ComixFan.com raves about “Incredible Hulk” #102

Posted on by

Andy Jastrzembski gives “Incredible Hulk” #102 four and a half stars at ComixFan.com. An excerpt:

Away from Earth, the Hulk finally has a chance to shine as a hero, but thankfully, Pak resisted the urge to write to turn the Hulk into a clichéd hero. Instead, we get a deeply conflicted man who is coming to terms with his status as a hero/savior to an entire world when all he has ever known is persecution and hate on Earth.

“Incredible Hulk” #103, also written by Greg Pak, hits comic book stores today.

FanboyPlanet.com has posted rave reviews of Greg Pak’s “Incredible Hulk” #103 and “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong” #5, both of which hit comic book stores today. Here’s a taste:

Incredible Hulk #103: … Pak is the guy. In all this time, we’ve never really questioned the status quo of the Bruce/Hulk dynamic because everything was so good. Then in just a couple of panels Pak reveals it and …it’s still just so good. Despite this storyline putting an acceptable epilogue on the Hulk’s saga, Pak even naturally spins into World War Hulk. Suddenly, I can’t wait.
Phoenix Warsong #5: More Paktastic goodness, closing one book on Grant Morrison’s X-Men run while planting seeds for more storytelling. Though the artwork is a little uneven, this book never lets up, and never talks down to the readers. It’s not for the casual reader, but it is tremendously rewarding for long-time fans.

Philly.com has published a rave review from Jerome Maida of “Battlestar Galactica” #5, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Nigel Raynor. An excerpt:

Set in the middle of the second season, writer Greg Pak successfully captures the sophistication of the show as well as its overall vibe and that of its numerous and unique characters. Whether it’s Commander Adama’s quiet strength, Starbuck’s cockiness and cool, Number Six’s sultry manipulations, Gaius Baltar’s psychoses and desire for self-preservation or President Roslin’s steel will, all these characters ring true
…
Such complex storytelling combines with Nigel Raynor’s stellar art to make “Battlestar Galactica” a must-read for fans and nonfans alike.

Reviewing for SilverBulletComics.com, Steven Forbes lauds “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong” #4, written by Greg Pak with pencils by Tyler Kirkham. An excerpt:

I’m not going to blow it for anyone coming in late to the series, but it gives added depth to one of the current X-Men, and I can’t wait for the other X-books to catch up to this series. I’m very interested to see how it plays out. Top notch writing, here, and very interesting ideas.
