Green Days digs "Incredible Hulk" #96
"I’m not going to get into the particulars of Miek’s story, because Pak handles it so well I feel like relating even the basic, non-spoiler facts could take away from a reader’s enjoyment. Suffice to say, Miek’s past leads to a conflict, and Pak fools you into thinking he’s going to give it your average 'shiny happy people' Hollywood ending. Then he pulls the rug out from under you and shows why this chapter of 'Planet Hulk' is called 'Anarchy.'"

"Ever since Peter David left Hulk following his decade-long run, Marvel has had absolutely no clue what to do with the Big Green. Pak has figured it out. Rather than try and rehash David's old work or force the Hulk into a particular role, he's let the beast loose and given the Hulk the chance to dictate the story. One note of warning: There are a couple of page-spanning panels in this issue that will melt your fillings."

BrokenFrontier digs "Incredible Hulk" #94
Incredible Hulk is fast becoming one of comicdom’s must read books.... Each of the first three parts of Planet Hulk have been wonderfully exciting to read and look at, so if you’ve been on the fence about hopping onto the title, I can’t recommend doing so enough. Though it’s still early, this is easily the best the book has been since the historic Peter David run of the 80s and early 90s. And if the final page of this issue is any indication, the book will only get better.

Greg Pak's work with the iconic Marvel Comics character began with the "Planet Hulk" epic ("Incredible Hulk" #92 to #105). Pak then wrote the summer blockbuster, "World War Hulk" ("Incredible Hulk" #106 to #111 and "World War Hulk" #1 to #5). The third part of Pak's Hulk trilogy begins in early 2008 with "Skaar: Son of Hulk." Hulk fans also won't want to miss the "Warbound" miniseries, which follows the Hulk's alien gladiator companions from "Planet Hulk" here on planet Earth.
