Newsarama’s Best Shots likes “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong”
Lucas Siegel has posted a review of “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong” miniseries at Newsarama.com. Here’s an excerpt:
I hope Greg Pak has more in store for these and other team oriented characters. He seems to merge the two story telling styles better than most writers out there today, something I’ve also enjoyed about his work with that one big green guy. Bottom line- this story is worth the read. It builds on the characters of Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos in a big way, and shows the latest status quo for The Phoenix. It’s a different style of story telling than we’re getting out of a lot of super-hero books, as well, and that’s refreshing. I’ll give this book a solid 800 out of 1000 Stepford Cuckoos. There’re only 3, you say? Read the book.

AvengersForever.com loves “Incredible Hulk” #103
Nick Marino has posted a rave review of “Incredible Hulk” #103 at AvengersForever.com. Here’s an excerpt:
… the issue is reminiscent of Chris Claremont’s moving stories from Uncanny X-Men, mixing heavily between intrigue, fantasy locales, and introspective characterization. Greg Pak’s scenes are expertly timed to evoke the maximum emotional effect. And this could never be accomplished without the incredible art team of Aaron Lopresti, Sandu Florea, and Chris Sotomayor. These artists are in peak form as they create a stable system of storytelling by use of panel size, shadows, and color contrast.
…
The art and writing are superb in issue #103, and elevate the Planet Hulk saga from an exciting event to a must-read sci-fi epic.
SilverBulletComicBooks.com interviews Greg Pak
Steven G. Saunders of SilverBulletComicBooks.com has interviewed Greg Pak, writer of the “Battlestar Galactica” comic book series from Dynamite. An excerpt:
SGS: Who have been your favorite characters to write?
GP: I love writing Adama. Somehow his less-is-more terseness appeals to me. I particularly like writing his scenes with Roslin — there’s a quiet but wary understanding between them that lends itself to fun, subtle moments.
SGS: For those unfamiliar with this title, are there new characters in the Battlestar Galactica comic; and if there are, do any have pivotal roles?
GP: Our biggest “new” character is Zak, Adama’s dead son and Starbuck’s dead lover. Zak was introduced in the television miniseries and has a few big flashback scenes in the first season. But we brought him back in the flesh for the comic book series — but is it the real Zak, or a twisted Cylon trick?
SGS: Are there things with the Cylons that will be explored that haven’t been in the show?
GP: You bet. Issues #4-8 give us some glimpses into the “lives” of the original Cylon Centurions. And Issues #6-12 will explore the psyche of the Sharon Cylon in a major way.
