seen. Detailed, the colors used and they way were used, uncommon, surrealistic like. Exacting graphics. I especially like the way the red and silver colors stand out in the middle with the writing or symbols over to the side. The different scary faces surrounding MAYHEM diving through the wall of faces really does it for me. Keep MAYHEM going….
Ava May 28, 2009 at 12:40 am
Keep MAYHEM going for years to come. I simply love it…
ziporaha May 28, 2009 at 1:56 am

MAYHEM #1 FAN!! June 3, 2009 at 1:55 am
Tyrese you said it before you either innovate or imitate and your obviously into being ahead of the curve us true die hard comic book fans love this new hiphop energy your bringing to this comic book world it’s like nothing I’ve ever witnessed before. I get around and most of my closest friends are all comic book readers and before I even mentioned Mayhem they already knew about it. So who ever is doing your marketing is doing wonders for your new venture. Good luck with Mayhem and I give you my word that I will tell everyone I know about this movement.
Phill sending you love all the way from Egypt!
