Richard Renteria raves about “Incredible Hulk” #100 for Newsarama’s Best Shots crew. Here’s an excerpt:
Are you one of those people who complain about events where nothing happens and the story is slow and/or hard to follow? Then pick-up this title, quickly. It has everything you are looking for. From the beastly Hulk Smash all the way to the quieter moments where characters are allowed to become something more than just throw away fodder. This title has all the no-holds barred action one only wishes was a regular feature of most titles. But wait, there’s more, a whole lot more. This title, even though taking place off-world, is a lynchpin in the Marvel Universe that very few people are recognizing. Tying into the final dissolution of the Illuminati, causing repercussions in Civil War that are unseen (for now), and leading directly into Marvels Summer 2007 event, World War Hulk; this title is a must read for any true fan of the Marvel Universe. As Planet Hulk comes closer to its ending, one gets the feeling that things are just beginning. Currently in the pages of the Hulk, events are being set in motion that will impact the Marvel Universe in what look to be major ways.
With some excellent writing by Greg Pak and visually stunning artwork by the talented Carlo Pagulayan, the Incredible Hulk will be the title to follow as we move beyond the Civil War.

Bart Gerardi has written a rave review of the “Battlestar Galactica” #2 comic book, penned by Greg Pak with art by Nigel Raynor. Here’s the capper:
If you’re a fan of BSG (and if you aren’t, you should be,) then this is a fantastic read. If you’re just a fan of the genre, you’ll like this too, as the story trancends the Battlestar mythos, and will grip you like few Sci-Fi on the market today will.
