Written by Doug Moench, illustrated by Alex Nino.

Hi Could you cover Marvel Preview #9 Man-God. And #10's back up story on Hercules: Prince of Power. I'm attempting to finish Man-God with writer Roy Thomas. He's plotted part II for me like three years ago. I hope to have Roy finish the story soon as well.
