“The Buy Pile” LOVES “Incredible Hercules” #129
Hannibal Tabu puts “Incredible Hercules” in his “Buy Pile.” Here’s an excerpt:
[Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente] recast Erebus (“the region of Hades that abuts the mortal world, where the dead first arrive and many stay here … those who believe they have unfinished stories and ache for a chance to be reborn”) into a glitzy casino where people can “gamble all day, hoping against reason to be selected for resurrection (although, to be honest, more of them win than you might ever expect”) and even posits a great reason for the differing views of the afterlife from different spiritual perspectives. It’s brilliant. The more you read it, the more sense it makes… When you add in Hera’s shows of power, Amadeus’ gaming skill (“I have no idea why people make such a big deal about this game”) and the beautifully rendered finale and this is an issue that’ll creep into your consciousness weeks down the line.
CBR likes “Incredible Hercules” #129
An excerpt:
[Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente] continue to deliver excellent characterization set firmly inside the Marvel mythology. And unlike many superhero comics that focus on characterization, Pak and Van Lente don’t skimp on the plot, either. This is a comic about grand adventures and epic battles, and based on the spash page at the end of issue #129, the epic grandeur is just getting started.

Marvel.com talks Skaar, Herc, and War Machine with Greg Pak
Marvel.com’s Kevin Mahadeo has interviewed writer Greg Pak about “Planet Skaar,” “Incredible Hercules,” and “War Machine.” Here’s an excerpt:
Marvel.com: PLANET SKAAR PROLOGUE #1 hits stores this week, probably both figuratively and literally as I doubt the comic page can alone contain the smashing. What can fans expect to see in this kick off issue?
Greg Pak: Skaar, Son of Hulk, hits planet Earth—and planet Earth hits back! The book follows through on the epic storyline we’ve been building since the last page of WORLD WAR HULK and through the previous 10 issues of SKAAR: SON OF HULK, but it’s also designed to be absolutely new reader friendly. All you need to know is that the Hulk has a big, green, furious, half-alien son who’s on his way to Earth—the rest is explained as we launch into the action of the story. And the story co-stars the Fantastic Four, She-Hulk, Norman Osborn, the Warbound, and, of course, Bruce Banner, aka the Incredible Hulk! We’re talking massive smashing and massive emotional payoff along with a shocking twist that will open up a whole new world for Skaar. So, don’t dare miss it!
Marvel.com: You mentioned the Fantastic Four appearing. We know Reed Richards is the one who discovers that the Jade Giant’s son is coming to town. Why does Reed take it upon himself to stop Skaar? Why not contact some of his former Illuminati buddies?
Greg Pak: Reed has a very direct answer to this question on page 13 of the story. He also has a theory that addresses some key questions about the Hulk post-World War Hulk that might be of great interest to Gamma fans.
