Greg Pak is AngryAsianMan.com’s Angry Reader of the Week

Posted on by

AngryAsianMan.com has featured Greg Pak as its Angry Reader of the Week! Here’s an excerpt:

I’m in the business of escapist entertainment. But I’d argue that the greatest escapist literature doesn’t just let us avoid our problems; it gives us a safe space to explore new ways to deal with our real world challenges. One of the reasons I’ve been so drawn to the Hulk, for example, is that he’s insanely fun because we can all vicariously enjoy his anger and smashing. But what makes him a truly great character is that his stories almost always explore the price of all that anger and smashing. There’s a process of emotional discovery in those stories that’s incredibly attractive to me as a reader and a writer.

More bloggers dig “Incredible Hulk” #606

Chuck’s Comic of the Day:

The reason I’ve been buying this series is because it’s written with wit and intelligence, and just when you think you know where the story is going, writer Greg Pak throws in a delightful curve. He’s made Banner into a figure almost as fearsome as the Hulk – and that’s saying something.

DailySkew:

Great comic in the Fall of Hulks storyline. Buy Incredible Hulk 606.

Chris’s Invincible Super Blog:

… awesomely bug-nuts crazy…

Pull List Comic Reviews:

… [the art] by Paul Pelletier was, simply put, excellent. Pelletier’s art reminded me of David Finch’s in almost every conceivable way, which to me isn’t a bad thing. Lots of energy bounced off of these pages, along with the trademark savagery that seems to follow any of the Hulks.

“Magneto Testament” nabs Best Miniseries of 2009 from CBR Forums X-Book Awards

Posted on by

The users of Comic Book Resources’ X-Men Forums have voted on their favorite books of 2009, and “Magneto Testament” has been named the Best Mini-Series of 2009. Here’s a blurb:

Magneto’s past is often glossed over, without much focus, as concentration camps aren’t exactly a subject that’s explored in depth in all ages comics that often. Greg Pak, though, wanted to go there, and help to explore what it is that makes a guy like Magneto who he is, giving him his truest, most definitive origin story ever.

WeeklyCrisis.com reeeally likes “Incredible Hulk” #606

Posted on by

Ryan the Iowan has posted a rave review of “Incredible Hulk” #606 at the Weekly Crisis. Here’s an excerpt:

• The pull of the artists behind this week’s Incredible Hulk #606 (Paul Pelletier and Ryan Stegman) was enough to snag this issue a spot on my pull list and, must to my pleasure, it turned out to be one of the best books of the week.
• The lead story picks up the current status quo for the now-powerless Bruce Banner as “attempts” to be a “father” to Skaar, though his true alliances come to light as the Red Hulk sends him to Latveria to take on Doctor Doom.
• For being so action-oriented, this is a really complex story with a slew of twists and turn. Greg Pak does an awesome job of spinning and insanely dense story here.
• I’ve only read bits of the Fall of the Hulks story, so I was really surprised by how accessible this issue was. Pak does a good job of filling in some of the larger story gaps.
