Available now in a hardcover format and in June as a paperback, Hercules: The Thracian Wars gets a grade A and wonderful writeup from Mania.

"The battle scenes are savagely gory and well constructed. The characters are very brutal but lively and entertaining. Admira Wijaya’s art is magnificent! Where did they find this guy! I’m down with anything involving Steranko. This was a darker look at Greek Mythology. We need to keep an eye on Radical! Grade A"

HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS #4"One of the most strongly written versions of the character ever to hit comics."

Recently, CBR interviewed Barry Levine, Radical Publishing's President and Publisher regarding the Peter Berg's attachment to produce and development to direct Hercules.

This review of both issue #3 of Hercules: The Thracian Wars and Caliber: First Canon of Justice is so good, I feel the entire review should be posted here. Thank you very much Ambush Bug for the great review.

 "This is the third month of product from Radical and the quality has yet to falter. HERCULES continues to be an exciting yarn that mixes mythology with historical facts while CALIBER is turning out to be quite a surprise in its own right. What I like about the two books is that they show a good range of storytelling: one a more in your face action yarn, the other a slow burner of a story that definitely has a specific destination it's heading in. CALIBER is as much a Western story as it is a clever re-imagining of the King Arthur legend with an enchanted gun taking place of the famous sword. As Young Arthur gathers his knights and tries to figure out the reasons why he and only he can operate the enchanted gun, insidious forces are brewing to come into conflict with him soon. HERCULES has everything one would want in a barbarian comic: action, bloodshed, and weapons clashing with weapons. The panel depicting Hercules’ berserker rage is simply amazing with human parts strewn skyward in all directions followed by waves of blood. Unlike Marvel and DC's versions of Herc, this one is set firmly in ancient times as Herc is experiencing his legendary adventures rather than remembering them as he does in those other books. This adds its own distinct take on a character that has proven to stand the test of time in comics. It'd be a sin not to mention the art. Both books are lushly painted with top notch craftsmanship. HERCULES' art is more rugged and raw, while CALIBER's panels are more softly painted and eloquent. High quality art and diverse storytelling is proving to be the standard at Radical. I look forward to seeing more product from this impressive new publisher."

Hercules: The Thracian Wars #3

" I’ve already decided to try and keep up with this particular line from Radical Comics and hopefully the next issue will live up to the hype that this one ended on."http://www.projectfanboy.com/vb/showthread.php?t=992

Caliber: First Canon of Justice #3

"a rather well done book. Sarkar manages to work in his Old Western interpretation of Excalibur subtly enough that for the most part, were it not for the characters’ names, you can completely forget that this is a reimagining and get caught up in the tale he has laid out. And, when you stop to consider how many times the Legend of Arthur has been retold, revamped, and redone, that is quite an impressive feat. "

 Hercules: The Thracian Wars #3

"the art continues to look really good, a smooth painted style that keeps the violence artistically bloody. This story continues to be (bloody) fun on the bun (to pointlessly quote Bender). A really impressive effort from Radical Publishing. "

 Caliber: First Canon of Justice #3

"I must admit that the art has sharpened up this time out. At times the figures are so lush they could be traced photographs "

 "Caliber is still an excellent comic book from Radical Comics. Please pick up this issue and the first two as well, these comics are worth any collectors collection."

Hercules

"Steve Moore is doing a fantastic job here and he proves once again that Radical Comics is a sure thing in the comic book industry. Admira Wijaya is the best kept secret in the comic book industry today. Wijaya's pencils are top notch in issue #3,

Little by little this series is going up in its rating. Radical Comics came from no where and I hope they stick around for awhile. The team of Steve Moore and Admira Wijaya could carry this company on their backs, Hercules: The Thracian Wars is that damn good!"

Comixtreme review of issue #2 of Hercules: The Thracian Wars and Caliber: First Canon of Justice.

Both reviewed by Andrea Speed.

Hercules

"Grim, bloody mythology given an action movie twist, fans of 300 should eat this one up."

 Caliber

"This Arthurian western is intriguing and easy on the eyes, making Radical two for two so far. "

HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS #2 (Radical Comics)

The main difference between this book and the rest of the Hercs in comic these days is that this tale is set in ancient times. This opens up a whole new arena for basically the same character to romp around in. In this miniseries by Steve Moore, Herc is still loud and quick to enter a scuffle, but he's also the semi-leader of a pack of warriors that stumble into a situation where they find themselves way over their heads. Conned into training an inexperienced army how to do battle, Herc and his warriors do what they must to survive. Sure, eventually the conniving army leader will get what's coming to him and I can't wait until Herc blasts him with his giant Captain Caveman club, but I'm enjoying the ride. Moore takes his time focusing on the back story of Herc's warriors (this issue focuses on Atalanta) and adding fighting tips here and there, which may prove useful next time I do battle with an ancient army. Admira Wijaya provides vivid art, making all the characters distinguishable from one another (although a recap box may help to keep all of these tricky names straight). Wijaya also does a great job of drawing massive scenes of carnage and scores of people battling one another--a useful skill in a comic like HERCULES. Moore's attention to historical detail is noticed and appreciated here and he makes this series stand out from your typical barbarian fare. - Ambush Bug

J. Montes has another great review of Hercules: The Thracian Wars. This time for Issue #2.

 "Why anyone isn’t reading Hercules is beyond me. This is a smart and brutal series that war, history, and mythological buffs will truly enjoy."

 "All in all, this series is one of the sleeper hits of 2008. It’s the perfect marriage of story and art on a very high level. With Calibur and Hercules, Radical Comics is off to a strong start as a new publisher. Highly recommended. (Grade: A-)"

Hercules

"Usually with a new comic book company all effort is sunk into the maiden voyage and the rest of the series is a steady downhill slide from there, but Radical defies the norm. Intrigue and action continue to enthrall, and the steady pace does not let up from the first issue. This is a series even Edith Hamilton would cozy up to and enjoy."

Caliber

"This is a fantastic series so far and this issue, with its Tombstone feel, is action packed. Yet, while I applaud the creativity behind making work a re-telling of a legend in a different time and space"

"Issue two of HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS really stands up to the first issue and continues to thrill with astounding artwork and excellent writing."

Weekly Comic Book Review on Hercules

With a retail price of $1.00 for the first issue, you’re getting a fantastic deal, not to mention a bloody start to what I’m hoping will become an epic series. The dark tone of Steve Moore’s story is further bolstered by Admira Wijaya’s stunning visuals.

 http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/2008/05/05/hercules-1-of-5-review/

After reading the first few pages I was hooked by Admira Wijaya’s art style. The story flowed quite nicely and I can’t wait for the next part to see how it is resolved.

 "Hercules: The Thracian Wars is just what they bill it as; a revolutionary reimagining of an icon. Read it. You won't be disappointed."

"At full price the book would be worth your money; for a buck, it’d be crazy not to try it. The most impressive series debut so far this year."

Thank you very Jim for a spectacular review and glowing praise for our debut of Hercules and Caliber!

http://comicsand.blogspot.com/2008/04/radical-comics-reviews-hercules-1-and.html

Hercules: The Thracian War is an epic saga and we get a front row seat. Grade “A” If you pass this book up for $1, you are making a big mistake.

This is another winning title from Radical Comics. Caliber is a western tale with mystic overtones and looks to be a saga that stretches across decades. Grade “A”.
