PLANET HULK, ANARCHY PART 2
Leading his army of gladiators and refugees, the Hulk smashes his way towards the Steppes — and freedom. But what of the millions still enslaved by the Red King? What of the rebels and slaves dying in the streets and fields? Who is the Sakaarson, and when will he come? The answers threaten to rip the Hulk and his allies apart—and precipitate a shocking transformation that could shake Planet Hulk to the core!

TV Guide to preview “Battlestar Galactica” #0

Posted on by

Newsarama reports that this week’s TV Guide will feature an exclusive preview of interior pages from “Battlestar Galactica” #0, written by Greg Pak with art by Nigel Raynor. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Ileane Rudolph, Staff Writer for TV GUIDE added: “For those who can’t wait until TV’s smartest SCI FI show returns in October, the new, instantly involving comic Battlestar Galactica will satisfy any fan’s hunger. It’s a brand-new story that should appeal to both BSG veterans and comic book fans not yet acquainted with the show. In the first of 13 issues, writer Greg Pak quickly sets the pulse racing with the appearance of a ship under attack whose passengers appear to be Galactica crew members’ long dead loved ones. Or are they really humanity’s arch-enemies, the robotic Cylons? With just enough explanation for newcomers to the mythology, but not enough to slow down the action, I say thank “the Gods” for Dynamite Entertainment’s Battlestar Galactica.”

Mark Paniccia, editor of the “Incredible Hulk” run currently being written by Greg Pak, has been interviewed by IncredibleHulk.com about the “Planet Hulk” storyline. Here’s an excerpt:

IH: EOD : What do you want to do with the HULK character and where do you want to take him with the PH story?
MP: Both Greg and I want to see this character challenged, not just physically but personally. We want to see what this side of Banner does when events push him in a corner. Does he do the selfish thing? Does he help the helpless? We want to see him at a crucial breaking point and there is the mother of all breaking points coming.
