Comixtreme loves “War Machine” #5
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 covers Greg Pak and “Secret Identities” at the NYCC
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.
