Dave Richards of ComicBookResources.com has posted his Top Five Writers of 2007 list, and Greg Pak has made the cut. The money quote:

I never thought I’d find another writer who’d make the Hulk as fascinating for me as Peter David, but this year Pak proved his name belongs alongside David in the pantheon of great Hulk writers. He provided a powerful and heartbreaking finale for the “Planet Hulk” storyline, and in “Incredible Hulk” and “World War Hulk” gave readers a tale that managed to be visceral, powerful, balanced, and thought-provoking.

The key quote:

Greg Pak accomplished the near-impossible. He took my mind off Civil War and told a great tale while he was at it. The godliness and redemption of Bruce Banner in his Hulk incarnation was spot-on. In my mind, Pak understands the Hulk character like no one has since Peter David’s glorious run. I loved Planet Hulk, and think it is one of the most underrated stories that was told this year. If you didn’t see it and want to cleanse your Marvel palate, I would highly recommend picking it up.

Greg Pak’s “Planet Hulk” epic makes Randy Myer’s Best of 2007 graphic novels list for the Oakland Tribune. An excerpt:

… this adventure with the big, mean green one so engrossed me that I turned into a hermit one weekend to read it. Pak blasts the Hulk to a bloodthirsty planet caught up in a brutal caste system. This is epic, grand story-telling, on par with “Gladiator” and “Lord of the Rings.” A book that never lags, never disappoints.

The Thursday Morning Quarterback Crew at WizardUniverse.com mentions Greg Pak in the “Best Writer” section of their Best of 2007 column. An excerpt:

I came late to the Pak party in Hulk, but every month of this year, he’s delivered something I never thought possible—he made me care about the Hulk…. I got a completely fresh take on a character I used to avoid, and I got a solid year’s worth of entertaining, nail-biting stories that kept me coming back each month. That’s all you can ask for.

I think that whole little corner of the Marvel U, all the post-World War Hulk spinoffs and storylines, are some of the most exciting comics Marvel’s putting out right now. That’s definitely something worth watching for in 2008.
