Colorado Springs Gazette interviews Pak, Loeb about “Fall of the Hulks”
An excerpt:
In “The Incredible Hulk,†in which a “de-Hulked†Bruce Banner has taken his half-alien, barbarian son Skaar under his wing, questions also swirl. Will Banner once again become the familiar, green-skinned Hulk? If he does, will Skaar carry out his vow to kill the Hulk?
The answers are coming in two back-to-back Hulk events — “Fall of the Hulks†and “World War Hulks.â€
“They are, without exaggeration, going to provide the biggest payoffs and the biggest turning points for these characters ever,†said Greg Pak, writer of “The Incredible Hulk.â€
“Fall of the Hulks†gets under way this month with a pair of one-shot specials before winding its way through the regular Hulk titles.

Comic Book Club LOVES “Incredible Hulk” #605 and “War Machine” #12
The Comic Book Club’s Alex Zalben has posted a rave review of “Incredible Hulk” #605, written by Greg Pak with art by Ariel Olivetti and Paul Pelletier. Here’s the blurb:
I’m going to pretend that Greg Pak coming back on this title a few issues ago was a reboot (which, essentially, it was, but without the new number one), and say that this issue is easily the best of an already excellent title. For those of you who haven’t been picking it up, a de-powered Banner is traveling around with his son, Skaar, who wants to kill the Hulk. Banner is (supposedly) training Skaar to kill the Hulk… Except maybe he’s not. Layered, textured, and tons of fun, not only does Greg Pak have perfect mastery of the Hulk and all his supporting characters, but he knows how to craft an issue of a comic that continues a story, but feels complete in and of itself. That takes skill. Oh, and Ariel Olivetti’s art is ridiculously good.
And if that’s not enough for you, here’s the rave review for “War Machine” #12, also written by Greg Pak:
Greg Pak gives James Rhodes a new status quo, and a gangbusters ending, just in time for his series to end. Too bad, too, as it felt like it was just getting started. For those of you who missed it, all twelve issues read as one mega-story, and this’ll read great in the trade.

Tyrannus returns! Manhattan crumbles! Moloids attack! And only Bruce Banner and the Son of Hulk can save the day! Unless, of course, Skaar decides to join the monsters…The first big storyline in the all-new “Incredible Hulk” comes to a senses-shattering climax as Bruce Banner discovers whether his take-your-savage-barbarian-son-to-work program has been a rousing success — or the biggest disaster visited upon the Marvel Universe since “World War Hulk”! Plus: the All-New Savage She-Hulk’s quest to find Jennifer Walters reaches its conclusion — with a stunning twist!
Newsarama loves “Incredible Hulk” #604
David Pepose, writing for Newsarama’s Best Shots crew, has given “Incredible Hulk” #604 a rave review. Here’s an excerpt:
What do you call two exceedingly divergent tastes coming together for one delightful result? Incredible Hulk #604, whose unlikely alliance between Bruce Banner and Skaar — as well as two mish-mashed but surprisingly complementary art styles — makes for the most entertaining Hulk series I’ve seen in the history of… well, ever.

“Incredible Hulk” #604 was written by Greg Pak with art by Ariel Olivetti and Guiseppe Camuncoli. The book hit comic shops last Wednesday.
Marvel.com interviews Pak, Parker, and Loeb about “Fall of the Hulks”
Marvel.com has interviewed writers Greg Pak, Jeph Loeb, and Jeff Parker about which of the Hulks is the greatest as they prepare for the upcoming “Fall of the Hulks” event. An excerpt, in which the writers pick unexpected champions:
Which Hulk is the greatest there is?
Jeph Loeb: It’s ironic, but it’s Banner who makes the Green Hulk the greatest. The idea of a man who was at the top of his field, had people who listened to him, was respected, and lost it all by sacrificing himself for another-Rick Jones-makes the monster all that more tragic. He lost everything. His job. The woman he loved. His family.
While the Hulk has had many different personalities, they are all really different voices in Banner’s head. The child, the angry teenager, the concerned adult-all of them. It makes him complex, even though sometimes he talks like he isn’t and just smashes things. And sometimes complex is the most dangerous Hulk of all.
Jeff Parker: I call Skaar! And Skaar is easily the most metal of all Hulks. He slays dragons, he has an axe, and whenever faced with a dilemma, he will always make the most metal decision possible, like throwing Juggernaut off the planet or dooming billions to Galactus. He’s like a UniMind composed of Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy, and all of Judas Priest.
Greg Pak: Look, I know Jeph and Jeff are whispering sweet nothings into your ear about the mightiness of the Green Hulk and his savage son Skaar. And I can appreciate their wishful dreamings-after all, the Hulk’s my favorite comic book character of all time and I’ve spent the last couple of years lovingly chronicling the insane adventures of his bouncing barbarian boy. But let’s face facts: the contest is already over. And the Red Hulk won. In INCREDIBLE HULK #600, he took down the Green Hulk-took down the “Strongest One There Is!”-by touching him. Okay? He grabbed the guy and drained him of all his insane gamma-fueled power.
Red wins.
