Arch-E-5912 in the slave pits of Sakaar, from “Incredible Hulk†#93
|
Greetings, rebels and revolutionaries of Planet Sakaar! My name is Arch-E-5912. I’m a communications bot and former slave who now serves the Green Scar, aka the Incredible Hulk, as he leads his band of gladiators and refugees in battle against the oppressive Imperial forces of the Red King.
Because of my ability to create encrypted data streams, I’ve been tasked with communicating with the outside world, providing potential allies like yourself with the chance to meet members of the Hulk’s crew and ask whatever questions you may have about the Green Scar and our struggle against the Emperor.
WizardUniverse.com interviews Pak – Mastermind Excello to appear in “Incredible Hulk” #100!
WizardUniverse.com has posted an extensive interview with writer Greg Pak about his “Planet Hulk” story in the “Incredible Hulk” comic book. The interview features on giant piece of news which should interest fans of Mastermind Excello:
What’s coming up in the 100th issue?
PAK: It’s the first issue in the climactic “Allegiance†storyline, featuring incredible action and some shocking emotional developments for the Hulk and his key allies. There’s also a 10-page backup story that gives us a glimpse of what’s happening on Planet Earth. And I’ll go ahead and spill the beans. Issue #100 will feature a few surprise guest stars, including Reed Richards and Amadeus Cho, a.k.a. Mastermind Excello. Who the heck is that, you ask? He’s a character I developed for the Amazing Fantasy #15 anthology issue, and he won the online contest Marvel.com ran to see which character from the anthology would get his or her own miniseries. In the Amazing Fantasy story, Amadeus Cho is a genius kid on the run who has an unexpected encounter with our big green friend. As we’ll see in Incredible Hulk #100, Amadeus may end up playing a very important role in the Hulk’s future…

ComixFan.com interview with Greg Pak: “Hulk,” “Phoenix,” and “Mastermind Excello”
ComixFan.com has posted an interview with writer Greg Pak about upcoming projects, including “Planet Hulk,” “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong,” and Mastermind Excello. An excerpt:
Comixfan: Now on to some Planet Hulk related questions. Part one of Planet Hulk just came to an end and Anarchy is fast approaching. Are there any details you can share on what to expect in the upcoming issues?
Greg Pak: If the Exile story arc of Planet Hulk was Star Wars, the Anarchy arc is The Empire Strikes Back. Just as thrilling, but darker and deeper. We’re learning more about the horrors of the Emperor’s rule, the mythic role the Hulk seems destined to play, and how their growing rage is affecting the Hulk and his crew. Big, big things are in store for several of the supporting characters — Miek, the four-armed Native, and Caiera, the gray-skinned female Shadow Guard Lieutenant, in particular. They’re going to become major characters in the Hulk’s life — keep an eye on ‘em! And of course, the smashing continues.
