ComicMonsters.com’s Gary M. Miller has interviewed writer Greg Pak about his return to “Incredible Hulk,” starting with issue #601 on August 26. Here’s an excerpt:

“While ‘SMASH’ must invariably follow ‘HULK,’ I’ve been eager to get my hands on Banner for a long time and I’m having an absolute blast writing him. We’re in for some good, meaty character development as well as some wild new action as a result.” He adds: “A Hulk book needs massive smashing. That’s the visceral hook of the whole concept. At the same time, all that smashing only really pays off if there’s an emotional story that works. Certain stories will require more Banner or more Hulk, and that’s fine, as long as we get that crazy vicarious pleasure of the smash combined with the emotional complexity and character development that makes us care.”
