Greg Pak has been making quite an impact over at Marvel Comics in recent years. He is responsible for the current Planet Hulk story in the The Incredible Hulk and the soon to be released sequel to Phoenix Endsong- Phoenix Warsong. Greg Pak recently found some time to give Comixfan a few details regarding his upcoming work with the Hulk, the X-Men, and his own creation Mastermind Excello.

Comixfan: Now on to some Planet Hulk related questions. Part one of Planet Hulk just came to an end and Anarchy is fast approaching. Are there any details you can share on what to expect in the upcoming issues?

Greg Pak: If the Exile story arc of Planet Hulk was Star Wars, the Anarchy arc is The Empire Strikes Back. Just as thrilling, but darker and deeper. We're learning more about the horrors of the Emperor's rule, the mythic role the Hulk seems destined to play, and how their growing rage is affecting the Hulk and his crew. Big, big things are in store for several of the supporting characters -- Miek, the four-armed Native, and Caiera, the gray-skinned female Shadow Guard Lieutenant, in particular. They're going to become major characters in the Hulk's life - keep an eye on 'em! And of course, the smashing continues.

Also, don't miss the Planet Hulk: Gladiator Guidebook which hits stands on July 19. It's an incredibly detailed guide to the history and inhabitants of Planet Sakaar - with tons of juicy details about the members of Hulk's crew that you won't find anywhere else.

Comixfan: Hulk recently went head to head with the Silver Savage. Will any other Marvel characters be stopping in for a brawl or two?

Incredible Hulk # 98 CoverGreg Pak: Jarella of K'ai, who some say was the Hulk's greatest love, made an appearance in Giant Size Hulk last month. And don't miss Incredible Hulk #100 - a slew of major Marvel characters will pop up there.

Comixfan: Are there any other characters you would like to work on or will be working on in the future?

Greg Pak: The X-Men I think about the most these days (aside from the characters I'm working with in Warsong) are Storm, Nightcrawler, Angel, and Magneto. I'm hoping to get my hands on some of those characters someday. Other characters I've always loved include Deathlok and Morbius. But the character I'm probably the most excited about this instant is Amadeus Cho, aka Mastermind Excello, the genius kid on the run who first appeared in a story I wrote for Amazing Fantasy #15. Marvel.com polled readers to find out which character from Amazing Fantasy #15 should get a miniseries, and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada recently announced at Newsarama that Mastermind Excello won. I'm working on plans for him to appear in an upcoming comic I'm writing now - keep your eyes open!
