CBR likes “War Machine” #5

Timothy Callahan has reviewed “War Machine” #5 for Comic Book Resources. Here’s an excerpt:

Manco is a fascinating choice for this type of comic, because he can pull off the sensitive character moments and the big, ultra-violent action sequences, but he covers it all with a layer of grit and grime that makes it all seem sad and painful. This is an issue which opens up with Ares, the god of war, raging with glowing red eyes and decapitations occurring left and right. That’s all on the opening page, by the way. And the comic escalates from there.

Pak talks “Planet Skaar” at Marvel.com

In a new interview at Marvel.com, writer Greg Pak discusses “Skaar” #11, featuring the return of the Warbound as the Son of Hulk plows his way across Planet Earth. Here’s an excerpt:

Pak, who created the Warbound during “Planet Hulk,” has no trouble picking which member of the group he has the most fun writing.
“Korg, the mighty stone man from Krona, natch,” the writer confesses. “Korg’s a rock, both literally and metaphorically. Now I love writing antiheroes with flawed motivations and really bad manners as much as the next guy. But there’s something special about writing a character with such a big, big heart who always seems to know the right thing to say and do. We all need a Korg in our lives, don’t we?”
