“Incredible Hulk” #107, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Gary Frank, has nabbed two “Must Read” ratings from the review crew at IGN. The book continues the tale of boy genius Amadeus Cho’s quest to assemble a team of heroes crazy enough to take the Hulk’s side during World War Hulk. Here’s an excerpt from the reviews:

I love Amadeus Cho. He’s one of the best new characters in the industry. I know many of you might scoff at that claim, but read this issue and tell me Cho doesn’t make this issue gold. His chemistry with the team is fantastic. Pak portrays him with the proper level of youthful exuberance. You can see how it would be easy to mistake this teen for any other until he executes his devious plans. Best of all, Cho doesn’t care to take credit for his intellect – he’s casual about it, simply utilizing it like we might a credit card. This book has proven its worth to me for this event.

As “World War Hulk” #1 and the “Planet Hulk” hardcover hit comic book stores today, YourMomsBasement.com interviews writer Greg Pak about the Hulk, Amadeus Cho, and whether that thing’s a tiara or a diadem. Check it out.

Amadeus Cho, aka Mastermind Excello, the fan-favorite character created by writer Greg Pak for Marvel’s “Amazing Fantasy” #15 anthology comic, returns to glossy page glory in “Incredible Hulk” #106, the opening salvo of the summer comics event “World War Hulk.” PopCultureShock has a six page preview of the issue — and writes that Mastermind Excello “really seems to be the breakout star of the upcoming promoto-vent World War Hulk.”
After a group of so-called “heroes” exiled the Hulk to a savage alien planet over a year ago, the Hulk became a slave, a gladiator, a rebel, and finally a conquering king. Now, after suffering an unspeakable tragedy, the Hulk is on his way back to Earth to wreak his vengeance on the puny humans who shot him into space. The main story hits stores on June 13 with “World War Hulk” #1. But “Incredible Hulk” #106 lays the groundwork as Hulk-fan and genius-kid-on-the-run Amadeus Cho tries to round up the heroes who might just be crazy enough to side with the Hulk upon his return.
“Incredible Hulk” #106 has garnered rave reviews, including “Book of the Week” honors from Wizard and Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog. And Marvel has announced that the book has sold out at the distributor level. Ask your local retailer to reserve a copy for you before they sell out, too!
Cho’s quest to round up allies for the Hulk continues in “Incredible Hulk” #107, which hits comic book stores on June 20 — preview images from this book can be viewed at Newsarama.com. And for those who missed Cho’s debut, the “Amazing Fantasy” #15 story has been reprinted in “World War Hulk Prologue,” in comic book stores now, and will also appear in the “Planet Hulk” hardcover, hitting comic book stores on June 13 (and on sale now at Amazon.com).

The money quote:

It’s an important part of the overall tapestry, but reads well if you’re just arriving. [writer Greg] Pak continues to do a great job, and I’m very happy with the involvement of [penciler Gary] Frank. I know that we have a lot of epic to go, but if it all maintains the consistency and readability of these early chapters, we’ll be looking at one of the all-time definitive Hulk stories.
