Marvel announces Greg Pak’s “Magneto: Testament” at Wizard World Philly

Posted on by

During Friday’s Mondo Marvel panel at Wizard World Philly, Marvel announced that writer Greg Pak, artist Carlo Di Giandomenico, and editor Warren Simons are working on “Magneto: Testament,” a five issue miniseries starting in September.
An excerpt from the Newsarama interview with Pak:

NRAMA: What is Magneto’s status as we start this comic? Where is he and where’s his head?
GP: He’s a boy who wants to give a girl a silver chain. And then his entire world explodes.
NRAMA: Ah, so this goes all the way back to his time before the Holocaust? What can you tell us about the story?
GP: Magneto: Testament follows a Jewish boy and his family through Germany and Poland from 1935 to 1945 as they struggle to survive the Nazi rise to power and Hitler’s Final Solution.
NRAMA: So is this all about Magneto’s family? And will we see any other people with a relationship to Magneto?
GP: The book is all about our young hero and his family. His father in particular plays a huge role — as our story begins, he’s a German Jewish veteran of World War I who believes against all evidence that the nation that produced Beethoven and Mendelssohn will come to its senses.
And a young woman named Magda makes an appearance…

IncredibleHulkOnline.com interviews Pak about “Skaar”

Posted on by

IncredibleHulkOnline.com has posted an interview with writer Greg Pak about his new series, “Skaar: Son of Hulk.” An excerpt:

IH:EOD: What is the basic concept behind the series and what are you trying to accomplish?
GP: It’s a way to explore this fantasy of savagery that’s been part of genre fiction since day one. Maybe the more civilized our daily lives become, the more compelled we are by action movies, westerns, gangster flicks, and swords-and-sorcery epics — and the Hulk, natch! We’re constantly frustrated and angered by stupid, unjust things in our daily lives. But we’re civilized people; we can’t smash. But the Hulk can. So we vicariously enjoy the righteous mayhem he creates. “Skaar” lets us take that a step further with an even more savage protagonist and world — both exploring and challenging this notion of the savage hero.
IH:EOD: So will we be seeing any familiar faces from the Planet Hulk storyline? Did you create some new creatures or adversaries?
GP: Readers of “Planet Hulk” will be richly rewarded — almost every new character has some pretty nifty ties to the characters and history we introduced in “Planet Hulk.” We’re deepening and expanding the world in some pretty cool ways.
The most important new character in issue #1 is our big villain, a former Imperial general known as Axeman Bone. When Ron Garney’s first Axeman pencils came in, I had to sit down and catch my breath. I want the action figure NOW.

The ISB loves “Incredible Hercules” #117

From Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog:

In this comic, a Japanese god of evil who speaks only in Haiku fights a polar bear. So really, there’s no possible way that this isn’t the best comic book of the week. Maybe the year.

“Incredible Hercules” #117 was written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente with pencils by Rafa Sandoval and hit comic book stores on Wednesday.
