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! Collecting the five-issue miniseries in a new deluxe trade paperback format, this follow to the hit miniseries, Hercules: The Thracian Wars, includes an in-depth interview with writer Steve Moore as well as character renderings and a gallery of artwork featuring Jim Steranko (Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Arthur Suydam (Marvel Zombies), Clint Langley (Sláine) and more.
