* SpiritualSuccessor: Many have noted how similar this run's story is to Neil Gaiman's ''Literature/AmericanGods''. A plot centered around the rise of new gods born out of modern society, trying to erase the old pantheons to replace them, only for the mythological characters to fight back... Cryptomnesia is even a blatant {{Expy}} of the Technical Boy.

* {{Narm}}: Cryptomnesia is a hard character to legitimately fear as a villain. Though the implication is that he's supposed to be a sort of GigglingVillain who's confident to the point of irritating, he constantly speaks in internet slang and comes across as [[TotallyRadical what a Gen-Xer THINKS Millennials sound like]]. In Issue #3 of ''Gods of War'', when the eponymous Gods of War and the Avengers are arguing about how to stop Hercules, Cryptomnesia and the rest of the Storm are literally standing right next to them, making faces. That's had a lot of fans wondering: are these guys supposed to be a deadly, world-destroying threat, or fifth graders?

* BaseBreaker: Fans of the Incredible Hercules are not exactly fond of Abnett trying to get the character to clean up his act. Some argue that it's an interesting change which makes the character a better example of a hero, others think it takes away many of the traits which made the character fun and interesting in the first place. And others think the "true heroes don't act this way" message is misguided when the older series played Hercules as a heroic figure and an occasional good influence on Amadeus Cho despite his vices. Abnett's insistence on constantly reminding the reader that they're wrong for liking the old Hercules as a hero rubs a lot of fans the wrong way as well.

* CharacterDerailment:
** First, there's the issue of Herc's bisexuality. Fans of diversity are angered by the decision to make Herc canonically straight while others feel that (aside from a few instances of ArmedWithCanon), Marvel Hercules was always straight anyway, so there's no big deal.
** The new "[[LetsGetDangerous Srs!Herc]]" persona in this series, which goes against how he's behaved for almost 50 years. Herc's BoisterousBruiser and IdiotHero personality had a lot of fans, especially since it contrasted nicely with the serious and noble Thor. Many of them were hoping for the character's next big push to be more similar in tone to Pak/Van Lente's LighterAndSofter ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHercules''. Even if humor was difficult and risky to pull off, the new sober and chaste Herc isn't what many had in mind.
