My deepest condolences to his family and his many, many, many friends.

“Incredible Hercules” #118, written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente with pencils by Rafa Sandoval, hits comic book stores today — and it’s already scored a rave review from ComicsBulletin.com! Here’s an excerpt:
Pak and Van Lente continue to do excellent work here, utilizing Hercules’ mythic past to draw parallels to the current story…. I couldn’t be happier with both the art and the story. They work hand in hand to create one of the best current Marvel runs I can remember. It’s consistent, too. This is a title that everyone should be reading.

I was worried about this book. … However, given that it’s Greg Pak and Rom Garney I suppose I should have known better. Both men are consummate professionals and are adept at straddling the line between old school action and great character pieces.
We really do feel for both Hulk and Skaar in this book. They’ve been lied to and attacked from all sides for their entire time on Sakar and all they wanted was to be left alone (well, before Hulk became king anyway). But seeing Skaar grow up by himself and try to simply survive, we see glimpses of a Hulk we’ve not seen for some time. He is savage and raw and just anger personified.
I’ve been looking forward to Skaar: Son of Hulk #1 ever since World War Hulk concluded, and the premiere issue does not disappoint! Ron Garney is the perfect choice to draw this character and the world he lives in [and the] story by Greg Pak really recaptures the sword and sorcery atmosphere as well.
This is possibly the most violently impressive Marvel comic I’ve read in ages… since Planet Hulk to be exact. Greg Pak brings all the danger of Sakaar back to readers in such a brilliant way that I wish Planet Hulk never ended. And Ron Graney steps up to bat as artist with such a ferocious energy that is unheard of in modern comics.
