SilverBulletComicBooks.com’s Sunday Slugfest

SilverBulletComics.com has posted seven reviews of “Incredible Hulk” #92 as its latest Sunday Slugfest. A few excerpts:

“… between the art and Greg Pak’s writing I think this will end up being one of the all-time classic Hulk storylines.”
— Michael Bailey
“If I was looking for a reason to start picking up the Hulk again (and I am, who isn’t?) I would consider this a unique opportunity to get back into it. You should too.”
— Dominic Davies
“…there�s no denying that Pak and Pagulayan have created an issue that�s just plain fun. Because in the end, hearing �Hulk Smash!� is just plain cool, no matter what alien dialect it�s translated into.”
— Adam Volk

Good advance reviews for “Incredible Hulk” #92

Early reviews are coming in for “Incredible Hulk” #92, the first issue in the epic “Planet Hulk” storyline, written by Greg Pak with art by Carlo Pagulayan and covers by Ladronn.
The Velocity Comics Newsletter notes:

I’ve been waiting for this one for a while, and it didn’t disappoint: Marvel is unleashing Planet Hulk on us! INCREDIBLE HULK #92 begins a year-long story-line putting the Hulk in situations in which you’ve never seen. Written by Greg Pak, who might just be one of the greats in waiting.

Ron Thibodeau, manager of Comicopia, writes on the Jinxworld message boards:

Marvel has achieved an amazing feat here. They took this non-HULK reader, and totally made him damn sure that he will get every single part of this story.
…
Trust me, kids– The Marvel Age of AWE is upon us, and I don’t say that lightly.

Meanwhile, Andrea Speed at Comixtreme gives the book three and a half stars and notes, “Those who want a type of science fiction adventure story with the Hulk… should be pretty pleased with this.”

Two more “Mastermind Excello” reviews

Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa’s “Mastermind Excello” story from “Amazing Fantasy” #15 continues to garner postive reviews. From ShinyShelf.com:

… the story and art place this in that rare category, a genuine middle ground between US comics and manga. Good work from Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa, and one I’�d like to see again.

And from SilverBulletComics.com:

Mastermind Excello is well done, and I particularly like the little caption-arrows pointing out important, and not so important, elements in the panels, a nice little bit of play with the comics medium.
