Hercules is the latest character to get a solo series as part of All-New All-Different Marvel.
Writer Dan Abnett and artist Luke Ross will be positioning the Greek legend as "the world's first superhero" in their Marvel Comics series.
"This is not a grim and gritty take on Hercules," Abnett told CBR.
"It's going to be triumphantly celebratory of everything that Hercules has ever been, but it is him cutting back to basics and going, 'Right, I need to get my act together again and prove that I'm a serious warrior and hero'."
The comic will be delving into the demi-god's mythical past as well as telling stories of his adventures in the modern age.
Hercules might sound like an odd proposition for Marvel, but Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente's previous Incredible Hercules run was much-loved, and if anyone can match them, it's Abnett.
Hercules will join a series of other surprising heroes going solo in the post-Secret Wars world, including Karnak, Blade and the Vision.
Hercules #1 will be landing in November.
