Comixtreme raves about “Magneto Testament” #4
Adam Chapman at Comixtreme has posted a rave review of “Magneto Testament” #4, written by Greg Pak with art by Carmine DiGiandomenico. Here’s an excerpt:
Pak has done an absolutely brilliant job on this mini-series. It is so obviously crafted with such loving care, not to mention an enormous amount of careful research. It is perhaps the best writing I’ve ever seen from him, and I hold in high esteem a bunch of his works. But this is just something else entirely.
The artwork by Di Giandomenico is breathtaking. It immerses you in the story so wholly and fully, makes you believe what you’re seeing on the page, makes you feel all of the emotion that he puts on every face. Exquisite work. I love his pencils, ever since discovering his work on Battlin’ Jack Murdock. He was the main reason I started reading this book, I will follow him anywhere. A brilliant penciller who is deserving of the highest accolades.
An excellent read, yet again. Pick up this entire series, and you won’t be disappointed. An amazing read, from the moment you open the cover. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!
Comixtreme lauds “Incredible Hercules” #124
Adam Chapman of Comixtreme has posted a glowing review of “Incredible Hercules” #124, written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. Here’s an excerpt:
This book has a sense of fun and adventure which is rare in comics these days, and this issue is a perfect indicator of that. Hercules and his two female allies try to save Amadeus Cho and save the world at the same time, as Cho himself tries to engineer an escape.
…
The characterization of Namora, Hercules, Cho and Athena is once-again spot-on, and very entertaining. I really liked the ending as well, and am interested to see just where it goes and what it means. I’m sure it won’t last long, but knowing Pak/Van Lente, the have something good up their sleeve.

Chadzilla Roars about Greg Pak’s “Battlestar Galactica” Vol. 1
The blog Chadzilla Roars has given the first volume of Greg Pak’s “Battlestar Galactica” comics series a rave review. Here’s an excerpt:
The creative team captures the tense drama and white knuckle action of the series, with the byzantinian plot twists they throw at the reader every few pages feeling organic to plot, rather than coming across as cheap “Gotcha!” gimmicks. I’ll be picking up and cracking open Volume 2 at some point in the, I hope, not too distant future. I’ve got some catching up to do.

TFAW loves “War Machine” #1
The bloggers at TFAW.com have posted a review of Marvel’s “Dark Reign” books and have some special words for “War Machine” #1, written by Greg Pak with art by Leonardo Manco. Here’s an excerpt:
War Machine #1 is nothing short of spectacular. We travel to the Republic of Santo Marco in South America to find a tribal war that’s reaching a breaking point. In flies our hero to save the day! Manco’s art is gritty and realistic. I found myself laughing out loud several times because Pak’s dialogue pretty much demands it.
