Luke Handley and Paul Brian McCoy call “Incredible Hercules” “one of the best books Marvel is putting out at the moment” in their rave advance review of issue #113 at ComicsBulletin.com. Here’s the quote in context:
…this is well worth the time and money. It’s a step up in quality from the already high quality Incredible Hulk run Pak has been responsible for and the art is very nice. The mythological elements of Hercules character are playing a central part and are serving to make him a much more nuanced and interesting character than he’s ever been. Amadeus Cho continues to be entertaining with his determination and grit. And even Ares is being utilized much more effectively than he has been over in Mighty Avengers. I recommend this highly. It is, without a doubt, one of the best books Marvel is putting out at the moment.

And here’s what Comixtreme had to say about the last issue:
In the last couple years, Hercules has had a renaissance, as he was extremely well portrayed in Civil War, and then in World War Hulk was once again extremely well written and characterized. Now, he’s taking over this title for a little while, with Amadeus Cho at his side, and although its one of the oddest team-ups, on paper, in reality it ends up working extremely well under Pak/Van Lente’s pens.
Heidi Meeley at ComicsFairplay.com read “Planet Hulk” again — and loved “Planet Hulk” again. Here’s an excerpt from her post:
The last few days I decided to go back and re-read the Planet Hulk saga. It is one of those rare stories that is even better the second time around. Writer Greg Pak truly created a fantastic adventure in this story. The characters are compelling, the storyline fascinating, and there was opportunity for the Hulk to expand his horizons, so to speak.

Sean T. Collins’ year end review of mainstream comics at ComicsReporter.com has this to say about writer Greg Pak’s work on “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk”:
Greg Pak is a good, conscientious writer. The run-up to WWH had Hulk becoming a Spartacus figure on a faraway planet, and he really put in the effort of developing the different societies and races there while many writers would have just said “draw some crazy aliens.” That carried over into his pacing of WWH, who fought who and how, the way the characters entered and exited the series and interacted with each other when they were there, and so on.
Comixtreme has posted another review of “Warbound” #1 — this time by Adam Chapman. An excerpt:
This is a very entertaining issue, as we see the irony of the Warbound being in the Hulk’s situation. Pak makes both the Warbound AND Waynesboro relatable and interesting, and sympathetic…. I’m a real fan of Pak’s use of the varied characters here, and Korg and Hiroim remain as awesome as ever. Those two are without a doubt the fan favourites of the Warbound, and for good reason. Both characters are really interesting to read, and the dialogue that Pak supplies works perfectly.
