Taimur Dar: Hey Greg, as always great to see the return of this column and your continuing awesome work at Marvel. It’s been almost two years since the launch of “Incredible Herc” and the title is still as good as ever. Really hoping for a Thor/Herc reunion when Hercules comes to Asgard this summer, but any chance of another face off against Ragnarok, the newly returned clone of Thor?
Greg Pak: He’s wearing some funny togs, but that might just be the Odinson on the cover to “Incredible Hercules” #136… Add it to your pull list, amigos!
TD: Were there ever any plans of Herc meeting California’s Initiative Team The Order especially since they’re ripping off his family names?
GP: Funny you should ask! Way back when we were planning the first story for the book, my co-writer Fred Van Lente and I talked a lot about a showdown with the Order, but the timing didn’t work out and soon we had a big storyline underway that took us in another direction. And as I’ve teased above, we do have an upcoming storyline involving characters stealing other characters names — don’t ya dare miss “Incredible Hercules” #132, #134, and #136 for the “Replacement Thor” storyline.

Marvel.com interviews Pak about “The List: Hulk”

Posted on by

Marvel.com’s Kevin Mahadeo has interviewed writer Greg Pak about his upcoming “The List: Hulk” one shot. Here’s an excerpt:

Marvel.com: We all know that the madder Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets. What levels of anger can we expect to see here: punch a car Hulk or break the moon Hulk?
Greg Pak: I’ll just say that this will be a real contest and Norman’s side ain’t going down without a fight, no matter how much gamma-powered anger they face. I’ll also say this won’t be a face-saving super hero showdown in which both sides come off smelling like roses. This is a dirty, brutal fight with a real winner and a real loser.
Marvel.com: Does Norman have a game plan for battling the Hulk? It’s safe to assume going head-on is a bad strategy.
Greg Pak: Norman’s pulling in a ringer who has a history with the Hulk and a unique skill set for getting inside the big green’s head. And no, it isn’t Doc Samson. Norman’s ally is considerably prettier, for one.

Newsarama and CBR interview Greg Pak about “The List: Hulk”

Posted on by

At Wizard World Philly, Marvel announced that Greg Pak will be writing a special one-shot entitled “The List: Hulk,” penciled by Ben Oliver. Here’s an excerpt from the Comic Book Resources article:

“I’ve had the good fortune to use Norman [Osborn] as a major supporting character in both ‘War Machine’ and the ‘Planet Skaar Prologue,'” Pak explained of his one-shot story of the Hulk with artist Ben Oliver. “Norman’s involvement in ‘The List: Hulk’ absolutely picks up on some threads from the ‘Planet Skaar Prologue.’ So folks who have been following that story will get some sweet payoffs. But new readers should have no problem picking up and enjoying the heck out of ‘The List: Hulk.’ Incidentally, fans of Norman definitely won’t want to miss his final showdown with James Rhodes in “War Machine” #9 and #10, coming in August and September.”

And here’s part of the Newsarama interview:

Newsarama: Greg, you’ve got your fingers on many of the various pulses around the Hulk’s universe. Aside from his use in Mighty Avengers, he’s been pretty much left out of Dark Reign. Why is that?
Greg Pak: There are basically three Hulks running around at the moment, and each has had a pretty full dance card up ’til now. But now that Skaar’s hit Planet Earth and we’re about to get two ongoing Hulk books — Jeph Loeb’s Hulk and my own Incredible Hulk — it’s time for the gamma boys to interact more directly with the Marvel Universe proper. There’s some stuff around the place that could do with some smashing, dontcha think?
NRAMA: Sounds like it is. So what happens in The List – Hulk to change that?
Norman messes with a friend of the Hulk. Banner picks a fight. And then all hell breaks loose.

Modern Mythology interviews Greg Pak about Hulk and War Machine

Posted on by

James Rasmussen, writing for the Modern Mythology blog at InsideSoCal.com, has interviewed comic book writer Greg Pak about his current projects. Here’s an excerpt:

Modern Mythology: What’s coming up in War Machine this year?
Greg Pak: Everything changes for Rhodey this year. Even as we speak, he’s finally brought his fight against madmen and monsters to American soil. He’s fighting to save the country — but he might just end up branded a traitor in the process. Key issues are #7 and #8, in which we learn about his target and see how he reacts to a high-octane intervention from his former teammates in the West Coast Avengers. Then at long last there’s a War Machine versus Iron Patriot showdown in issues #9 and #10 — and only one man will be standing at the end. It’s a massive turning point for James Rhodes that might just tear the heart and soul out of the Marvel Universe. I’ll say no more.
