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?”

“War Machine” #6, written by Greg Pak, hits comic book stores on May 28. Here’s the scoop from Comixology:
An excerpt:
This was a very intense and very satisfying conclusion to the first story arc. Greg Pak really has Rhodey down and the flash backs he has been giving up during the story have been a really nice touch to the character. Seeing Jim’s relationship with Glenda in both the present and past really rounded the character.

Sequential Tart has posted an extremely thorough pair of articles by Margaret O’Connell covering the “Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology” panels at the New York Comic-Con, which included Greg Pak, writer of “The Citizen.”
Just an excerpt:
During the related panel on “The Multicultural Mask” the next day, [Greg] Pak expanded on the theme of comics’ relative openness to prominent roles for nonwhite characters, pointing out that Marvel has a relatively long heritage of introducing ethnically diverse characters. Even if their initial portrayals now seem dated, as with the blaxploitation-tinged “Sweet Christmas!” 1970’s depiction of original “Hero for Hire” Power Man/Luke Cage, these characters are still established parts of the Marvel Universe who are already there available for use. Pak cited African-American longtime Iron Man supporting character James Rhodes/War Machine, who has recently headlined his own title, as a prime example of this phenomenon.
