Greg Pak is AngryAsianMan.com’s Angry Reader of the Week

AngryAsianMan.com has featured Greg Pak as its Angry Reader of the Week! Here’s an excerpt:

I’m in the business of escapist entertainment. But I’d argue that the greatest escapist literature doesn’t just let us avoid our problems; it gives us a safe space to explore new ways to deal with our real world challenges. One of the reasons I’ve been so drawn to the Hulk, for example, is that he’s insanely fun because we can all vicariously enjoy his anger and smashing. But what makes him a truly great character is that his stories almost always explore the price of all that anger and smashing. There’s a process of emotional discovery in those stories that’s incredibly attractive to me as a reader and a writer.

Newsarama really, really likes “Incredible Hercules” #140

An excerpt:

Once again, this book soars to new heights of entertainment and depth. Between Rodney Buchemi’s clean and expressive art, and Pak and Van Lente’s humorous and exciting script, I can’t imagine anything more that I would ask for in a modern superhero comic. Truly this issue, and this series, are pinnacles of the genre.
