Mark Paniccia, editor of the “Incredible Hulk” run currently being written by Greg Pak, has been interviewed by IncredibleHulk.com about the “Planet Hulk” storyline. Here’s an excerpt:

IH: EOD : What do you want to do with the HULK character and where do you want to take him with the PH story?
MP: Both Greg and I want to see this character challenged, not just physically but personally. We want to see what this side of Banner does when events push him in a corner. Does he do the selfish thing? Does he help the helpless? We want to see him at a crucial breaking point and there is the mother of all breaking points coming.

The Hulk and his Warbound gladiator allies enter their final battle in the Great Arena — where a familiar face from the Marvel Universe returns as an implacable enemy. Faced with betrayal, temptation, and the most terrifying battle the Great Arena has ever seen, will the Hulk stand with his Warbound gladiators — or seize the honors of the Empire? The climactic end of Planet Hulk: Exile!

An excerpt:

Incredible Hulk is fast becoming one of comicdom’s must read books…. Each of the first three parts of Planet Hulk have been wonderfully exciting to read and look at, so if you’ve been on the fence about hopping onto the title, I can’t recommend doing so enough. Though it’s still early, this is easily the best the book has been since the historic Peter David run of the 80s and early 90s. And if the final page of this issue is any indication, the book will only get better.

An excerpt:

This is Hulk at his best, in a story that showcases the Big Green differently than any earthbound story could. … Is it a classic? There’s still another year to go, but it’s certainly looking like this will be a Hulk tale for the ages.

Whether you knew it or not, readers, you’ve seen many of the major characters here before. How Pak ties them into Marvel continuity is a forehead slapping stroke of cleverness. At times poignant, heart-pounding and even out and out heroic, this book makes a great read, and you can pick up this issue without losing a beat. Then the cliffhanger will have you hooked.

“Incredible Hulk” #94, which hits comic book stores Wednesday, has gotten a rave review from the Best Shots crew at Newsarama. Here’s an excerpt:

Greg Pak has done an incredible job with Planet Hulk. This is a story worthy of the Hulk, where his power alone allows him to survive. I also like that this savage and brutal version of the Hulk has some intelligence that maintains the Hulk’s personality rather than puny Banner’s. There are a lot of moments taking place in this issue, from the quiet to the barbaric and Pak somehow makes it all work. I can’t wait for the next issue. Things really move at a quick pace and when the final page hits, introducing next issue’s guest star, it is with a very satisfied feeling.
