More bloggers dig “Incredible Hulk” #606
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.
Great comic in the Fall of Hulks storyline. Buy Incredible Hulk 606.
Chris’s Invincible Super Blog:
… awesomely bug-nuts crazy…
… [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
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
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.

Newsarama really, really likes “Incredible Hercules” #140
An excerpt:
Once again, this book soars to new heights of entertainment and depth. Between Rodney Buchemi’s clean and expressive art, and Pak and Van Lente’s humorous and exciting script, I can’t imagine anything more that I would ask for in a modern superhero comic. Truly this issue, and this series, are pinnacles of the genre.
CBR gives “Incredible Hulk” #606 four stars
“Incredible Hulk” #606, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Paul Pelletier, has nabbed a four star review from Doug Zawisza at Comic Book Resources. Here’s an excerpt:
… this is one of the best issues of any “Hulk” title I’ve read in quite some time, thanks in part to the aforementioned visual effects trio and the solid writing of Greg Pak. Pak crams a lot into this book, never once forgetting that this is a title with the word “Hulk” featured prominently. Pak delivers Hulk in action — more than one Hulk, as a matter of fact. Pak gives the reader a Bruce Banner who should be feared for his conniving mind moreso than his alter ego.
