Continuing the (thus far) one-sided romantic adventures of Herc and Vixen! Hey, not every couple can instantly click like Wonder Woman and Captain America...
These two were last seen battling giant snakes in STF #3096, and Hercules first became attracted to Vixen in STF #3014... Will the Lion of Olympus ever win the heart of Mari McCabe? Only time (and future covers) will tell...

Another great cover! Hercules has always been one of my favorite characters and one of my all time favorite Avengers. I love the Vixen guest shots with Herc!
I would have called it "Roc n' Rollin!"
Otherwise, I consider it the most brilliant depiction of these two to date. :-)
Great cover! Clearly our Herc is hoping his lady love will go beak at the knees and need his help...
I love the crazy combination, but I love even more that each cover has them in the same lower-right (Hercules)/upper-right (Vixen) placement on the cover! Nicely done!
This cover is great -- the craftsmanship really is 99th-percentile level, and I can't even tell that it wasn't originally done this way by a single artist rather than three.
On the other hand, this is the one romantic pairing you've done that I just don't care for. I'm not sure what it is, but it just doesn't "click" for me. I still stand by my pairing suggestions on #3104 -- Vixen with Black Panther, and Hercules with Jesse Quick or Shrinking Violet.
At the opposite end, my favorite of your romantic pairings is the Power Couple, and I think you've indicated that you have something coming up with them. It'd be cool to see them facing some great cosmic-level challenge together, or visiting Fuerza (who just made her less-than-ideal live-action debut on The Flash) to learn how to tap into the Strength Force.
And I'm still eager to see Vixen and Spider-Man team up, non-romantically, through their mutual connection with the African spider-god Anasazi.
Glad you guys like this cover, I like this pairing, even if Vixen(and Bob G) are less enthusiastic about it than Herc. I have a fun idea for their next appearance.
You just wanted to make that pun, didn't you? Be honest. We won't think less of you.
@Bob: That's "Anansi." The Anasazi were the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo Indian tribes of the American Southwest. Although, in all fairness, one of those tribes (the Hopi, I think) does have one or two legends about a trickster-heroine called Spider Woman!
@Anon@3:31: Thanks for the correction. I never seem to get those two names straight.
It could be worse. You could be one of those so-called "fans" who constantly confuse Rogue and Rouge!
As Mr. Rogers might say: "Remember, boys and girls. Rogue is the X-woman who absorbs the metabolic energy of whoever she touches. While Rouge has obsessive hots for the Chief of the Doom Patrol!
For some reason, I just can't picture Mr. Rogers using the phrase, "obsessive hots."
