Newsarama’s Best Shots likes “Battlestar Galactica” #3

Troy Brownfield of Newsarama’s Best Shots crew likes “Battlestar Galactica” #3. Here’s the blurb:

Even within the rigid confines of a complicated and brilliant continuity, Greg Pak manages to write the characters and situations into new directions without upsetting the balance of the dictates of the show. The character work here is particularly impressive (especially if you know the show and can “hear” the voices from your sense memory). Honestly, I think that Dynamite is doing a great job with their licensed books; hooking readers up with familiar concepts is one way that comics will be able to keep pulling in new readers.

“Battlestar Galactica” #3 is written by Greg Pak with pencils by Nigel Raynor and hit comic book stores on November 8. Ask your local comic store to hold a copy for you today.

FanboyPlanet.com has posted a great review of “X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong” #3. The book is written by Greg Pak with pencils by Tyler Kirkham. Here’s an excerpt from the review:

If it’s better than it should be, it’s because Pak is a subtly humanistic writer, picking up the threads of Grant Morrison’s work on New X-Men and somehow bringing it all back down to a human level.

FanboyPlanet raves about “Incredible Hulk” #100

FanboyPlanet.com digs “Incredible Hulk” #100. Here’s an excerpt:

… this is one of the best Hulk stories ever. I’m a huge fan of Peter David’s run, and the two writers may be apples and oranges in their intent – this is one good orange. And it’s not just Pak. The art team here captures monstrousness, yet the sadness of the alien armored Miek is palpable through the drawing, not the caption.
That alone would make this a great book, but Pak also teams with Gary Frank and Jonathan Sibal for a back-up story with the awkwardly named Mastermind Excello. This character debuted in Amazing Fantasy, created by Pak for just such an emergency. You want to know what’s going to happen with World War Hulk? It starts here. Quietly. Urgently. Brilliantly. And it also makes Reed Richards’ participation in the Civil War just a little bit more believable.
