Jen Contino at the PULSE has interviewed writer Greg Pak about his “World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound” miniseries. An excerpt:
THE PULSE: What is it about this story that you think is going to win it an audience with today’s jaded comic reader? How does this appeal to the masses?
PAK: One of the advantages about writing a story with relatively new characters is that the audience has the thrill of knowing that literally anything might happen at any moment. So in the “Warbound” miniseries, we can develop our characters’ lives and stories to real conclusions, massive changes, or definitive endings. During the course of the “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk” epic, at least five of our major characters died or went missing — that allows for real drama and high impact emotional storytelling.
