Writer Greg Pak talks with ComicBookResource.com’s Dave Richards about the end of “Planet Hulk” and the upcoming “World War Hulk” Marvel Comics event — and drops some hints about who might appear in the “Incredible Hulk” tie-in issues. An excerpt:
On Earth, one person sympathetic to the Hulk has been paying close attention to the outcome of “Civil War.” “Amadeus Cho, AKA Mastermind Excello, a genius kid on the run from a nefarious secret agency, had a close encounter with the Hulk back in ‘Amazing Fantasy’ (v2) #15. Amadeus became a huge Hulk advocate and confronted Reed Richards over the Illuminati’s exiling of the Hulk in ‘Incredible Hulk’ #100,” Pak stated. “The end of the Civil War has only confirmed Amadeus’s suspicion of and contempt for the government and the superheroes that toe the party line. He’ll play a big role in the ‘World War Hulk’ event — primarily in ‘Incredible Hulk’#106 to #109. His goal is to round up the heroes with the guts to side with the Hulk upon his return. We’ll see him confront She-Hulk and Doc Samson in ‘Incredible Hulk’ #106, find out what’s up with Namor in #107, and learn how Amadeus’s team of Renegades deals with the terrifying reality of the Hulk’s return in #108 and #109. Issue #109 will be particularly significant, with a pretty spectacular Hulk-related revelation — dontcha dare miss it!”
