We start a new arc, “Sidekicks Movin’ Up,” by reading “Incredible Hercules: The New Prince of Power” by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. After Hercules’ apparent death, the Gods elect Amadeus Cho to be the new Prince of Power and head up the Olympus Group. There’s just one problem: Amadeus Cho doesn’t believe any of it. We take some time to talk about the definition of “sidekick,” Cho’s state of denial, and the ever-important art of pacing.

We wrap up our Thorcules Arc with the titular trade, “The Mighty Thorcules,” a collection of hilarious issues from the comic The Incredible Hercules, by Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, Reilly Brown, and Rodney Buchemi. It’s a lot of creators, but it’s a lot of worth it as well. Also, you try and pronounce “Alflyse of Svartalfheim.” For more info about upcoming or previous episodes, check out the show schedule on our website, www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com.
