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.
