In the tradition of NBC’s THE BLACKLIST and BLINDSPOT, Space Buggy Press is proud to present AMERICAN HERCULES, a modern reimagining of the strongman’s classic Labors! THE LION OF NEMEA is part one in a six-part serialized storyline. Six years ago, decorated war hero Nathan Hercules awoke to find blood on his body, a knife in his hands, and his wife and children dead at his feet. He had no memory of committing this crime, but when the cops and lawyers came for him, he willingly signed the rest of his life away in order to save anyone else from being killed by his hands. In the time between then and now, Nathan has come to grips with his role in what had happened, and he’s become convinced that while he held the knife, someone else bears responsibility for what happened, too. What he needs is a way out. Enter Landon Eurystheus, the lawyer who put him away and currently a CIA Special Director, with an offer to help Nathan track down the truth. All Eurystheus wants in return is Nathan’s help in finding the one man in the world Nathan cares least about: Washington Zeus, the world’s richest missing person and Hercules’ biological father. Hercules agrees and joins Labor Division. Alongside disgraced FBI Agent Catherine Meda, field agent Ernest Echion, and computer expert Phocus Reilly, Hercules’ first labor sends him to west Texas to face the Lion of Nemea, a cult leader with a penchant for kidnapping and brainwashing women. The identity of the Lion of Nemea will force Hercules to confront his past as a member of the United States Special Forces, and the deal he made with a devil in the Afghan desert.

A New Hercules For A New Age By Derrick Ferguson For a good number of years now, film versions of the plays of William Shakespeare have been set in modern times or the near future. Or, like 1995's "Richard III" set in an alternate 1930s England that has embraced fascism. I myself like and appreciate these efforts to make Shakespeare more visually interesting and accessible. Not that I don't mind togas and sandals, you understand. But for me, Shakespeare takes on an added dimension when the characters are walking around in Armani suits and driving Mercedes Benzes.Three pages into AMERICAN HERCULES: The Lion of Nemea I caught on as to what Mark Bousquet was doing and I was grinning like an idiot. Partly because of the sheer audacity of what he's doing and mostly in admiration that he pulled it off so well and had me hooked ten pages in.AMERICAN HERCULES: The Lion of Nemea is the first part of a six part serial that at times felt to me like it could be the basis for a graphic novel or the pilot episode of a high octane action TV series. Mark Bousquet has adopted a lean, stripped down style to give us the origin of the main character, war hero and one man army Nathan Hercules and how he comes to work for The Labor Division, a black ops arm of The CIA. What Mark is giving us is a modern day retelling of the Greek myth of Hercules (or Herakles is you're a stickler for that sort of thing.)and his Twelve Labors. And much like how Shakespeare takes on an added dimension when set in modern day, the legend of Hercules likewise has a entirely new flavor being set in the shadow world of espionage, black ops and CIA double-and-triple dealings.Mark commits entirely to his conceit and just throws the reader right into the middle of the action. Just trust him and go along with it and you won't be disappointed. It's a short, yet tough and muscular read. And it's a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Intriguing Start By Russell L. Anderson American Hercules takes the stories of ancient myth and represents them in a modern context. This isn't ancient, mythological Hercules returning for new adventures. The conceit is that those stories are happening right now, with modern analogs to the elements of well-known stories. The most obvious comparison I can think of is BBC's Sherlock.The result is violent and raunchy - just like the source material - and a lot of fun. Nathan Hercules is a former elite soldier, imprisoned for the murder of his family. He gets a chance to get back at the people who did this to him, hunting his missing father as a special agent for the FBI and CIA.I like the idea of short, bi-weekly episodes as part of a 6-episode "season". I'm looking forward to reading these as they come out.
